Is that the comic strip with the penguin? I hope you know what I'm talking about b/c I can't remember the penguin's name.

I really like the guy who does the strips . . . he's a vegetarian and environmental activist . . . I'm sure the liberal content of the strip reflects his beliefs!

As for Colin Powell, I really feel bad for him. I had a lot of respect for him and thought he was a man of great integrity until the day he spoke at the UN. I think it was smart of him to leave before Bush's second term . . . maybe he'll be able to reclaim his reputation by putting some distance between himself and the administration.

Stacey,
Actually The Boondocks is written by a wonderful young black writer named Aaron MacGruder. He is very political and very funny!

The strip you're talking about is by Berkeley Breathed. I think he used to write The Far Side, and now writes Opus (the Penguin you're talking about). I love his stuff.

ITA with you about Colin Powell. I wonder if he had to do it all over again, would he?
