Gore/Bush
The scribble above has been sitting in my pile of homeless images for several years now, waiting for a topic to come along and lend it meaning. I paw through that pile from time to time to see if anything jumps out and this one did today.
Be free, little idea! Be free and fly away!

Post a Comment*JOHNNY CARSON poked fun at presidents, presidential candidates and politicians with good humor and a sense of fairness.
He did say, however,in 1968 that if this country could elect a man like George Wallace to the Presidency it would be quite a sad day.
JOHNNY CARSON would have had the same observation about Al Gore in 2000.
Anon @ 5:52--and instead of a sad day we got a sad seven years. I'd trade that for one lousy day.
Is what Al Gore has done in the last few years really "leadership?" Given the way hysteria has outstripped hard science in the matter of climate change, Gore has had a very easy time of it. Preaching to the choir does not count as leadership in my book. Compare and contrast the non-stop farrago of abuse that President Bush gets, day in and day out, quite a bit of it hysterical in the bargain (and I mean that in both senses of the word). It's hard to make yourself heard when the louts in the bleachers are throwing pop bottles and yelling comments about your personality. Cartoons like this (and other recent ones) are the artistic equivalent of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
I notice you've been strolling down Memory Lane with cartoons from the 80s. Will these cartoons hold up 20 years from now?
Questionable, in my view.
Very funny, indeed. Bush looks spot-on: insignificant and worthless.

W. will have the "pie-ala-mowed,"
thank you very much and be sure to tip your waitresses.
I'm sorry, but doesn't leadership require a role of some authority? Last I checked Al Gore is a guy who lost an election (he claims he's the winner, but turns out America still works on the Electoral College and he hates that) and got lucky picking a topic for his book that the eco-fascists wanted to hear about.
Leader = authority figure
Gore = yesterday's news.
I see Gore Derangement Syndrome still runs strong in the fringe . . .
QUESTION FOR REALITY CHECK: Do you regard everyone who disagrees with you as being "fringe"?
If so, why?
Let me refresh your memory on this. A few months back I expressed concern that Hillary may revive the idea to tap into our private pensions,including IRAs, 401ks, etc. Remember?
Well, somehow that discussion made to Google:
http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/borgman/2007/03/implant.asp
You seemed to support the idea of a one time 15% tax on private pensions and said: "Well the government lets you keep 85%".
Did you ever think of that idea before I posted it. Do you recall Secty of Labor Robert Reich traveling around the nation in the 1990s for the purpose of promoting ETIs (Economic Targeted Investments) which was Clinton's plan to require private pension funds (i.e. Ohio PERS) to invest in government programs. Reich made an appearance on McConnell on WLW on this issue.
So, to you, am I "fringe"? If so, explain.
And furthermore REALITY CHECK......if you want to get to the Google of our discussion of a few months ago......it is under CLINTON PENSION GRAB, scroll down on the first page...and it is under Borg Blog.
Win a Nobel Prize in fiction and Borgman thinks you're a leader? Too funny. Did I miss the cartoon on the UK judge's ruling on Big Al's book?
Comparing Al Gore to George Wallace, a man who campaigned on a segregation platform, is a fringe opinion, no amount of econobabble filibuster (or is it flirting?) will change that.
As for a cartoon on that UK court, good point: maybe have them wearing dunce caps, or clown make-up (something Jim's good at); and I don't know that has to do with Doris Lessing who won the Nobel Literature Prize (which I presume was what was meant by "fiction") . . .
TO REALITY CHECK: You just don't understand. Al Gore and George Wallace were both equally kooks. We know where George Wallace stood on the subject of segeration. Well, Al Gore's beliefs on the environment are as off base as were Wallace's on racial matters.
Now do you understand?
Oh, I understand clearly: by confirming you were comparing Gore to Wallace, you further prove how far in the fringe you are. Like it or not, environmentalism is mainstream, and has been for decades; it seems people don't like dirty air and water!
If a comparison must be made, it's safe to say Al Gore is to environmental issues what Martin Luther King Jr. was to racial matters . . .
"If a comparison must be made, it's safe to say Al Gore is to environmental issues what Martin Luther King Jr. was to racial matters . . ."
Are you out of your mind?
Wow, he (she?) just keeps digging!
Oh, and considering both Gore and MLK are Nobel Peace prize award winners, besides leaders of movements to better humanity, asking me if I'm out of my mind sounds even dumber (no, of course I'm not out of my mind, to answer the ridiculous question; the person who asked it, on the other hand . . .)

He would have said the same thing about John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.
