Slip, Slip, Sliding Away

 

A fun part of riding in a saucer sled is that you are unable to control the direction of the sled...Sometimes you are facing forward and at other times you end up spinning down the hill side.

Tomorrow the ride continues

"The big news is the midterm elections. 

Last night Republicans picked up a 

dozen seats in the House to give them

 their biggest majority since World War II.

 Or as they put it, 'Time to party like it's 1939!'" 

–Jimmy Fallon

"Republicans also took control of the Senate

after gaining another seven seats. 

I haven't seen the GOP get this many 

seats since Chris Christie made an airline reservation." 

–Jimmy Fallon

"Republican Scott Brown lost his bid for

 Senate in New Hampshire last night,

 two years after he was voted out as

 Senator in Massachusetts. When asked what

he was planning to do next, he said,

 'Are they still looking for a mayor in Toronto?'" 

–Jimmy Fallon

"The Republican Party had a big day

 in yesterday's midterm elections and

 now controls the House and Senate. 

And don't ask me how this happened, 

 but the Republican Party also gained

 control of three seats in our show's band."

 –Conan O'Brien

It's all down hill from here.

Thus starts the adventure of down hill saucer sledding.

Imagine, if you will, two racoons sledding down hill 

on a steep and bumpy hill side on a saucer sled...

Imagine Calvin and Hobbs in the little red wagon 

or the movie Christmas Vacation, with Chevy Chase, 

you can see how much fun this will be for me to draw.

 Another item that comes to mind is Goofy

 Alpine skiing and that really funny scream 

he makes as he goes off the cliff.  

And yet one more vision comes to mind.  

The episode of Darma & Gregg, during the 

Winter Olympics and the drunk guys 

take a canoe down hill sledding at Lake Tahoe

...backwards.

To be continued.

"I try to be level-headed when you have

 a problem like the Ebola outbreak. 

A couple of years ago there was what

 they call a pandemic. I called my doctor 

and I asked him what to do in the case

 of a pandemic. He said to make sure

 you sterilize your pan." 

–David Letterman

"I want to settle everybody down.

 Let me put this in perspective for you. 

Your chances of catching Ebola

 are the same as the Jets

 chances of making the play-offs."

 –David Letterman

"The White House computers were hacked.

 They stole all of Michelle Obama's 

secret kale recipes." 

–David Letterman

And they lived happy ever after

A man died and went to heaven.

 As he stood in front of St. Peter 

at the Pearly Gates,

 he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. 

He asked, “What are all those clocks?”

St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks,

 Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. 

Every time you lie, the hands on your

clock will move.”

“Oh,” said the man, “Whose clock is that?”
“That’s Billy Graham‘s. The hands have never 

moved, indicating that he never told a lie.”

“Incredible,” said the man, 

“And whose clock is that one?” St. Peter responded, 

“That's Abraham Lincoln‘s clock. The hands have 

moved twice, telling us that Abe

 told only two lies in his entire Life.”

“Where’s Hillary Clinton‘s clock?”

 asked the man.

“Hillary’s clock is in Jesus’ office.

 He’s using it as a ceiling fan.”

Hillary 2016

 

 This is a follow up of yesterday's cartoon

 pertaining to Hillary Clinton's Jobs Pixie.

One of the major issues that some 

 Libertarian leaning conservatives 

have had with the recent presidents is that they

 have been able to pick and choose what area

 of the country and which business's fail 

and those that have lots of money thrown their way.  

If the agenda of a private company 

has to do with anything "Green",  

the federal government will give them

 more money than they can spend. 

If on the other hand a firm has no connections

 with the Federal Government and is not

 involved with some form of  "Green" agenda, 

their is no money for them.  

Or as the Soup Nazi from Jerry Seinfeld would say,

 "No Soup For You!"

Jobs as far as the eye can see.

So many people seem to agree with what 

Hillary Clinton said the other day,  

"Corporations and business do not create jobs." 

 The idea is that without government incentives 

such as tax breaks, business would never add 

new employees or expand...Is this where we

 have gone to regarding free enterprise 

and entrepreneurship?  

The concept of today's little cartoon stems 

from what  I woke up thinking about this morning. 

 What if the government did create "jobs" 

without any thought that a business or corporation

 actually had any need for new employees...

just created the "jobs" so that politicians can say 

they did something for the economy

 when they run for re-election.
