This Week's Cartoon (11/22/04)

Sometimes I feel like we're in some kind of Dr. Seuss inside-out world where nothing makes sense. Try to find logic: impossible.

Good cartoon.

This is one of the best cartoons I've seen in a long time - of course, I agree with it 100%. :)

Good rendering of Stern as well.

I'm surprised more people haven't talked about the racial aspects of the Owens/Sheridan skit - if there's *any* black celebrity who'll send insecure white men thinking of Cleavon Little's famous first line in Blazing Saddles, it's Owens, who is a phenomenal physical specimen, even among football players.

So, what's the famous first line?

I googled and came up with alot of lines, but have no idea which is the first. And it's been far too long since I've actually seen the movie to remember.

I believe it was, "Where the white women at?"

Ah. Thanks.

I obviously couldn't think of it because I'm not a white man.

Actually, Clevon utters that line to attract the attention of some dumb Klansmen, whom he and Gene Wilder beat up, steal their robes and infiltrate a Klan meeting. I think.

It's been a while. Even though I coulda sworn I saw it play on the ABC Family Channel (no joke!).

That's all....just pure genius.

Scary. I'm 41. I can't believe my eyes. I don't know how to stop it. Barring radical...stuff...what the hell can anybody do to combat the right-wing strangle-hold of our media? Bush apologists are rewarded. Critics are fired, or harassed. Nobody mentions it. Gay sex is the big evil, but all the B.S. we're doing in Iraq...just business.

I'm glad you're doing what you're doing.

I appreciate it.

Rougy.
