Oh christ.

Does Tinsley's arrest history prevent him from legally owning firearms? I sure hope so. He'd probably mow down a whole liquor store if a black kid walked in.

BTW, is "G-MAIL.COM" a right-wing alternative to gmail.com?

COBURN OK

Sen. Tom Coburn is mulling an entry into the Republican presidential primary, according to sources inside and outside the Senate. Coburn, a senator from Oklahoma, is believed to be receiving encouragement from a small group of wealthy businessmen and philanthropists in the Oklahoma-Kansas-Texas region of the country.

"He's all about faith, lower taxes, and staying the course in Iraq," says an adviser outside of the Senate who has been speaking to Coburn.

Coburn had been mulling a run earlier this year, but with what appeared to be a crowded field, including two sitting Senators (John McCain and Sam Brownback), along with another seriously looking (Chuck Hagel), Coburn appeared to pull back.

"He's not bound to any timetable or any fundraising imperative," says a longtime adviser to Coburn, who has spoken with him. "What's important for him is that there is no other true, Reagan conservative in the race, and he thinks he can fill that void."

Coburn is believed to have the backing of several low-profile members of the so called "Swift Boaters," men who financed the ads that doomed the presidential aspirations of Sen. John Kerry.

Huh? Tinsley is actually mocking compact fluorescents? "Burnt out more quickly"? WTF?

[Rspaight]

Compact flourescents rule. I'm saving a ton on my electric bill with them, and I haven't had a single one go out so far (whereas the old bulbs were constantly failing). Yeah, they take a little while to warm up, and the color temperature takes some getting used to (though there are a variety of different hues out there, some fairly close to incandescent), but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Tinsley, as usual, is an idiot. He must have tried to screw one in upside down while drunk, broke it, and then said it "burnt out more quickly." (Is that anything like "burned out faster"?)

I've been using CFL's, without issue, for many years. In fact, I had one last almost 7 years under heavy usage. I suppose this should pain me to say it, but Tinsley can be truly idiotic at times.

Recycling a joke is one thing. But recycling an excuse not to have a joke?

And considering how rarely his strip includes a punchline, why does he think he needs an excuse?

[lukpac]

Funny - that case was decided a week and a half ago.

A mere three months after Johnny Hart's death, we get this:

[lukpac]

For Better or For Worse is due to its syndicate 4 weeks ahead of publication date. Tinsley's needs 12?

Or did it just take 8 weeks to come up with that strip?

[Rspaight]

"Mallard" isn't controversial, it's just inane.

Tinsley *wishes* his doodlings were worthy of being mentioned in same sentence as Larson, Trudeau and Schulz. (Or even Hart, who was at least competent at some point in the past, "fat broad" jokes and later unrestrained fundie evangelism notwithstanding.)

PS -- And he still hasn't figured out how many periods are in an ellipsis.
