You Can Beat a Dead Horse
The whole Sen. Larry Craig business has nothing to do with morality, justice, the propriety of the law, nor even hypocrisy. Now we can only gape opened mouth at the train wreck Craig's allowed himself to become. Here's one of the fifty most powerful men in the country, making decisions that affect you and me, claiming he entered a guilty plea for something about which he insists he's innocent well after the fact because, he says, he was under duress. Poor baby. The only thing more surreal and, yes, insane delivered up by a politician lately is Pres. Bush telling the Australian Prime Minister we're "kicking butt in Iraq" as if he were talking about a high school football game. 28 American soldiers killed in the past two weeks, another few billion down the drain, a whole country in tatters, an entire region of the world destabilized, Osama bin Laden busy making videotapes, no end in sight, and we're doing what?

John C, this is a terrific cartoon. Supposedly one can go into a men's restroom, and give some kind of signals to someone in the other booth. That does not make much sense to me. In fact, it sounds crazy to me, does not happen in women's restrooms, at least, I have never heard about it. The most I have ever heard in a woman's bathroom is someone cussing because they suddenly discovered there was no toilet paper in the stall holder.
There's a good joke about this. Businessman is in a rush but has to go to the toilet, discovers there's no toilet paper. He asks the guy in the next stall if he has any and the answer is no. Dopes the guy have a newspaper? No. He's desperate, and noticing that the guy has a briefcase asks if he has any spare papers in it. No, everything's important. Brief pause, and then... "any chance you have two fives for a ten?"
