Kansas Republicans and Their Dirtywork Get Rightly Trashed Today


Yessiree, Bob, Kansas Governor Brownback, specifically, but all the Republicans in Kansas, really, got trashed today, what with all their "trickle down" economics plans that have so wrecked their state's finances and budget. It's from ever-brilliant Garry Trudeau in his Doonesbury strip:

Doonesbury 
 
If only Kansans would quit electing these "for the rich" fools.

Hey, we can hope, can't we?

Vote for a rich guy? And for the rich?


Once again, Garry Trudeau and his "Doonesbury" comic hits the nail squarely (click on picture for larger, easier viewing):


Check out that quote, above. This one:

"You know, it just annoys me that only a few years after the economy was brought to its knees by a gang of predatory Wall Street Plutocrats...that the GOP would nominate a predatory Wall Street plutocrat!"

And that, of course, would be this man:


For pity's sake, whatever you do tomorrow, Tuesday, election day, don't vote Romney.

Did someone say "imbalance"?

"The 400 richest families in America now hold as much wealth as the bottom 50% of the country combined." Put another way, these "400 richest have as much as the 150 million poorest." --From the comic strip "Doonesbury" by Garry Trudeau yesterday. Anyone give a damn?

Steve Kraske "scoops" NPR

Or, put another way, "Local Boy Makes Good".

Yesterday, on Steve Kraske's "Up to Date" program on KCUR 89.3 FM, he interviewed Garry Trudeau, creator of the "Doonesbury" comic strip--a long-time favorite of yours truly, for sure.

Anyway, as it happens, by coincidence, Mr. Trudeau was in town for his national tour, celebrating 40 years of that same strip.  The anniversary date is today so he was interviewed--very briefly, of course--this morning on "Morning Edition" on NPR and that was good, as usual.

But the fact is, Mr. Kraske was not only one day early but we also got to hear most of an hour with Mr. Trudeau and so, got much more information and entertainment.

So good on you, Steve Kraske--great job.  We appreciate you and your show a great deal and this was another terrific one.
