For Some Reason

I have to limit my news reading these days, since I just can't handle the level of insanity in the country and the world right now. But when I saw this headline in my inbox this morning:

I wanted to say, yeah, companies are not the only ones.

I've mentioned here before that my brother and I used to read the Doonesbury comic strip collections when we were kids, and even as I don't go deep into the news, I heard enough of things this week that I pulled out the big book and found the strip I was thinking of: Honey talking to Duke about working for Chairman Mao.


Yeah.

(I originally took a picture of the page, but it looked fuzzy when I published, so I scanned it Friday morning and put it in that way. I had to take a screen shot of the PDF to put it in as an image, but it looks better!)

  1. I'm not doing much with the news these days either. It gives me an upset stomach.

  2. Do you think Trump is just on a power trip? Like, I can screw up the entire world economy and that's fun? Or is he just literally demented? Or stupid? Or what...? I don't understand the motivation is what I'm saying.

  3. How utterly a propos Chairman Mao's habits are. I wish there were a Honey in Donald's group -- think of the money and angst that would save!

  4. Ever since the story came out about Trump wasting millions of gallons of badly-needed water for his photo op bragging rights, I've wondered why someone didn't just show him a video of water being released somewhere, anywhere, and telling him they'd done it. That's all that was needed.

  5. Thanks for the laugh, I needed that. We had the Doonesbury book collections too. That Honey, what a genius. (And yes, Alison is right…if only!)
