In early September there was a version of Dilbert that showed a porpoise taking out a shark lawyer. It turns out that there were two versions and Scott Adams notes:

Several people sent comments to my blog yesterday saying they noticed that my comic on 9-6-05 that featured a porpoise killing a lawyer was published in two different versions. The tame version ran in newspapers and the edgier one ran on my website. What’s up with that, they wonder.

Well, the second one is certainly a bit edgier. Read the full story.

Modernizing Conservatism

David Brooks touts bush as a saviour (original behind the NYT curtain) as noted by the Boston Globe:

Assaying the right-of-center crackup, David Brooks, The New York Times’s thoughtful conservative columnist, has praised Bush for modernizing conservatism and making the GOP the party of the middle class.

bush, of course, is the guy who should have given this statement in response to the libby indictments. How many of you, though, expected anything more than what you got…samo, samo for the last 5 years? It’s nice to know, Brooksie, that this is the shining figurehead of the future of conservatism as now we also know that the g w bush brand won’t be on the map for long.
