I felt my blood pressure rise when I saw that comment, and I'm not old enough for that kind of thing.

I thought those were better than the Pearly Gates ones. But the PYT series had the most depth and in the end, it had the most heart.

No good deed goes unpunished. :( I was blown away by this week, which I thought was extremely respectful to the inner Michael in the end. I think "Not a Fan" is way out of line.

Good speech, but didn't the President basically just repeat the "yeah, it was bad, but let's just move on and not punish anyone" idea? IMO, he's openly and thoroughly discussed a bad idea. That's great compared to Bush, but that's a really low bar.

I guess it's a rip-off the same way "Everybody Loves Raymond" was a rip-off of "The Cosby Show."

C-Dog's always stealing Lemont's computer. You'd think by now Lemont would have set up some kind of anti-Clyde boobytraps in his apartment.

The latter, I'd say. When he showed Momma in a flashback, she wasn't at all abusive. In fact she was shown to be a great mom: http://candorville.com/2009/04/26/why-you-talk-so... Reminds me of my own, but I STILL don't like that I have to call & send gifts on Mother's Day. I call my mom all the time, so why should I feel guilty if I don't call her on that specific day? I do think Mother's Day is one of those Hallmark holidays that we all fall for.

Patience. Newspaper cartoonists like Darrin work weeks in advance, and all that crap the GOP gave us about the CIA never lying was just a few days ago. So I'd guess the soonest you'd see anything about that in Candorville is 2 or 3 weeks from now. Also, I'm glad it's not all politics all the time. I'd get bored of it.

BTW, I agree with you, Ken. Very well said.

"I'm rubber, you're glue"? Wow. When you put it that way, I guess I was wrong about everything. I see the light now. Thanks. o.0 "Darrin's" (friend of yours?) strip as the work of an artist irritant who takes a position on the extremities of an issue, rather than that of an outraged supporter, as you both seemed to see him." First of all, it's strange that you're now commenting snidely on how people refer to Darrin (sorry, "Mr. Bell." Better?). You didn't seem to mind when Ken called him that, but whatever. Second of all, that's a really sad commentary when someone can, with a straight face, describe opposition to torture as an "extreme" position. There was no "heap of insults," but I guess the truth does hurt. My point stands: the whole suggestion that Darrin (sorry, "Mr. Bell") should turn a blind eye to his own guy's failings just 'cause you and I happen to like the president is shameful, un-American, and stinks of Republicanism. I didn't get the impression Ken agreed with you at all about that.

Yeah, I thought it was very reasonable to point out that Darrin's playing the role we need him to play.

Of course you don't think we're Republicans. You just want us to ACT like them. I wish you could see the hypocrisy in your argument. You rightly depict Republicans as people who "stand shoulder to shoulder and march in lock-step. Unity to a fascist fault." Then you turn around and demand that we do the same. Only to you it's totally different because you think we're right and they're wrong. I don't mean any offense by this (truly), but thank God most of the people in our party don't think like you do. I wouldn't want to belong to a mindless, lockstep, shoulder to shoulder party like the one you're asking for. Thank God the party's filled with people like Darrin who don't look the other way when his own people do wrong. "People like you accuse people like me of thinking Barack is God - but which one of us is it who wants him to change the world in 7 days?" Wanting him to prosecute torturers isn't the same thing as wanting him to "change the world in seven days." Not even close. That kind of hyperbole isn't helpful at all. It's exactly the kind of outlandish hyperbole Republicans always engage in. I really wish everyone in the Democratic Party were fair debaters, but that apparently isn't the case.

Susan's a great friend. But as much as I love my best friend, I wouldn't share adult diapers with him.
