Outstandingly offensive? Was it as bad as the Outland strip that the Commie-cal didn't even run? I love this strip.

Scroll down to the picture of the girl with "W" hair. Right click on her picture. Look at the file name.
You can no longer point to the pic and get shooting...you now get 'hairdo.'
That was my first thought when I saw it. Then I thought it could mean anything (They'll say) like "shooting pictures," or, "Hair shooting upward."
Well, that's a question for the Chronicle, no?
Afterall, I don't want to assume anything.
I found two listings for "Long" in Rochester MN, but it's too late to contact tonite, so I'll call on my lunch tomorrow.
Now you need to register to get into the "chronic".
How typical!
I apreciate the offer but once I got my fix, I'd just end up having to cancel someone else's subscription in a couple of days. Got that monkey off my back about eight years ago.

I went back and right clicked on the picture again and it would seem that they have indeed "fixed" the problem.
LMAO...
As well, yes, apparently they've altered the file name.
I don't even own any pajamas but it works for me.
Nah, the Chronicle will give him a promotion. They've done this sort of thing before. About two years ago we discovered a secret internal memorandum to all their reporters that they accidentally posted on their website for a few moments. It outlined a year-long campaign to use their news coverage for pushing a light rail bond referendum in Houston. Part of the plan was a smear campaign against Tom DeLay for opposing the referendum. They issued a tiny retraction a couple days later and plowed right ahead with the smear campaign as if nothing had happened. The New York Times may be the slickest newspaper in the country, but the Chronicle is the trashiest.
Sometimes it pays to not worry about it. This would have been one of those times.
Well done, Tim. (and others!)
The Chron has taken the picture down at the address cited here. They are transparent in their bias, but then again, aren't they all? So it serves a valuable purpose that you have archived and demonstrated their bias.
What they don't understand is that the public KNOWS that Rather's forged memos, Blair's phony interviews, LeDuff's word-for-word copied Page One story (he's still at NYT), Tom Hays's phony boos in a story he didn't even report, etc., etc., etc., are not exceptions but are the USUAL way these liars work.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
That one just plain RULES!
Nah the guy violated the one big rule, as Al Pacino put it in "The Recruit", "Rule Number 1 - Do Not Get Caught".
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that thought that strip was the best ever.
For years it was on my refrigerator door, much to the chagrin of my wife at the time. She hated it.
I still have the strip, but not the wife ;)
I drove down to the paper's headquarters to get a copy of it when they didn't run it. I had to have my Bloom County fix. Now that I think about it, it was the long dead Houston Post, not the Commie-cal that carried the strip.
Trust me - getting caught is celebrated at the Chronicle. They give you promotions for it. That's just how bad of a newspaper they are. They could have a Jayson Blair scandal pop up and they'd promote him to bureau chief. The entire paper wallows in mediocrity and sloppiness.
Wow! That's an amazing list! Great resource, thanks :-)
