Whoops! You're right, DaveyK! Batshit completely forgot to add, "...and it's all Obama's fault!"

I think he should be more concerned about the two cars behind him, which are about to be involved in a head-on collision.

Look out, Victimized Middle-Aged White Male!

Is that supposed to be a rich guy holding the sign (which conveniently covers his body)? Is BT making fun of the rich? This one is quintessential Mallard: poor drawing and an implied joke that could only be funny to people who agree with BTs politics.

Tog beat me to it. I was going to say, what's the big deal? Just blame the nearest Democrat and go out to lunch with a lobbyist.

Funny thing: the Teaparty Downgrade to AA+ increased demand for US Bonds, as a result of which the interest the Treasury (or We The People) must pay to sell bonds DROPPED. So we're better off.

Maybe we should ask S&P to downgrade us again?

Good thing Tin hasn't gotten to page 4 of the downgrade yet, where the actions of the TP Goppers are specifically mentioned as causes for the action.
