yellojktI don’t want to step on any toes, but here are some politically tinged comic strips which made me chuckle this week. Doonesbury ran with this concept all week, which kept getting funnier and funnier:
Given the lead time of newspaper comic strips, this one was rather presciently timed to coincide with the Komen Kerfuffle:
Candorville 2-10-2012
And that Mitt Romney is one handsome devil:
Cafe Con Leche 2/10/2012
Finally, this one in particular seems to sum up what is wrong with the internet:
On The Fastrack 2/6/2012
See you in the funny papers.

There was an amusing later one in that Fast Track series (I read it daily). The two blogospheres developed rings of pundits.

Wow–just saw this news: Whitney Houston died today. Another fabulous talent taken too early by addictions. . .

Michigoose, this was a different story than most of the others in that we watched the talent and the personality erode sharply for fifteen years. We watched her disintegrate in public. We wrote her off as “lost” ten years ago. The voice was gone. The personality was erratic and her “presence” had disintegrated.
I should add that I was never a fan. For me she was an over-the-top diva flexing her vocals, with no style. She once had a really good voice; I agree. I am saddened by the public self destruction of her life, but I am surprised she lived as long as she did. Coke tends to weaken the heart.
I am sure her family tried desperately to intervene. My sympathy goes to them.

I have about a four degree Kevin Bacon number to Whitney Houston. My wife worked at Six Flags Over Georgia in the mid-80s and they regularly had ‘free’ concerts featuring artists either on the way up or on the way down.
Whitney Houston was scheduled to perform and Six Flags sent an employee to the airport in a company sedan to pick her up. Word got around the park that Whitney threw an absolutely incredible diva-fit that she was not sent a limo. And this was long before she was a household name.
Which raises the question, is divahood nature or nurture?

New off-topic question.
The Greek-American community has been called the most financially successful of America’s melting pot communities. Has there been an outpouring of funding at the personal level from Greek-Americans and Greek-Canadians in aid of Greece?
I can tell you that we have those numbers for Mexico, and we used to have those numbers for Israel and Ireland and Italy. We know that Indian-Americans support India. I found this:

but nothing even approaching a serious analysis.
