Those damned forms

What's Mallard raving about today?

V.A. Hospitals.

Mallard hates the V.A. Big surprise. I refer you to yesterday's comments, which cover today as well.

That damned V.A.

What's Mallard raving about today?

V.A. Hospitals.

Free market competition is the answer, right? So why is your Dad partaking of a socialist system rather than using his own money to buy the best health care affordable?

That damned speech balloon

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama.

Allow me to break this down:

1. President Obama says something (Straw Man argument, but let that go for now)
2. President Obama stands still.
3. President Obama walks somewhere.
4. President Obama grabs the speech bubble from the first panel.

Can anyone here spot the flaw? Because Mallard missed it. And so did his editors...oh, wait, what am I saying?

That damned Uncle Sam

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama.

All I can say is that if we pull out of this recession in 1-2 years, I hope Mallard ascribes credit to President Obama commensurate with the aspersions he's casting less than 2 months after he took office.

All of which is to say, constant complaining without any alternate suggestions is as useful as...well, it's simply not useful at all.

That damned left hand

What's Mallard raving about today?

The Stimulus Package

What is the right hand busy doing?

Never mind, I don't want to know.

That damned fear

What's Mallard raving about today?

Fear. President Obama.

Oh. My. God.

Eight years of President Bush & Vice President Cheney without a peep about fear-mongering.

Less than 2 months into President Obama's term, with two wars and a global Recession of massive proportion, both of which were inherited from President Bush, and now Mallard goes to the "fear itself" gag?

What color is the sky where you live, Mallard?

Those damned superstores

What's Mallard raving about today?

Superstore employees.

Why does Mallard hate the free market, and the superstores it created, so much?

That damned Era

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Obama, The Stimulus Package.

Yep, it would be really wasteful to, you know, help the economy recover and all that.

That damned money

What's Mallard raving about today?

President Bush, Democrats.

We have some pretty definitive proof that President Bush had no idea what he was doing, in the form of his results.

I know it's a lot to ask when you want the President to fail, but I think it's reasonable to wait to see the results before passing judgment.

Of course, that's a rational approach. Which is completely antithetical to the Republican Party.

That damned eMail

What's Mallard raving about today?

Federal Employees, Conservative Journalists.

I know. Those Liberal journalists at Fox, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Times just piss me off so much!

Those damned Fat Cats

What's Mallard raving about today?

Congress.

I've no idea what this means, other than to express Mallard's disdain for Congress, a fact which is already abundantly in evidence.

That damned future

What's Mallard raving about today?

Stimulus, The Media.

Yeah, right.

I am not going to be lectured to by those who mortgaged their credibility on the deficit by cheer-leading as the Bush Administration run up the deficit in unprecedented fashion.

That damned word

What's Mallard raving about today?

Government, Stimulus.

I don't actually understand what this is supposed to mean. I also don't know what organization Mallard believe is large enough to start a recovery.

I do know that I never want to see the word stimulated, or any of its variations, appear in Mallard Fillmore again. OK?

Apparently, while everyone else in America is cutting back on expenses and fearing for their jobs, Mallard is finally moving to HDTV.

Make of that what you will.
