(Just ducking in for a minute to share this one -
- sorry, no time to check the long 'toon' posts first :( ...)

1. "We're on a Mission from God"

hahahaha .... but really... the furthest imaginable tribute to Elmore & Jake.


(the blues brothers would certainly kick ALL their asses)

[cyberpj]

4. "It's 106 miles to Chicago...

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a packet of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses... HIT IT!"

[fob]

17. Elmore?

It's Elwood. Sorry about picking that nit, but with such a great set-up, I couldn't let that miss go unchecked.

:toast:

18. doh !

i crosswired my blues guys.
thx for the correction

[neoblues]

2. Resemblance is uncanny. nt.

[Sydnie]

3. I don't know if you were listening to Randi today or not but

she talked about the newest weapons and their names ... they all started with the word "Divine". There was "Divine Strak" (not strike, but very close ... spelling might not be quite right), and a series of tunnels that was called "Divine Hate", as well as "Divine Hellfire" and one other that I don't remember the name of. They ARE building bombs for Jesus!

[C_U_L8R]

6. No no no.. not divine as in holy

Divine as in a tribute to John Water's greatest star



There are things about Republicans that you just wouldn't understand :-)
(but they are giving us tons of hints... heeheehee)

[Sydnie]

9. Cheney only wishes he looked that good!

Love me some Divine ... miss him much! :rofl:

[cyberpj]

7. I missed her today but those "Divine" mission names are insufferable. nt

[Sydnie]

8. they are not Mission names ... they are names of the munitions

and I assume their delivery systems (in the HATE one ... being a tunnel name).

I couldn't believe my ears! I bet there is something about it on her web site. I'll go have a look and see if she has something there ....

edited to add --

DIVINE STRAKE is one of several "DIVINE" efforts under the Hard and Deeply Buried Target Defeat (HDBTD) program. DIVINE WARHAWK consists of deep underground operational tunnel facility defeat demonstrations using advanced weapons at the White Sands Missile Range. DIVINE HELCAT was a 2004 reconstitution exercise to determine reconstitution time for the C3I tunnel facility at Nevada Test Site (NTS). Also in 2004 planning began for DIVINE HATES, which is a WMD production and storage tunnel complex functional defeat effort.

12. This DIVINE info deserves it's own thread. And some news coverage. nt

[Sydnie]

14. Be my guest ... please do post it as a stand alone

I have been ravaged lately when posting threads ... LOL

I agree that it needs to be talked about ... and loudly!

10. Strake

n. Nautical
A single continuous line of planking or metal plating extending on a vessel's hull from stem to stern.

[Sydnie]

13. Thanks for that info

I had no idea that it had a meaning ... I thought maybe it was another anagram.

[helderheid]

5. eek! k & R

[Supersedeas]

24. another K&R

[Cha]

28. Thanks, cyberpj,

My friend came up to me at work and said.."That 'toon rocks!" It's so visually descriptive.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Good choice, thanks for checking in...

K&R...

[Hissyspit]

19. Horsemen? More like horse manure.

Very deadly horse manure.

[Harper_is_Bush]

20. thanks k&R!

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

21. It would be funnier if it wasn't true and tragic

Senile dementia from Rummy and Cheney, coke and alcohol brain damage from Bush and Oreo Madness from Condi.

Nobody though putting the grownups back in charge would involve stark raving senile dementia.

[cyberpj]

22. Agreed. But then I never have found most editorial toons that "funny".nt

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

26. It's an excellent cartoon, just sad.

Thanks for posting it.

[bklyncowgirl]

23. Damn they beat me to it.

I'm working on one with the same theme!

[Lindacooks]

25. Good one. The only change I'd make is to put

millions of soldiers in front of them, because those four are too cowardly to ever go into battle themselves.

[cyberpj]

29. Yes! That they would be 'bringing up the rear' of the troops =a good edit

Bravo.

[Lisa]

27. does W get to be "pestilence"? He sure is difficult to get rid of ...
