Just like those Ari Fleischer propaganda ads on the teevee now!<BR/><BR/>(aww, in hindsight I see the astute Porter beat me to the punch regarding those repulsive and falacious "resolve strengthening" spots)<BR/><BR/>Must say, (holds nose) NPR (stops) sure knows how to follow their marching orders.<BR/><BR/>And lastly, the cartoonists mentioned are paramount indeed (TMW is my weekly wallpaper) - I'd also like to cite other faves not already mentioned: Pat Oliphant, Ben Sargent, Ann Telnaes and MOST ESPECIALLY Tom Toles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-10916631808682793952007-08-27T11:04:00.000-05:002007-08-27T11:04:00.000-05:00I just have to add:Sorry, it's 'Sluggy'. Just the ...I just have to add:<BR/><BR/>Sorry, it's 'Sluggy'. Just the kind of weak amusement that Liane would feature. So, Liane?, get your war on, baby!<BR/><BR/>Also:<BR/><BR/>Regarding Gonzo's resignation:<BR/> <BR/>Few people do fussy, nasaly delivery better than Ari Shapiro, who was positively fluttery today, as if he, by his show-offy prancings in that tinny, narrow, suffocatingly-awful voice, actually had a stake in Gonzo's waddling off of the blighted Bushique stage.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Ari, that other Ari of note, Fleischer, has surfaced again - possibly for air, after years-long submersion in the sewery sump of shadowy bargain Bush basement life - to give us a powerful (in the perfidious sense) series of pep-talk ads that do nothing but contribute to the subversive and floating anxiety that is so mentally retarding this country.<BR/><BR/>My farewell message to Gonzo is, as Porky Pig would say: Get out! Out! OUT!! OUT!!! OUT!!!!!!!!!!!Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-22469737281222771162007-08-27T10:42:00.000-05:002007-08-27T10:42:00.000-05:00Indeed, 'Get Your War On' was the first thing I th...Indeed, 'Get Your War On' was the first thing I thought of when I heard the teaser announcement for this segment. Then I heard a reference to the 'Sluggo' profile, and I didn't bother.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, it's a question of 'why bother?' I can see why you're reverting to weekly digests, Mytwords.<BR/><BR/>I grudgingly have to admit though, I heard of Gonzo's resignation first on Neocon Public Relations. You know, Mourning Edition (ME invariably puts me in a bad mood; and that's a pretty mournful fact). I was about to indulge in a NPR-less morn, but then, annoyingly, decided to flip it on, and a mucus-voiced Inskeeper was rattling out the (good?) news. NPR's very ease of accessibility is one of its most alarming factors. It's that damn convenience thing.Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-10072868196440615932007-08-27T09:59:00.000-05:002007-08-27T09:59:00.000-05:00Oh and the sons of wealth and privilege really *ar...Oh and the sons of wealth and privilege really *are* serving their country just as much as those poor people!
