Tangles in the Underwear (updated 3feb22)

"Nothing good ever comes out of communism."  Sen Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)

George Rebane

From the Biden presidential library’s White House telephone record archives –

Operator: Justice Breyer, will you please hold for the President?

Breyer: Oh sure.

Biden: Hey Stevo, we’re gonna announce your retirement today, and I didn’t want you to see it on CNN before giving you a heads up, capice?

Breyer: … Oh … OK.

Biden: Yeah, Ron will schedule a little dick shake here in the White House, so you can make your retirement speech – try to keep it short and sweet.  He’ll call you later and let you know.  Chou.

Now no one has claimed that Matson’s elevator makes it to the top floor.  But lately during Bumblebrain’s administration, there’s reason to think that his elevator cable has snapped, or he joined the leftwing media lackies who believe, with some evidence, that their audiences compete at a disadvantage with doorknobs.  Pilfered from the op-ed pages of the 28jan22 Union, his cartoon attempts to convince people that the Dems have two killer issues for the 2022 election while the Repubs have but one.  Anyone who’s been awake in recent weeks knows that middle and lower class wages have lost buying power during the last year, and the jobs situation is bleak with workers on generous government doles unwilling to even attempt going back to work.  On the other hand, the Dems’ Biden/Pelosi/Schumer hat trick has provided the Repubs with more issues than even Matson could fit into his sorry attempt to bamboozle voters.

[3feb22 update]  The Havana Syndrome mystery.  It’s a puzzle to me why this hasn’t been solved by our intelligence community (maybe it has?).  Our diplomats at various embassies around the world, starting in Havana, continue to complain about all kinds of symptoms, mostly related to their heads.  These arose after being stationed in our embassies, which we are told are most likely to have been illuminated by directed RF energy transmitters.  But no one is sure.  It’s an easy solution to stick a triangular antenna array on the roof of the embassy and capture the frequencies, intensities, and source directions of any such radio frequency radiation that is used to bathe the embassy buildings.  And any physics/electronics undergraduate can design such a system.  My take is that this has been done, and the real mystery is why we haven’t been told about it.

Oh well, the poll numbers are bad, time for a mid-term kicker.

As it's now the Black Woman seat in the Supreme Court, I suppose there's a fairly small applicant list.

It's one thing you can certainly blame on the Democratic Party, they've institutionalized the political machinations of inmates to the world at large. Next thing you know, we'll all have to have our own prison wallet to hide items the panopticon doesn't want you to own. Keistering a 20 round magazine might be a bit of trouble though.

re: Matson’s two against one.
What else is on voters minds? We know the top 3-5 issues on folks’ minds. If all the important main issues were on the hook on Elephant side of the boat, then our Lefty friends would start complaining that the Right Side is over the Fish and Game’s limit! Bad folks.
Only those issues, cartoonist? Jobs? That’s only for the Fringe Bad Thinkers who aren’t advocating for a workless society. I can’t even go to my sights without come add popping up from some employer seeking workers. From HVAC to Lowes (this morning) from box stores to Starbucks…..everyday. Oh ya, CVS. I know, those aren’t good jobs. Even for mid-management. Good jobs require qualifications. Bring the receipts. Anyway, here is another fish that hits you up close and personal. It steals the most important stuff, that being peace of mind. Priceless commodity.

re: political cartoons.

(a rant) They're practically always awful. Awful gags. Not great draftsmanship. Ben Garrison cartoons are downright creepy-looking at 10% too far into the uncanny valley. The MacNelly's of the world are rare and given how good some four panel cartoons have been through the years the editorial cartoon world seems like a wasteland.

Somebody should put together a website of the truly awful ones.

Typically a waste of space in a newspaper but I guess it fills the (ever-shrinking) space. Kinda like the expansion of freebie editorials. And the Daily Jumble.

I admit that a single panel looks hard as a vehicle for pacing a joke.

It all gives me a good idea if a person had the ability and time.

Do a series of modern political cartoons exactly in the style of James Gillray. It would be an interesting exercise and confuse the straights at the same time.
