They debt is because we have too many people who think that government is the way everyone can live at everyone’s else’s expense is not a great fiction.
Funny coincidence: not long ago, my local paper added a weekly section it calls Uplift. That’s OK, I guess. But as a concession to humor lovers like myself, I’m hoping they start publishing a weekly counter-spoof called Upyours.
Arguing about how to do things is part and parcel of elective representative government. If you think argument in itself leads to bad ends, then that is how you get a Caesar, or a Napoleon. Dictatorships don’t argue.
It’s time to stop arguing over the fine points and “What Ifs”, find the common ground and quickly move out on the 90% solutions instead of remaining deadlocked over flawed “Principles” and getting nothing done while the World keeps going down the tubes.
It’s cute that antivaxxers still haven’t figured out that it’s just a government conspiracy to not get them vaccinated so they’ll simply die off quicker.
You can’t fix stupid. You can’t find a book on how to. You can’t buy or rent a DVD that tells you how to. I tried to Google it one day. Guess what. More stupidity.
Congress might consider incorporating a democratic decision making policy to avoid what we AT&T network mid-managers called paralysis by analysis, especially when we have a common enemy.
reminds me of the Conan O’Brien sketch where he would sing an lullaby. “It doesnt matter what i say as long i say it in this gentle way. Earthquakes, fires, flood, drive by shooting, Ebola…”

Pig talked to the baby in a nice lilting voice, but for some reason, the baby is going to be traumatized for the rest of it’s life.

Stephan Pastis once wrote that if you write too many serious strips, you risk looking like For Better or For Worse. This feels dangerously close.
