What's Mallard raving about today?
The Media, Charlie Sheen.
And there's Mallard and his crotch, dutifully watching.

That damned Moment
What's Mallard raving about today?
President Obama, Education.
It's high irony for a proud Know-Nothing, a reveler in ignorance, to be criticizing Education or someone trying to improve it.
Of course, Mallard and the Right Wing have proven conclusively they have no sense of shame or irony, so the fact that he is doing just that should come as no surprise.

That damned Grammar
What's Mallard raving about today?
Grammar.
The person who wrote today's word jumble masquerading as some sort of commentary should not, under any circumstance, criticize people's use of the English language.

That damned Pepsi
What's Mallard raving about today?
Pepsi
To summarize...standing next to a taller skinnier can of Pepsi a person will look, comparatively, fatter.
Yeah, Mallard, that really needed to be said.

That damned riot
What's Mallard raving about today?
Riots, The Media.
I'm lost.
Is Mallard, who believes brown skin is justification for strip searches because you might be a terrorist, now castigating the media for a lack of national specificity regarding riots in the Middle East?
Is this some oblique reference to Wisconsin?
Or is this a reference to the Fox Propaganda Network showing video of a rally in California and lying about it being from Wisconsin?

Meta-Post: Golden Ellipses
I have yet to find a source for year-old Mallard Fillmore cartoons to determine nominees or even run our yearly awards. Not sure we'll be able to do this, as a result. If anyone knows where I can find these older strips, please let me know.
Those damned Emails
What's Mallard raving about today?
Doctors, Weather.
I'm sure this has something to do with protests in Wisconsin. But what it has to do with them is beyond me.

That damned Gentleness
What's Mallard raving about today?
Unions, Journalists.
I'd like to thank Mallard in advance. He probably will spend 2 weeks on this train of "thought" (for certain limited definitions of "thought"), which means I don't really have to do any work to maintain this blog for the same period of time.

Those damned signs
What's Mallard raving about today?
Protestors, Violent Rhetoric
Thanks to the power of the Internet, we can look at Mallard's claim. The Wisconsin GOP very helpfully put together a video montage of offensive signs to make much the same point.
So, there you go, some signs comparing Walker to Hitler. One sign (shown twice, presumably because it was the only one they could find) quoting the now infamous "Don't Retreat, Reload" slogan and showing a crosshairs over Governor Walker's face.
Most of the signs, of course, are amazingly tame, comparing him to Hosni Mubarak, with whom Governor Walker shares some actual parallels (such as shutting off Internet access).
One chilling sign says (in comparing Walker and Mubarak) "One Down; One to Go" and shows the terrifying specter of an airplane to take Walker away! Heaven forfend! (Seriously, this is the worst the Republicans could find?)
Now, of course, let's ask what's prominently missing from the video? And that would be anyone of the prominence of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, or Sarah Palin spewing such rhetoric.
The point, Mallard, is that no credible person claimed that not one soul on the Left utilizes violent rhetoric. The fact is that it is not an inherent feature of the Democratic Party's discourse, unlike the Republican Party and their Fox Propaganda network which make use of violent and eliminationist rhetoric virtually every day of the week. And in that lies all the difference.
Shorter version: Mallard Fillmore: swing and a miss!

That damned Call
What's Mallard raving about today?
Phones.
Seriously, a whole Sunday panel devoted to being annoyed about inadvertent phone calls? When is someone going to wake up and realize the only thing Mallard Fillmore offers a counterpoint to is intelligent discourse and stop providing him with space to vent his spleen.

That damned Commercial
What's Mallard raving about today?
Doritos, Michelle Obama
Apparently Mallard didn't like some Doritos commercial.
Unlike the rest of us, however, someone actually paid him to complain about it. Then that complaint got published in newspapers and online.
Seriously, is no one paying attention?

What's Mallard raving about today?
Unemployment, President Obama.
At least President Obama is looking for solutions, rather than saying "so be it" about people losing their jobs.

That damned Budget
What's Mallard Fillmore raving about today?
President Obama, the Budget.
This would be funny except Mallard repeated the same joke every year during the Bush Administration, while the huge deficits were being run up.
What, what do you mean he didn't?

That damned Campaign
What's Mallard raving about today?
President Obama
Two days in and Mallard has tips his hand. See, he's going to contend that President Obama is only good at campaigning and, see, that's why he was re-elected in 2012.
It's going to be a very long 2 years for those of use who subject ourselves to Mallard Fillmore.
