GarandFan:

Why did the light bulb head immediately remind be of Alan Colmes?

Cowboy:

Good toon and Quote!

This progressivism shit is an old vision! An old idea! This crap has been around for a hundred years or more with people like BO. They hate how our constitution limits their power. Unfortunately, we are the ones to witness the last remaining bits of out constitution being "progressively" shredded!

Terwiliger:

GF:

I think the hammer should have reminded you of Colmes (on principle), but I think the light bulb looks like Colmes by virtue of the shape of the bulb & the coincidental way that the filament detail John put in makes it look like an alien head turned towards us.

COWBOY:

Progressivism dates back to at least the early 19th century, maybe even the late 18th.

Consider that some of the underlying themes in the Communist Manifesto date back to Leviticus. Marx took a small communal model & extrapolated it to a national government model (bad idea--oversight is lost as "the machine" is moved farther & farther away from the communities).

Isn't it interesting that the argument for big government is based on principles of small communal government (albeit taken grossly out of context)?
_____________________________

So many "new" ideas are watered-down retreads of "old" ideas, & the general public has largely lost the knowledge & the reasoning ability to tell the difference between "rehash" & "truly new".

Because we are so specialized, most of those who originally had the ability to make such distinctions have their heads buried so deep in their specialties that they have lost it.

The Prussian system is working. Specialize. Get in line. Wait your turn. We'll "fix it" in the next election. Forget the issues, just focus on the candidates. Mind your "own" business--while you're in your own little world, the State is operating a giant machine, & relative to it, we are ants in a colony; we are minions of a State that exists (at least in principle) to serve us.

Steve M:

whoah-great toon... interpretation of this will be vastly divided, it can be taken many ways depending on the viewer. The attitude of the "hammer guy" is priceless.

Thunderbottom:

Hmmm - maybe should have stuck a sickle-head guy right behind hammerhead? Nahhh.

Terwilliger:
I don't think that the administration is modelling itself after the old Soviet Union - more like Bismarck's "Beemptenstaat" (but instead of the "Iron Chacellor", we have the "Tin President" and his pot-metal cronies).

Terwiliger:

Maybe this particular administration isn't modeling itself after the old Soviet system, but the Prussian system got its foothold in the mid 1800s with Horace Mann (& the other 2 schmucks whose names I have a hard time remembering--Harper & Sears, maybe?). That system originated in the 1700s--& it isn't the administration's model because it's already a metastasized, pervading cancer--a VERY useful weapon in their arsenal (& perhaps the original seed for "modern" progressivism).

Sorry if the way I put it confused the two.

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

When your only tool is a hammer,
every problem looks like a
thumb.

I just recognized that Blimpie was noton the worst l ist. It really might be the absolute worst of 2009. Such a m issed chance. And occasionally non-designers say they might do what we do - in th is case, on the other hand, they'd be correct.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

This blog is awesome full of usefull information that i was in dire need of.

Cant get enough of this blog. Your opinion and facts truly let people know what its all about.

You have a great Blog here Mate. Love your content very informative, Please keep up the good work.

I'm just curious.... how many of you taught yourself to fly, and how many of you had someone train you? For those of you who taught yourself, how many planes did you go through before you became airborn?

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

You gave tremendous positive points there. I did a search on the topic and found most peoples will agree with your blog.

I am impressed, your writing skills and the layout on your blog is most informative.

Dude i didnt find this blog my mom wouldve killed me. I owe you my life lol Awesome Blog Bro.

I've found this website very useful. Now i have higher concept on my auto insurance.Amazing! Image looking yahoo and google for hours only for this and that i in the end think it is on this article!

Bags Ride of the research, not for its mass increases the weight of the punching bag until you are ready for them or you will damage your training rather than development. Get equipment that suits you best.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

I want to suggest anyone reading this to view the feedback above opposing this article to point out how unnecesarry it could be.

I just now just discovered your blog on search engine optimization specifics and i also enjoy it a fantastic. I discovered quite a few genuinely fascinating facts here. I saved your internet site and definitely will come back.

Wonderful site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I'd really like to be a part of community where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Bless you!

There are some attention-grabbing points in time in this article however I don’t know if I see all of them heart to heart. There's some validity however I'll take maintain opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more!
