    ha ha -- "very scary-- and black!"

    You go, Tom Tomorrow! It's super funny when you do these plays on archaic "corporate white American" stereotypes! It's so 70's-ish and stuff... you retro-guy, you!

    That's what I dig about you man -- you don't let your progressive and hip nature keep you from unearthing stodgy, worn-out stereotypes in your quest to indoctrinate and polarize a whole new generation of ideology-driven lemmings... you go, boy!

    ps. I really did like the "very scary and black" part.

    Uh, Beezley? Have you checked out any right-wing pundits lately? It just so happens that "archaic," "corporate," and "white" happen to describe them very well.

    This is mainly to say that it's not Tom's fault if the GOP can't get past its own 70's stereotypes. And let's not even go into which party is trying to create "ideology-driven lemmings."

    Actually, Beezley, are you really just Tom Tomorrow spoofing on his own comic? Ah, ya' got me. You go, boy!

    "...a whole new generation of ideology-driven lemmings" - 'Beezley'
    You mean, like the ones who slavishly endorsed bush, the invasion and occupation of iraq, the abrogation of the Constitution, the corruption of the Justice Department, all based upon fear-mongering by Bush et al? Those lemmings? They're actually not from the 70's. They were born on 9-11-01.

    Bruorton and johnqeniac:

    Oh yeah, I forgot, liberals are the ones who are all "open-minded" and stuff! I mean except when it comes to world view, of course. As long as ideas align with their preconceived view of reality, they act all cool and groovy and as if they actually think about things. But as soon as pesky ideas about ACTUAL reality impinge on the way they WANT things to be, they get all bent and narrow-minded. Isn't that about right?

    No johngeniac, the ones who slavishly hate Bush to the point of blaming him for natural disasters, blame Americans for 9/11, interpret the Constitution without historical context, think George Bush is personally listening to their phone calls, and wish unpleasant facts, like that there are terror groups who hate Americans and want to kill them, would go away so they can go back to pretending that the world is a sunny place where we can all be friends. Those lemmings (though lemmings probably adapt to their actual environment, rather than pretend its something that it's not). And they weren't born that way, they were indoctrinated by the same spirit that inspires Tom Tomorrow.

    Hey beez, you mean open minded like Cheney (clueless George is just a clown), Rumsfeld and Dobson? The Bushites were hatched, not born on 9/11.

    Hey Boozey- care to name a few of those folks who "slavishly hate Bush to the point of blaming him for natural disasters, blame Americans for 9/11, interpret the Constitution without historical context, think George Bush is personally listening to their phone calls" etc? Because I'll be glad to throw out the names of a few folks who have made the claims TT includes in his comic - Hannity, Rush, Coulter, and Malkin to name just a few.

    It doesn't take "indoctrination" for intelligent folks to realize what a clusterfuck this administration has been for the country, but it does to defend the most incompetent batch of fools who ever steered the U.S. into a ditch. You wanna see a lemming, just take a shave rodent boy.

    Hey, Bozoley, can't you just wait for the upcoming race war? You can be in charge of the Death Camps for Liberals and commute to work every day in a black helicopter while listening to the Gospel according to Rush. Man, those are going to be good days, when we've purified the whole country and there about 200 of us left.
