So close... yet so far away...

Is that Pat or Beef playing Cheney? Because I could really see Pat as the CEO of Halliburton.

Yeah pretty sure it's pat

No way, it's Roast Beef

a) The achewood theatre consists of T and Beef.

b) Pat is too much of an asshole to play along with T's ridiculous sketch.

c)He just looks more like Beef, of course that's just my perception of things.

And yeah, third panel is all true.

In 1986, Cheney, along with 145 Republicans and 31 Democrats, voted against a nonbinding Congressional resolution calling on the South African government to release Nelson Mandela from prison, after the majority Democrats defeated proposed amendments to the language that would have required Mandela to renounce violence sponsored by the ANC and requiring the ANC to oust the Communist faction from leadership.

Wow.
"It's great to learn! 'Cuz knowledge is power!"

And KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE.

(Incidentally, I believe the other half is 'violence'.)

Violence that fails to result in injuries that is.

You commented on this 10 months late, and didn't say anything about the avatar text synergy? Shame.

G.I. JOOOEEEE!!!

HELP COMPUTER

Don't forget your saaaandwiches...that I maaade you...saaaandwiches...

KNOWLEDGE BRINGS FEAR

(Inscription on the gate of Mars University in Futurama)

What else did that particular resolution include?

seconded.

Free Nelson Rockefeller!! Attica! Attica! Attica!

[b]BOO TO THAT![/]b

dang it.
BOO TO THAT!

is what I meant

wow, somehow my brain totally wanted that to say " BOOT THAT UP ". I wish I knew why.

It looks like the ice cream man.

They probably dragged him from his shop and sat him in a chair, waiting for him to fall asleep. Then they dressed him in Cheney clothes and did the scene very quietly before dragging him back to the shoppe.

No way, Ray's an american curl, look at the ears

no roomba?

Exactly.

They are not sponsoring. The deal must have fallen through.

Cheney blocked the deal last-minute.

This strip made me hate Dick Cheney, even if he does shoot lawyers. I am very impressionable. And English.

Onstad pegged the permanent Cheney scowl.

Looks more like RB's napping.

Exactly-- Onstad pegged the permanent Cheney scowl.

I think I read somewhere that the things T mentions in the third frame were actual things that Cheney has voted against.

now what good would that do you m'lord what with your bum foot and all

Cheney's heart stopped momentarily between panel three and five.

Then his undying anger towards progress revived him in the last panel.

Anyone who's tried to manually assemble the pins for a USB front panel connection would also vote against it. Damn these giant sasauge hands.

Teodor is most assuredly dashing enough to be Edwards.

'dashing' is not so much my first impression of Edwards.
'Oh dogg is it time to buy a car again' would be closer to the mark.

ahh. cheney did vote against those things.

to be fair those phones are pretty swell

"...By means of a curly wire."
Hah!

The wire must be curly as God intended, not straightened by heathen scientists.

I would vote yes on that last bill. I used to think I'd get over it, but it is becoming apparent to me that I will forever be distrustful of cell phones and their users. I am old before my time.

how do you feel about cordless house phones?

They can do whatever they want behind closed doors as long as they're not trying to recruit my kids.

mighty white of you.

I really like what is going on in this here thread. Yes I do.

I have strong positive feelings towards telephones with the curly wires.

Pat: Chinese people are keeping secrets from us.
Philippe: Gross!
Molly: Moving = not so easy
Onstad: I cleaned the area to the left of my desk
Nice Pete: Chapter 8

(It's just Lee Kum Kee and cornstarch, Pat. Also: the boyfriend tells of a restaurant he went to where the Secret Chinese-Only Menu was actually painted on the wall, appearing to English-speaking patrons as a mere "pretty Chinese characters" type of decoration. Wily!)

What an awesome place for a secret menu!

That is wily! I'm going to take my Chinese friend with me whenever I to to a Chinese restaurant now and have her be on the lookout.

man, voting against nets for public school basketball hoops is just plain wrong

He finds the fwhoosh! sound to be homo-suggestive.

Excerpt from the actual Cheney-Edwards debate, which was broadcast the night before this strip ran:

JOHN EDWARDS: When he was one of 435 members of the United States House, he was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors. He voted against the Department of Education. He voted against funding for Meals on Wheels for seniors. He voted against a holiday for Martin Luther King. He voted against a resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela in South Africa. It's amazing to hear him criticizing either my record or John Kerry's.

MODERATOR: Thirty seconds.

DICK CHENEY: Oh, I think his record speaks for itself and, frankly, it's not very distinguished.

MODERATOR: In that case, we'll move on to domestic matters...

That freaks me out. Thank God he's leaving.

Ironically enough, he did NOT vote for a bill saying it was okay to shoot people in the face...

He just did it anyway.

if theres no rule, then its ok.
