If I'd gone on to say, in my earlier comment, that Brucie was leading off a series of OH NOES TEH ISLAMZ R COMIGN strips, I could legitly claim to have "called it" after reading today's strip. As it is, all I can do is speculate as to which will come first, the week's end or the sudden interruption. (And, of course, in the event of the interruption, whether it's caused by research-related dain bramage or by his vestigial editor telling him "If you get sued over this strip, we will hang your [rear end] out to dry.")<br /><br />WV: 23 suctutun, the <i>real</i> end of the Maya calendar.Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-76809784400350786152012-10-02T05:29:06.886-07:002012-10-02T05:29:06.886-07:00Yeah, we propped up the Shah, and that's still...Yeah, we propped up the Shah, and that's still reaping dividends.Kip Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751319031224838771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-77334141212587731512012-10-01T20:17:50.580-07:002012-10-01T20:17:50.580-07:00D Johnston skrev:

A lot of them seem to think that Obama should have propped up Mubarak, though they're vague as to how (send the Marines?).D Johnstonhttp://www.kingdomofsharks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-49811922887938153352012-10-01T08:01:38.594-07:002012-10-01T08:01:38.594-07:00"People are still being murdered by terrorist..."People are still being murdered by terrorists for political reasons...
