That damned Area

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

No seriously?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

That damned Man-Crush

What's Mallard raving about today?

Paul Ryan

For a guy whose spent a fair amount of time concern-trolling over President Obama and Hillary Clinton, this is a bit weird.

But, I guess Mallard can't hide it when he's in love.

That damned Convention

What's Mallard raving about today?

NBC News

Once again, Mallard Fillmore consists of the main character simply going "tsk tsk" and assuming the reader has an idea what is going on in his addled imagination.

That damned Group

What's Mallard raving about today?

Paul Ryan

Mallard's Man-crush on Paul Ryan leads him to believe Mitt can win without Seniors, Women, and Latinos.

That damned Wisdom

What's Mallard raving about today?

Kids, Teachers

Marvin does a better job of capturing the essence of childhood than Mallard Fillmore, and Marvin does nothing but make poop jokes.

That damned Conservation

What's Mallard raving about today?

Sharks, Teabaggers

Mallard has a serious persecution complex going on...so much for the Party of Personal responsibility. "It's all someone else's fault for being mean to me!"

That damned Song

What's Mallard raving about today?

Hold Music

This highly contentious and celebrated comic strip is complaining about hold music.

That damned Bad Stuff

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama

By "people" I assume Mallard is referring to himself and the guy who was too polite to walk away while he was ranting. Because everyone else stopped talking about this after less than a couple days.

That damned Point

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama

I know this will come as a shock to readers of this blog, but Mallard, it turns out, was completely wrong in predicting that outrage over the Right Wing Lie of the Day would last long enough for him to be relevant by the time it appeared in his strip.

That damned definition

What's Mallard raving about today?

Progressives

Since President Nixon, Conservatives have been braying a non-stop chorus of Media victimhood. So, kind of ironic this sudden concern trolling.

That damned Publicity

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama, Fox

To start, President Obama has to be aware of your existence, and due to your complete lack of relevance and talent...you are out of luck.

That damned Rate

What's Mallard raving about today?

Entitlements

Don't worry, Mallard.

Conservatives are hard at work insuring that the poor no longer have a right to vote.

That damned Start

What's Mallard raving about today?

Entitlements

Interesting. Entitlements before the advent of the Great Society were lower than during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. That is really meaningful stuff there, Mallard.

Apparently today is "Cherry Pick Statistics to Make a Pre-Determined Point Day."

In 1962 the Top Marginal tax rate was 91% and GDP growth was 8%. In 2009 the Top Marginal tax rate was 35% and GDP growth was -1%. So obviously...

That damned Evidence

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama

Dear Mallard,

Given that you wrote that letter to yourself, I would think you'd understand the question was not about the shelf-life of sentiment, but the fact that this line of attack has been proven to be an outright lie. Plus, many of the people starring in Romney's ads on the subject have received substantial Government help, thus proving the President's actual point.

Despite the historical evidence, I tend to underestimate the extent of your mendacity.

Best,

DaveyK

That damned Stuff

What's Mallard raving about today?

Money

Ladies and their stupid stuff, amirite?

In other news, Mallard Fillmore remains mystified by the fact that women can't stand the GOP.

Those damned Wars

What's Mallard raving about today?

War on Poverty, War on Drugs

Mallard, assertion based on Fox Talking Points is not the same as facts.

For example: In the decade following the 1964 introduction of the war on poverty, poverty rates in the U.S. dropped to their lowest level since comprehensive records began in 1958: from 17.3% in the year the Economic Opportunity Act was implemented to 11.1% in 1973. They have remained between 11 and 15.2% ever since.

But what I find most interesting is that an actual war which was factually expensive and an abysmal failure (based on the fact that the WMDs for which we entered it were never found) escapes comment.

Those damned Salaries

What's Mallard raving about today?

Education

Care to compare compensation and outcomes with the leaders of the for-profit education system?

Thursday, August 09, 2012

That damned Expert

What's Mallard raving about today?

Education

Fair enough, so...what's your solution? And what's the basis for believing your solution will work?

Easy to point out things that are sub-optimal, but if you stop there, then all you are is a whiny little ass-hat.

(BTW, Mallard, care to have a conversation about spending per capita versus outcomes about our for-profit healthcare system?)

That damned Count

What's Mallard raving about today?

Education

Right on! Also, de-fund education and fire as many teachers as possible so millionaires can get a tax break!

That damned Drawing

What's Mallard raving about today?

Drawing

I feel much more comfortable now that Mallard has abandoned the half-truth he started with on Monday and is simply going with the complete lie.

To re-phrase this according to what President Obama actually said: We celebrate Jacob's success with that drawing. But he did not personally build the desk, school supplies, or Infrastructure.

Only an idiot would argue that point, which explains why Mallard Fillmore is arguing the point.

Those damned Roads

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama

I'll give Mallard credit where it's due, for completing the quote, unlike the serial liar running for President as a Republican.

Beyond that, however, whatever point he believes his is making is utterly stupid.

Yes, Mallard, taxes paid for the work the Government did building roads. That's how Government works. Do you have some sort of alternative to that you'd like to suggest?

That damned Report

What's Mallard raving about today?

Sodas, Fatty Food

Anyone with a brain or conscience would have pulled this strip, given the fact that it is utterly tone deaf after the shootings in Colorado.

Which explains why Mallard let it run.

That damned Vacation

What's Mallard raving about today?

After several days without Mallard Fillmore, I start to regain my sense of optimism.
