The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for February 29, 2012

Actually, I find myself agreeing with Joy….. enough already!!!

Leaky’s on his way to the bright and flashing lights. Lordy, I hope I don’t have to bail him out.

Good morning Crustwoodians…! ! ! .BURL and JOY almost seem normal here…. ? ! ?Scary thought… ? ? ?

It’ll only get worse as we near election day.

Morning, all —

The sad thing is, we all should be more interested in who runs the country, as it affects us every day….but the divisiveness, the rancor and hyperbole have driven us to run away, just the Pennys, just when we ought to be paying attention.

That’s the very moment they pull a fast one, you know.

Pass some Draconian law, drag us into war…

the Pennys would never notice, but I will, too late…… and I have only myself to blame for not watching.

Meanwhile…Marg — I got scared for a moment when I read “Leaky’s on his way to the bright and flashing lights. Lordy,”

I’m not sure where you meant…. Vegas? ….. but I sure hope it’s not where I thought you meant.

Or if it is, and you know how to bail someone out…. WOW!!That’s all I can say!

I wondered where Leaky went; he didn’t leave me his usual snarky comments after my bedtime on yesterday’s strip ;-P

The problem is we have NO decent candidate this election, at least so far. I don’t think we can afford to go through another four years like we just have.

Come on Trump, throw your hat in. I don’t really care for you, but I know you can fix an ailing organization. This would just be a bigger scale.

Rather than all the political ads and mudslinging, people who vote should just have actual voting records and actions of all the candidates (and be required to read them).

Does anyone know who Travis and Morgan are? I did a search, but did not find any major personality.

How many remember the old toon that began the ides of Sadie Hawkins Day?

@Dave HussellRunning a government is way different than running a business….. .In business… as long as you follow the law….you can just decide what you want to do…. and move forward…. .Government is just the opposite…! ! !

My 2nd question was rhetorical, but I still don’t know who Burl is discussing (I assume it IS a TV show).

@vidazzle Re: The Penny’s popular commode. Put Dale on the list for complaining about the T paper.

@Susan, Unfortunately we all tune out with “the divisiveness, rancor and hyperbole”. There has not been a pol in decades to whom I can feel totally dedicated (I loved Goldwater in his first run). I know my views are extreme ;-D

ugh. if these guys are what the gop is REALLY thinking of showing up, it’ll be another election where the republican voters stay home in droves. congratulations, mr obama.
