It’s always amazed me that our city persecutes those who run our critically malfunctioning red lights, rather than the inbred morons who designed and operate them.
This “Mother-knows-best-dear” mentality has brought down stronger civilizations than our own.
On behalf of the entire American public, I would like to apologize to Garry Trudeau. We have failed in our quest to become the rich socialist mob 
that he apparently so fervently believes we should be.
His disappointment is clear in every veiled innuendo, in every made-up (but believable!) character interaction, in each tongue-in-cheek barb that, if based in actual reality, would indeed be howlingly funny.
As Shelley Berman once remarked about Mort Sahl, “It disturbs me that we allow this foreigner to criticize us as he does.”
In the interest of politeness (and brevity), I won’t upload an itemized list of suggestions; but before spending so much time and effort making snide remarks about the way we run things in our country, perhaps Trudeau could find one or two issues about life in Canada that he could help resolve.
There are a number of other people in the world who could use this advice, as well.
We’re seeing now one insidious danger of entrenching a two-party system into the American process of governance–
What happens when neither party fields a compelling slate of candidates?
And while it might be desirable to restrict the final contenders to one of two parties, who on earth ever allowed Democrats and Republicans to decree (and subsequently legislate) that they would automatically be the parties?
To a motorcyclist, visibility suffers indignity quite well.
Any variation of “Look at that fool!” trumps any equivalent version of “What did we just hit?”
Don’t.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident”, sure, but you’ll notice they wrote them down anyway.
My, it was certainly wonderful to take in hours and hours of exaggerated rivalry theories, broken and questionable sports analogies, repeated redundant commercial noise,irrelevant sideline “insights”, and fancy computer-generated eye-candy on Game Day yesterday.
The actual football game also made for an interesting sidelight.
