Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 18, 2011

Is Duke going to make the hotel reservation? Two additional comments: 1-Nice shirt 2- I think GT has just introduced a new character that we will be seeing in the future.

Bkkh Bkll boots backside!

I like her already!

The first alphabetical script, invented in Egypt by semitic hired workers (skilled, worked on pyramids), about 2000 BCE, had only consonants. The script developed into proto-Canaanitic, then evolved into scripts (plural) maybe around 1000 BCE or so. Example: ancient Hebrew (different from later Hebrew), was still indistinguishable from certain other scripts round about (such as Moabitic). The scripts were known only to scribes, who had to go to school. Scripts still had no vowels. But the SPOKEN languages did have vowels. They differed from Trff’s native language.

Trff seems to be in need of a vowel movement.

leftwingpatriot,.I did find the book online via the Australian Gutenberg Project. Let’s see what i can find on short order. .Chapter 10 (“Why The Second Reich Failed”), among other things, hits the root of Hitler’s complaint against the capitalists: corporations (“joint stock companies”). To him, they represent “de-personalization of property ownership.” They also allow foreign interests to seize German commerce, such as the German State Railway, which apparently was in the process of being privatized: “As I write these words, success is attending the general attack on the German State Railways which are now to be turned over to international capitalists.”.The second volume doesn’t have much on commerce – but it does have an entire chapter on labor unions. The phrase “National Socialist Trades Union” appears 8 times – it appears Hitler wanted to create a single nationalized labor union. Considering the reason private-sector unions exist – to negotiate wages, non-wage compensation, and workplace rules, that’s a big hunk of intervention. .The Wikipedia article on Fascism states that Hitler’s economic philosophy was never clearly defined, although his positions on unions (they were outlawed) and securities trading were obvious. Hitler would become a major-league market interventionist by default, just because of his idolization of military might. (That, the monarchy and the civil service were the three pillars of the reich, per MK.) The Nazis had to divert significant resources from consumer goods to accomplish that feat..As i recall, the Reich would determine what sort of automobile woudl become available to the Volk.

GT excels at making fun of foreigners, excepting apartheidists who bleed American taxpayers dry

I once attended a Celtic music festival. One of the performers made an appeal for everyone to give their excess vowels to the people of Wales.

Does she too speak with an accent? Tata.

Do I hear wedding bells at the book signing? More than one way to get a green card. Yeah, I know, I’m warped.

“Becca Bickle” – is she any relation to Travis?

And so begins the long climb up the American social ladder to eventually regaining the power he craves to make others do his bidding..have underlings tremble at his passing…cause death to thousands and maybe millions…Ladies and Gents I present to you Trff Bmzklfrpz next manager of McFriendly’s!

She looks to me like Rebekah Brooks from Murdochland. Am I the only one to see?

when worlds collide

Nothing like a love interest to get Trff out of the house more often…

Women actually do important stuff in the US, Trff. We have freedoms you didn’t have in your theocractical regime. GO USA!

Example of Hitler’s Christianity in one of his speeches:………………………………………

We are a people of different faiths, but we are one. Which faith conquers the other is not the question; rather, the question is whether Christianity stands or falls…. We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity… in fact our movement is Christian. We are filled with a desire for Catholics and Protestants to discover one another in the deep distress of our own people.

-Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Passau, 27 October 1928, Bundesarchiv Berlin-Zehlendorf, [cited from Richard Steigmann-Gall’s The Holy Reich]……………………………………….

So now we know how her name is spelled in Brzerkish…

Looks like you’ve done your homework, Night-Gaunt. Grats!

I get the strangest feeling she’s heard that line before…

Somebody here, a couple of weeks ago, Palindrome I think, said that Trudeau can’t draw a proper nose. I agree with that observation, except maybe for little Sam’s nose. The problem here that you are addressing, IMO, is Trudeau’s, not Becca Bickle’s.

If he’s lucky he’ll buy a nice little oil company someday and will have real power in the US.

Sleep with HIM? Ugh! Not even with Paris Hilton’s hoo-hah!

Nice Rebekha Brooks spoof, Gary.

Who is the “they” in “They’ll be a hoot”?

I really don’t think she’s considering hooking up with that scruffy-looking, overweight old dude. He did well in his country, because turning him down was a good way to lose your head. She’s way too hot for him here; she thinks he’s play flirting, old-man style, thus “a hoot”.

As an aside, I saw a man in the store today who looked just like Trff. Or, at least, one of his now-unemployed look-alikes.

Hitler is reported to have told General Gerhard Engel in 1941, “I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so.”

I was thinking Chelsea. Hootin’ with the coot.

In my opinion, more CINO than as an active, practicing Catholic. He was baptized and confirmed in the church but appeared to have very little interaction with the church as an adult.

Bzrkistan has a 22nd Amendment?
