This is how most campaign managers end their day, I'd imagine.

A comment left by catachresis was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by riotdejaneiro, dumase, Axhoola, Doc_Rostov, J-Man, motts)

this is not true. Bust pretends to be a retard from the south. he is as New England pure blood Ivy Leauge as Kerry and Clinton and all the rest. he just saw the need and filled it.

yeah- If he didn't, people might talk about his policies rather than his mannerisms.

Wait, so why can't he be a retard from New England?

A comment left by ferdinand was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by meganasty, king_of_pwns, DougTheHead, sexualhomeboy, dj_douche)

Wrong. Some of us can have political disagreements without constantly arguing or becoming deranged anytime an issue in the neighborhood of politics comes up.

Meh, I'm fairly conservative by many standards but I'd hope that intelligent people all over the political spectrum can agree that pretending to be stupid/incompetent for political gain is much worse than actually being stupid/incompetent.

Reminds me of a Hicks joke: a waffle waitress in the heartland was extemely curious what he was reading "for".

Yeah, you're going to be considered lame for disliking a president with a, what, 20% approval rate?

Done and done. Because if there's anything the internet needs, it's more politics. Yay!!!!

The former places the onus on the people who elected him.
The latter places the onus on the people who elected him.

:p

Heh heh heh. Onus. Heh. Anus.

What's funny about onus oh yeah anus. Heh heh.

George Bush is actually a performance artist, who has come to the end of his 8-year installment, "The 43rd Presidency of the United States"

Clinton is not New England pure blood, at all.

he is a rhodes scholar that attened Yale and Oxford. as well as a member of at least two faturnites that are undoubtly new england based. this is a pretty enormous connetion to the new england ivy leauge culture and soceity that has been the ruling class in the US from the begining of it all. but yes in SOME sense clinton isn't a 'pure blood' whatever that is. lol (the ivy leauge thing is more what I was pointing at not that he was a vanderbuilt)

Georgetown, I believe. Gore went to Vandy.

So . . . being a Rhodes Scholar who went to Yale and Oxford is somehow a bad thing? If that's what we think, we're in bad shape.

God forbid the people running a nation be well educated.

not that he did well in school that he went to an ivy leage school. it's a connection to a culture and way of life most americans have no connection to, or relation to. is all I'm saying. it's not unique to Cliton. all our presidents have been involved in it from what I understand. it's not a critisim it's a observation.

The contrast between the last panel and the rest is awesome.

Do you think Roast Beef is in some way jealous of Philippe's happy-go-lucky nature, even if it means the inevitable ruin of his presidential campaign?

Yes.

HI! <-> YES!

No!

I love how all the characters take Philippes shot at presidency seriously, wheras most adults would consider it a little game if their kids said they were running for president.

Philippe appears to be dressed as an English schoolboy.

I was thinking a McDonalds employee, but that too.

I was thinking a schoolboy, but I am English. How droll!

(note: I don't think schoolboys have actually worn those hats for a good 40 years)

my ex flatmate (went to boarding school) has one of those hats so yeah they're still around

Philipe is so happy that he did not do what Roast Beef asked.

Oh Beef.
You know that it is most certainly not rad to have alcoholism.

You know, I did read this strip whilst listening to "Stars and Stripes Forever" and it really does add a certain ambiance.

Stars and Stripes Forever

"Tuck me in and be my breakfast" works not only on JD, but on any lady-friend worth keeping.

Singing "No opinion" is my stock answer.

Recently I've been ending my days with thoughts similar to Beef's, though the object of my affection is usually gin.

Probably time to think about getting a better job ...

oh man me too. gin is boss when youre a twenty something student struggling to cope with the pressures of life in the inner city.

you might have it easier in north korea. or iran.

You know, a new job won't cure depression.

Philippe has shown me how to react to most unnecessary political debates.

No opinion~~!

It's like looking into the future (I will play the part of Cassandra "Roast Beef" Kazenzakis)

The final panel is by far my favorite Beef quote of all time

It is a thought that transcends Circumstances. Everyone has needed Jackie or Johnny or Jose to do them two favors at some point in their lives.

This is pretty much how I end my day every day.

I love when Onstad suggests background music.

i say that jackie d line all the time. i have a friend who has no social skills, and i always say to him, " so is jackie d tuckin you in tonight?" he still does not know what i mean.

"Jackie D, Tuck me in and be my breakfast" has been added to my list of tattoo-able quotes.

Unfortunately, Beef from the Future- Nov. 2009 forgot all about Jackie Dee when he and Miss Lady had Philippe over for a day or so.
Beef- how could that happen?

a 5 year old, having had no persuasion one way or the other, is most definitely apolitical. his(or her) heart is her compass.

Or his or her mommy and daddy tell him or her that he or she should think this or that way about politics. I have heard bigoted 5 year olds, and they sure didn't get that way on their own.

balls are round. what is up with THAT?

hahaha DUDE I TOTALLY do not even KNOW , what is up with that?????

No! (smiles)

Phillipe is extra retar five-years-old in this strip.

The fact that Phillipe is singing "No opinion!" reminds me so much of Flapjack.
