Under the category of “I am not making this up”: Sarah Palin says she used to cross the border to Canada to get health care.
She now considers this “ironic.”
Philly poster update
Okay, so life got a little complicated for me for awhile there, but things are starting to calm down … so hopefully I’ll be able to deal with the signed edition of the Philly posters before too long. (You can see the whole set here.) I have more names on the wait list than I have posters, so those are most likely all spoken for already, but if I do end up with any sets left over I’ll post a note here. In the meantime it looks like they’re starting to sell (unsigned) copies of the posters at pearljam.com (click on North American Tour Posters). The catch is, you have to join the fan club ($20, click on Memberships) to be eligible to purchase them, but if you end up buying the whole set, that’s just an extra five bucks a poster. (I have no financial stake in fan club sales, just posting this for those of you who might be interested.)
Friday edit: Second poster goes on sale at pearljam.com today, next two are up next week.
(Also adding, for TMW fans not familiar with the PJ poster world: these are 18 x 24 silk-screened posters — printing is much more beautiful than standard offset litho.)
New cartoon
Wed. edit: same cartoon on Credo’s site, which has a redesigned and very easy-to-navigate archive of my work.
Tomorrow’s Law
(After Godwin): anyone skeptical of internet triumphalism will inevitably be compared to an old man ranting about the kids on his lawn.
It depends on what the meaning of “and” is
I’m stepping on my own toes a little bit here since this is part of next week’s cartoon, but if you haven’t seen the exchange between the Times’ Public Editor and Brad Friedman, this bit is really quite extraordinary:
Hoyt… [stands] behind it because, as he wrote [emphasis his]: “The story says O’Keefe dressed up as a pimp and trained his hidden camera on Acorn counselors. It does not say he did those two things at the same time.”
I wouldn’t let my six year old kid get away with an excuse that flimsy.
