Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 14, 2016

Congress-Man doesn’t have a costume. Changing clothes is too much work.

In the next exciting installment he walks across the aisle to enemy territory.

Inaction hero? No. You have to insert money into the box.

WildeBill…Yeah…Riiight…That will never happen….He’s not the Democratic type!

Show within the strip love it

Actually, the less they do, the better things are…

Is this the one where Congress Man is taken over by an evil mastermind with the ability to control minds and wages an inner battle to do nothing while commanded to do bad things? I think I’ve seen it before. They even did a parody of it on this latest season of Supergirl, where she was affected by a form of artificial red kryptonite.

Q: Whats big, white and sleeps 435?A: The House of Representatives!

Throw some money in the air and watch Congress Man chase it.

Wait a minute. Where is Congress Woman? She is justice……. She’s just as crooked. Just as big a liar. Just as two faced……

We don’t think very highly of elected officials. Is there anyone out there that will prove acceptable to everyone? I have my doubts.

if they are all so bad why do you keep electing them?

Just what can Congress do, Wiley, with a do-nothing- constitutional president?

Untrue, they go on vacation at the drop of a hat!

And we’re still waiting for “Congress Man” to start talking about his “plan” to give everyone “Green Eggs and Ham”. Yum, yum!

To be fair, standing around and screaming is like, 90% of Dragon Ball Z.

Just wait till you see Ruben Bolling’s cartoon this week, in which the superpowers of Congress-Man are revealed.

Imagine, being elected to a job where little or no actual work is performed. Yet telling others how to do their jobs, to think, to endorse idiots they dislike, ignoring any one needing care and love but demanding their wages. It is just the republican inspired tea party.

The Adventures of Congressman® is airing as part of the new Fox summer programming lineup that will continue into the fall, followed by Game of Drones and Downtown Shabby.

It’s a myth that Congresscritters sit around doing nothing all day. It’s just that they don’t do anything useful because they’re working a full-time job raising money for the next campaign. There was an interesting show on either “Planet Money” or “Decode DC” a year or so ago, in which a lobbyist remarked that he doesn’t have to go knocking on congressional doors with bags of money in his hands; the representatives and senators pester him continually in search of “donations” (that’s the polite term for bribes).

On the other hand, when criticizing the “do nothing congress,” be careful what you wish for: when government’s actually gotten its stuff together and taken action, those actions have included Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya, Reaganomics, NAFTA, repealing Glass-Steagall, RomBamaCare… Government Inaction may just be preferable over Government In Action.

A superhero that does nothing is bad. A member of congress that does anything is bad. Congressman is either doing one thing right or he’s the worst of both worlds in one.

I think I just heard the toilet flush…..

“Hey, Look! Coming down the Street! It’s… Congress Man!”“Yeah, it’s Congress Man!* Whoop-de-Doo!"Sees a desperate situation (fill in the blank ____________)…“‘Laissez faire’ is my Motto!”Stands by, watches it (kind of) solve itself (or get a lot worse!)…“Ehh, tried my best, tried my best. Well, anyway. My work’s done. Break-time!”Yep, the World’s Worst Superhero Ever!*Or Congress Woman, as the case may be.

All the slams at congress, how about a slam at the executive side that has vetoed everything the legislative side has passed?

Olongapojoe – ? Obama has used his veto nine times. (Plus one pocket.) Are you talking about Grover Cleveland or something?

Hey now, we have inaction Governor in Illinois. People aren’t calling him Ruiner for nothing. As it is, doing nothing is costing us far more then when Governor Quinn was doing something. Sure, there’s the illusion he’s ‘saving’ money by not fixing roads and bridges until they fail. However, then it becomes for more expensive than the maintenance work would have been. And, nothing costs a counties democracy more than an education set up for tests over thinking. Makes you think they want people smart enough to work, but not smart enough to think. OK, he’s good at saying he cares about people and education, however his actions, or perhaps more appropriately, his in actions, speak louder and of the opposite. It’s aboutperceptions. Until people realize greed is not good, but a sign of fear. Meaning simply: Greed Equals Fear. We all know one is more likely to be bit by a scared dog, well the same is true of scared greedy people. Don’t get bit by greedy people..

Things happen at a snail’s pace in government by design. The founders deliberately slowed down the law making process, to make it harder for ill considered legislation to get passed. Of course, it still happens.

OK, a little more on topic. Isn’t it funny the politicians that won’t help hard working Americans get more paid vacation for their hard work, are happy to take lots and lots and lots of it themselves?BTW,Was in Scotland last month. Reoccurring question, why do most Americans work so hard for so little? Little, encompassing pay and vacation and healthcare and……………

All you do-nothings out there. You know who you are – or maybe don’t.

I wish I had enough money to buy a couple of Congressmen. I’d set them loose to see if they could survive in the wild.

We the people, have the ability to overthrow the entire House and 1/3 of the Senate every year. In theory, by 2022, not a single elected Federal official would still be employed at our expense.

Politician, hardly at work.

Unfortunately, Our elected officials on Cap. Hill will not read this for a week. It takes them that long to decide who will get the morning paper.

There are Lobbyists, paid for by corporations and other collective interests, who work for free for you and me. They research the data, read and write the laws and keep the gears of the nation’s industrial and social support structures turning. Law-making is really just a matter of who has the best Lobbying representation.
