I can't wait to get Memorial Day drunk

Unfunny Comic Strip of the Day
Did Gary Larsen die? Because this hack seems to think nobody will notice that he's copying discarded, first drafts of Far Side cartoons.

Warpig U of C alum of the day

Bill O'Reilly is now officially an elderly person.
How else to explain this:
Many Americans ages 18 to 24 have no idea what's going on.

For example, a National Geographic survey says 63 percent of that age group can't locate Iraq on a map of the Middle East even though the USA has been fighting there for more than three years.

That may be because 80 percent of younger Americans don't even own a world map. Ninety percent of the young'uns don't know where Afghanistan is. Ninety percent. And here's the best. Twenty-five percent of Americans ages 18 to 24 could not identify Dick Cheney as vice president.

Now, many of these young Americans vote, and they are influenced by celebrities and the press that fawns over them. In some young precincts, it is hip to be dumb, cool to be uninformed. In fact, you're a geek if you know a lot about current events.

Thus, we have millions of Americans who get their news from Jon Stewart and their point of view from bomb-throwing entertainers.

Two words, grampa.
Ronald Fucking Reagan.
