What A Pithy

I've been casually reading this "subversive" (because it's like an anti-Doonsbury or however you spell it) comic that Cassandra has linked on her Villanous Company blog. It's called Day by Day. It's occasionally moderately entertaining. Mostly it's echo chamber stuff, nothing overly original, though sometimes they manage a twist.

So I was a little shocked today to see them really whack the nail right on the round part. Conservatives told America that President Teleprompter would get eaten up internationally like Kennedy. America didn't listen. One of the strip's characters nails the clueless Teleprompted One (who can't fill a cabinet in two months but can spent trillions in the blink of an eye):

Sigh. We're lectured on currency by the Chinese, on socialism by Russians, and trade by Mexicans.

We told you so.
