- I apologize for naming all of these posts after a Peter Gabriel song. I hate Peter Gabriel, but "Here Comes the Flood" is possibly the only song of his that I like.
- It is also a really, really depressing song, which is part of the reason I haven't posted much since the Texas and Ohio primaries. I got pretty angry about the results and the resulting avalanche of bullshit from the Clinton campaign that I decided to step back from everything a little bit.
- I've also been bracing myself and praying for the end of the Chicago winter, which is really just a mental strain after a while, and waiting for a break in the meteorological malaise to sink myself into reading 250 articles a day on what's screwed up with America again.
- Today, as you saw earlier, is not a break in said weather. However, within two minutes of waking up this morning, I was notified that Bill Richardson has publicly endorsed Barack Obama, which put me in a spectacular mood.
- In honor of my good mood, I will give you the gift of levity:
- A cartoon in which Andrew W.K. sings a song about The McLaughlin Group.
- A man is now pregnant with his own child.
- In Macedonia, a bear has been convicted of a crime. Stephen Colbert would be proud.
- Someone sets the lyrics of Pulp's "Common People" down on Archie comics.
- John Arbuckle and I have the same problem with dancing, apparently. Garfield Minus Garfield may have been the best comic strip ever, if it wasn't for . . .
- Achewood. Achewood has been doing more than its share of keeping me in a good mood since the Ohio debacle. Since this is primarily a political blog, I will share with you a politically related strip. Here is Roast Beef (the cat) explaining to Philippe (the otter, who is running for president) why their friend Todd (a drug-addled squirrel) can't be his running mate.
Have a good weekend everybody!
