Everything Counts In Large Amounts
TODAY'S STRIP
To begin, I would like to take a moment, as CJo did yesterday, to welcome Toby to the Shrubville if we are lucky enough to count him among our readers. And if he happens to be former baseball great Toby Harrah, the man with the palindromic name and the unique feat of playing a doubleheader at shortstop without a single fielding chance, so much the better.
At this time, which is not-so-coincidentally at present, I would like to take a moment to review and comment upon today's comic strip, this being the reason for which Shrubville exists. Eminent domain. Eminent. Domain. Take a sniff. Swirl it around on your tongue. Gurgle. Spit. Rancid taste, yes? The travesty of the liberal Supreme [sic] Court - nine persons, or in this case a mere five - striking down upon the American Experience with a mighty gavel of injustice. Every Johnny working at a Burger King in order to make mortgage payments on his bungalow and be an active participant in this, our great ownership society, has been dragged over the coals by this near-communisitic land grab ruling. If only the liberal-effete could lower their pinky fingers while enjoying their $100 bottles of wine, they might be able to see clearly how ridiculous this decision is. Then again, until somebody threatens to knock down their ivory tower, don't expect them to worry too much over it.
However, much like their peerless leader John Kerry (I'm not saying that his followers are losers like him, but if you want to draw that conclusion - I still believe in your Constitutional rights) there's one thing they forgot - they forgot Poland, or more accurately Poletown. Liberal courts, check. Free reign to Eminent Domain abuse, check. Realizing it's a mistake...well, let's hope it doesn't take 20 years this time.
