absolutism world speech
Not only was one cartoonist gunned down, but riots erupted around the world, resulting in the deaths of scores. No one could say toward what positive social end, yet free speech absolutists were unchastened.
money suffering poor
The poor are the only ones who suffer. And they're used to it.
political dumb information
Anyone dumb enough to get his political information from a comic strip deserves what he gets at the polls.
war kids thinking
I don't think so, but it's always in the back of my mind that many of the soldiers being wounded and killed in Iraq are about the same age as my kids. My godson is going over soon, so the war's about to get personal for me.
exercise insecurity becoming
Becoming the new feminine ideal requires just the right combination of insecurity, exercise, bulimia and surgery.
college order drug
At college my three main interests were - in descending order of importance - a steady supply of recreational drugs, a 2-S draft deferment, and overthrowing the Nixon administration.

Medical decisions have been politicized. What doctor wants a state legislator in his consulting room?

I try not to second-guess editors; they're the clients, and I have no expectation that my strip is going to make it into every paper every day.
spring divorce thinking
In Palm Springs, they think homelessness is caused by bad divorce lawyers.
ratios wheat investment
I'm a reader of milblogs, but as with all blogs, the wheat/chaff ratio makes it a poor investment of time.
people trying compromise
I try to take people one at a time, with all the contradictions and compromises that most of us live with.
