Fist

About
the time I finished drawing this comic the Senate
began debate on the PACT Act, again, and there is
little doubt it will pass this time. Unless those
GOP muthfukkahs are crazier'n I thought.
I hope that mean-spirited shit-fit by Senate
Republicans, which is requiring a re-vote, is NEVER
forgotten by the voters.
One more thing... if this country had universal health
care we wouldn't need VA hospitals and verterans
wouldn't have to beg for the help they need.
Tech note: Today's 'toon is B&W because I was
racing to make (ahem) deadline.

Trump: "Nobody knows who did 9-11, and it definitely wasn't these
swell Saudi guys throwing wads of golf money at me."
-----------------
I've always despised golf, for a variety of reasons, but the injection
of Saudi blood-money into this massive waste of natural resources, for
the benefit of the affluent, only reinforces my disgust.

Here's an idea for the lottery, to make it more equitable:
Draw numbers normally until the pot hits $50 million. Then draw five
sets of numbers, splitting the pot five ways. The lottery organizers
know automatically how many tickets won and will put the remainder of
the pot back in the kitty.
At $100 million draw 10 tickets, and so on.
This limits the payout to
$10 million, which isn't near as sexy as a billion dollars, but it is
better for the economy as a single winner of a billion bucks isn't likely
to spend much of it. While a hundred $10 million winners will spread
it around.
This isn't a fully fleshed-out idea but it's an idea, okay?
-----------------
In the back our heads too many of us equate going to Mars with the great
explorers of old venturing across vast oceans in tiny boats to discover
new lands...
and gold.
Totally the same thing if America had no oxygen and the average temperature
would make an ice cube wish it'd brought a jacket.

Another weird aspect of SCOTUS' Roe decision is that talented male athletes
in future may prefer states with liberal abortion laws, if you know what
I mean. Southern colleges may, as a result, not get the best football
players, for example.
Which is great because it may make some Southern gents, who consider
football to be no less than a major religion, change their minds about
choice.

I'm being asked my age by clerks way too often these days. It's annoying.
I've resorted to telling them I'm so old the date is in hieroglyphics
- an owl, a floating eye, a man doing hand-jive in a speedo and a donkey
getting an enema.
On a related note, I wish my blood-pressure medicine came on little
tabs of paper so I could at least pretend it's LSD.
