Comics making Political Statements
Today (Sunday Feb. 27, 2005) Daily comics in the papers.
Doonesbury made a excellent statement about bu$h and his partners in crime. It is a must read.
http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html

Opus was equally great in the statement it made. I could not find it on line but the story has Opus the penguin preparing for the day, putting body lotion on, trimming nose hair, blow drying, bikini waxing then putting on underpants and running though the house singing "I;m gonna wash that man right outa my hair", The man of the house yells Hey If they can nail sponge-bob, they can get you!.

I mentioned to my wife, that I don't remember so many outlets that were making political statements, mentioning West Wing, Jack & Bobbie and other shows we watch and even the comics. Yes Doonesbury has always been political but so many others are now getting involved.
Her statement was that maybe we lost in November but that does not mean we have to take is sitting down and this is one way to make a statement.
I think this is a good way to surpass the SC-MSM and get a message across, the intelligent will get the message the ignorant will blindly follow popular opinion.

2. I have recently taking to watching Boston Legal
on Sunday night with James Spader and William Shattner(sp).

Over the last several weeks they have made several strong statements concerning the slaughters in Sudan, torture as a viable tool of war, christian hypocrisy, religion in the government and the decadence of current day conservatism.

That being true and even with the shows ratings being good it would not surprise me if it is not on the air for long.
