Fabulous, John. Thanks. I think this made my day. :-)

I had that same reaction, Neve. I thought it was the best blend of funny and dead-on accurate political commentary that I'd come across in some time. Of course, it works best if your eye goes from top left across each line, so that the punch line (lower right corner) is at the end. Also glad that two female readers found it as funny as me, because I know it can seem like the world is ganging up on the poor woman here, but these fools asked for it with this idiotic veep choice during a time of maximum economic peril.
May the best person win, is my philosophy. As a woman, it makes no difference to me that the lipstick wearing bull dog is a really a man, I mean a woman. Oh, did I just say that?
Back to writing. :-)

I think you speak for many women, at least the smartest ones. And lord knows, you have more than enough writing to get back to. You'd better get that nose to the grindstone and keep it there...
Haven't seen this either - just great.
I'm not sure it was even publicly available on the web. My dear friend Richard told me he got it from his cousin, a lobbyist in D.C. I'm sure that group of folks isn't feeling especially warm about the onslaught of abuse they're taking from the Republican nominees in this campaign.
Hilarious...It's funny how these thumbnail photos and four simple words speak louder than anything anyone can ever write about this.
My thoughts precisely, T.
It amazes how people can automatically heap praises upon Obama and his "judgement" when no one really knows much about him and the more you find out about him is quite troubling.

Might I suggest that after two years of him running for president, with all the spotlight that entails--literally thousands of articles, thousands of hours of TV interviews, debates, etc., and even dozens of books written about him--if you don't know much about him, it's either because you haven't been paying attention or simply prefer not to know. This comment might have made sense a year ago, possibly even six months ago, but certainly not now.
