'Turd Blossom' Reality Not Acceptable
"Given that I'm writing for a general audience, I try not to use crude or vulgar language gratuitously," replied Trudeau, after E&P e-mailed him several questions this afternoon. "But in this case, I felt that [President] Bush's nickname for Rove was illuminating. 'Turd blossom' has so many connotations,
none of them flattering. It's a small masterpiece of nastiness."
Comic strip can be seen here.
Check out the article. I agree with Trudeau’s view that if a paper wants to drop the comic strip for what they consider inappropriate material, fine.
But altering the strip and representing it as what Trudeau sent is unacceptable.

Other unimportant news; The Pepper Farm keeps bouncing between Flappy Bird and Adorable Rodent in the TTLB Ecosystem. Growing up as a little swamp boy naturalist and pursuing a minor in biology, I find it rather amusing.

You're already an adorable rodent?! I seem to be stuck at slithering reptile.
Anyhoo, I find it amusing that the "Turd Blossom" nickname thing is deemed inappropriate by the papers. It's a term used by our fine upstanding, honest Christian Preznit, after all! Geez, I get the feeling that if most Bush voters actually DID have that "beer with the president" that is so often discussed, they'd find him to be a capricious, patrician, hyperactive little twit, a completely different character than the "steadfast cowboy" they have constructed in their minds.
I'm only a Rodent because of the Big Brass Alliance. You should join Vestal, I mentioned it in one of your posts about that guy in your hood with the plastic balls he has on his truck.
And yeah, having a brew with the preznit might just make their heads explode, BUT, maybe not!
What constitutes membership to the BBB? Do I have to sign over a firstborn or sell Amway or something?
Vestal,
Just head on over to the BBA via any blog that displays the logo, which I am currently attempting to get back on my Farm here.
Shakespeare's Sister is a good place to start. All you have to do is provide an email for confirmation and wham, you'll go from slithering reptile to Tyrannosaurus rex!
BBB is cool - you also get action updates in just the right amount, maybe once a week for really big stuff. I also learned a lot about Haiti that I didn't know.
I think it's funny that people imagine drinking with the George II. Isn't he supposed to be a teetotaler?
Is being a teetotaler an after effect of being an alcholic? Binge drinker?
I am sorry, but the scenario of the President of the United States using language more appropriate for a grade school playground makes me very nervous. He's supposed to be the most important man on the planet. It dovetails into his bragging that he was only a "C" student at Yale. How in the name of Alaric did he get into Harvard? And, of course, however did he become the President. I realize money is powreful. But THAT powerful.
Sorry, it just goes from bad to worse.
