Bloom County's Tribute to Harper Lee:



I always thought Boo was the conscience of her story.
Harper Lee wrote Berkley Breathed to complain about his ending the strip. They became penpals.

To the mooks who vote for Trump:

You have ZERO idea what he really believes. He mirrors what you want to hear and can change with the audience. That's why you like him. He validates you.

You say he is not beholden to anyone because he has his own money. I'll leave aside how he got his money and how much he really has. Do you geniuses not realize he isn't beholden to you either? He might take a flier and support Planned Parenthood or appoint an Al Sharpton to some position. Then what?

Don't think you can threaten to not vote or him again. He has great confidence in himself. He will believe that at the next election he can once again con you into voting or him. He probably can.

He is the ultimate con. You are the ultimate marks.

When Harper Lee received an honorary degree from Notre Dame, the graduates

My 2nd report on the South Carolina Primaries:

Marco said Nikki Haley was more than qualified to be vice-president. This raised the question if he was old enough to drink 'shine' and where he got it.

W was around the state campaigning for Jeb. I'm afraid what he said was lost amid the speculation about what the hell happened to his hair.

Trump was busy threatening to sue Cruz for lying and demanding that the RNC rein him in. That sound you hear is a brazillion South Carolinians laughing.

I have no idea where Carson is. Probably sleeping if his debate performances are any indication.

Kasich is busy pretending to be moderate. He's sort of pulling that off when he is compared to the competition. Strom Thurmond would look positively statesmanlike compared to that bunch.

Everything is ramping up and mud is being stored for the coming attacks. The primary is Saturday so it should reach DEFCON ONE soon. Maybe that wasn't rain I heard threatening to blast through my window.

Some news organization said "South Carolina's beloved governor". That prompted many to ask what happened to Nikki Haley.

Reporting from the eye of the mudstorm.

Edit to add: I forgot Cruz. How could I forget Cruz? He is just slithering around the state like our usual visitors. He blends in.

WOOOOO!!! Sounds like the rain is gonna blast straight through the window.

The cats ran when it started. A line of thunderstorms is moving over us.

The primaries will now get nastier.

Much mud will be flung.
Appointing to SCOTUS has been an abstract. There is no guarantee.
Now it's REAL.

Of all the people I wish were here to watch this election,

Molly Ivins is the one I miss most.
She could write a column every day and not cover everything. It would be hystericl.
