Day By Day strikes a wistful tone today. As usual, the point Muir is making is labored and not entirely coherent. I'm guessing it's a variation of the "everything changed after 9/11" meme. Zzzzzzzz....
Tinsley's joke falls flat as usual, but I find today Mallard Fillmore to be sort of poignant in a Philip K. Dick sort of way. Perhaps militarism is so embedded in our culture that one day missiles will be just another category of things to conform to our general way of living. But what's the idiot duck doing their in the corner, anyway?
State of the Union is awesome today. It takes a special kind of hack to mix visual metaphors. Okay, let me see here, the Republicans are Sisyphus, but "the media" is one of those canes from old vaudeville routines. But I don't get it--if the elephant is pushing a "defeat in Iraq" boulder up the hill, doesn't the symbolism suggest that the goal is "defeat in Iraq"? Yet another sign that conservatives really don't know which way is up these days.
Carl Moore, you have won today's CC Lame-Off.
(No Gaggle today.)
