It’s highly alarming indeed.

They need to put their long pants on and wash the mud out of their eyes.

Tampon Bay Times is the same rag that makes the “truth-o-meter’, correct?

That tells you everything you need to know about them, their f—king meter, and their courage.

Henry B Plant Museum at the University of Tampa, built in 1891 by railroad magnate Henry B. Plant, it is part of the National Registry of Buildings.

If you’re railroad magnate Henry Bradley Plant, in the midst of the sand swamps that would be Tampa, you construct the most astonishingly magnificent hotel of its day, then fill it with treasures from around the world.

With its splendid Moorish architecture, opulent furnishings, and spectacular tropical gardens, Plant’s Tampa Bay Hotel attracted a host of celebrated guests, from Teddy Roosevelt to Sarah Bernhardt to Babe Ruth. "

To #1. Come on and say it, “BALLS”, not “you-know-whats”. We’re still free despite the Islamic jihadist lunatics who run wild in our streets and get elected to Congress.

Tom Brady has “you know whats”, somewhat deflated according to rumor, but hey, at least he’s got what Obama and Kerry don’t.

To whoever said that “lasagna is porn”. Only if it is worn by a totally nude Lady Gaga (in that pose, aka Lady Gag-Me).

PS: Garfield’s real name is “Garfinkle” but in order to get published in liberal papers, he had to change it to something less ethnic. His full name was Garfinkle Katz, know just “Garfield the Cat”.

Say it isn’t so, “Hyman Kaplan”. You older guys will know who and what I’m referring to. For you kids, look up the book “The Education of Hyman Kaplan”. One great humorous story about European immigrants trying to assimilate into early 20th century America.

We are still a great country despite Hillary, Obie, Bit-Me, Pelosi, Harry the Beaten Face Reid, and much of the Demoncratic Party.

Hark! I hear bootsteps on the steps and a knock in the night.

CLICK!!

Muslims hate pork, among other things.

Not so much the mud out of their eyes but the fear out of their hearts.

I wonder if they will dare to bring up the subject of Islam at the presidential debates or will they kick the can down the road some more?

why is Jon smiling? why does he call Mohammed “the Prophet?”

I’m glad Jim Davis has enough guts to mock Mohammed and that some newspapers have enough guts to print the strip but it’s first grade humor and I wish he’d done it better, and without that creepy smile.

It’s detourned—someone taking something and changing what’s said, etc. Someone took some Doonesbury comics and changed the word balloons to make fun of moonbat liberals

Other detournment:
—an altered Kentucky Fried Chicken logo to look like
John F Kennedy: JFKFC

—video of Peanuts specials with dialogue from Blue Velvet. Snoopy blows the foam off a root beer but we hear Dennis Hopper say “Pabst Blue Ribbon!” Snoopy pounding on a counter but we hear Dennis say, “Nothing I hate more than warm beer, makes me want to f-—ing puke!”

—Archie and his teen friends dancing to Sugar Sugar
but the Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen” plays instead. Like Archie Andrews, Johnny Rotten has red hair.

—video of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day but the dialogue is from Apolcalypse Now. (mostly... “Oh bother”)

Anyway it’s detournment, a form of satire.

It isn’t Jim Davis.
Someone put differernt dialogue in...detournement. Someone also took some Jim Davis strips and removed Jon, or was it removed Garfield, to make humor.

This would be like someone taking footage of Obama and replacing it with an Obama impersonator saying things you KNOW he would never say.

An example of detournement using Doonesbury. Protected by the first amendment under parody. MAD magazine used to get in trouble for some parodies but later court decisions rescued them

I dont think the people who write the more often than not inane questions to be debated, will bring it up, but If Ted Cruz is the Republican Candidate I’d bet on his inserting the Islamic Terrorist Threat into a debate, somehow or another.
