Some Schmo wrote:A couple years ago, I went to a restaurant where I know most of the staff and was sitting talking to some of them when one of the hostesses came up behind me and put her arm around me to say hi. Knowing who it was and without looking, I reached behind me over my shoulder, and meaning to pat her arm, I patted her breast. The others at the table started laughing, and I was wondering what was funny. They told me what I had done, and I guess my face turned beet red. This is someone I know very well, who I know likes me very much, and with whom I've shared many cheek kisses, and yet I still felt horrible about it. She didn't seem to care; she was laughing with the rest of them, but that didn't matter. It was a mistake I didn't like making and I apologized for it.

The last thing it would occur to me to say in that situation would be something like, "Nice soft breast you've got there..."


So, you basically murdered her. With a gun.

What's with all the male feminists being outed lately? They're real 'grab 'em by the booty' types aren't they?

I thought this cartoon was somehow appropriate given where we're at now politically:

Um, let's think.

Say the GI in the first two frames was 20 in 1945.

So in 2017 he is .... yup, 92.

Somehow I don't think anybody who fought in WWII is likely to find themselves participating today in a right-wing nationalist demonstration where someone might take them for a Nazi, do you? And vice versa: no-one who takes part in a right-wing nationalist demonstration is likely to have fought the Nazis.

So the mini-strip is just a leetle tiny bit crappily misleading, no? But I bet it goes down a treat with the kind of Fox-viewing dummies who think WWII happened under LBJ.

I find it psychologically fascinating you'd assume the old man would be attending a supremacist rally. I took it as him just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but, like you just did, the Communists and Anarchists just assumed he was a Nazi.

Old Man Bush has been behaving very naughty.

Are you still a Republican?


No. I don't consider myself a Republican anymore.
