"Doonesbury" Forecasts Obama Victory

Newspaper editors are considering how to deal with a "Doonesbury" comic strip, scheduled to run the day after the election, which proclaims Barack Obama the winner, the AP reports. Creator Garry Trudeau sent his week's worth of comic strips to newspapers who syndicate his work and the one slated to run on Wednesday features a group of soldiers celebrating an Obama victory.

Trudeau told the AP he would have considered providing an alternate one reflecting a McCain victory but at the time he drew the strip Obama was well ahead and poll analysts were giving McCain less than a 4 percent chance of winning. "From a risk-assessment viewpoint, I felt comfortable with the odds,'' Trudeau told the AP in an e-mail. "The way I see it, if Obama wins, I'm in the flow and commenting on an extraordinary phenomenon. If he loses, there'll be such a national uproar that a blown call in a comic strip won't be much noticed. Besides, I'll be the one with the egg on my face not the editors."

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies take it up with yourself on November 4th while you are still free to do so.

CONT...

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don''t feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free foods stamps and he''ll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can''t pay your mortgage.

If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flatscreen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn''t all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?)!!!

Notice to All Employees

As of November 5, 2008, if President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a fair shake.

2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are too busy for overtime to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as the government. We will not participate in this pooling experience because the law doesn''t apply to us.

4. The government will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard for the good of all.

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it''s
good to spread the wealth. Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more patriotic.

I just lol''d at the puma guy. That movement is no more. People know who to vote for. Obama needs to steer this country back to the right direction.

Gary Trudeau has always been a ultra liberal, far left leaning zealot... and thank God for that! Love your work man. When Obama wins you can start drawing the president again!
