Laughing Out Loud Through My Tears

2. But I totally *do* have a shot with Gwyneth.

Maybe not Ms. Paltrow, but somewhere in this huge world there surely must be at least one woman named Gwyneth who would be into me.

[reformist2]

4. The irrational part is *wanting* a shot with Gwyneth!

[B2G]

5. +1000

Lol. What an insufferable pretentious bitch she is.

[dawg]

7. She gets a lot of hate, doesn't she?

I always assume, with celebrities, that they are in such a fishbowl that we never really have a clue as to what they are really like as people unless we get to meet them in person and interact with them for an extended period of time.

[B2G]

9. Try reading her blog sometime

If that's what she's like in 'real life', I'll pass.

12. I disagree with the sport superstition.

I disagree with the sport superstition. These things are a fun way to feel like you are part of the team. I assume 99% of the people who grow playoff beards, for instance, know that have no effect on the actual games being played.

13. 'Much mystery, so confuse, wow'

[DirkGently]

14. Much Mystery * So Confuse * Wow

... and that's the part not even slightly facetiously exaggerated.

[KansDem]

15. And while all this horseshit is allowed to fester...

We are still being robbed by the oligarchs: our jobs outsourced, our environment vandalized, our wealth stolen.

The rulers will use their media to highlight an asinine remark from one of their stooges (you know, a Palin, Robertson, Cruz, Bachmann, and the like), then their media will "debate" this remark for a couple of days, then they'll have another stooge say something stupid and the process is repeated, over and over, all the while the rulers continue to steal from the 99%.

24. Nailed IT!

[font size=4]Bread & Circuses [/font]

....only lately, they have cut back on The Bread,
what with The Sequester and all.

However, the Circuses are getting better.
I especially like the Clown Car over at FOX.

...and the RICH just keep getting Richer
as we enter into a new and improved, Privatized Gilded AGE 2.0.

[tex-wyo-dem]

34. Absolutely nailed it!

[geardaddy]

17. We are at Idiocracy.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. Ok, I had not considered the possibility of gremlins for the missing plane

Keep this away from CNN, or they will seriously report on it.

[LadyHawkAZ]

26. One of those phony passports

was actually William Shatner. The gubmint hushed it up.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. The plot thickens

[LadyHawkAZ]

29. Seriously, I'm half expecting this conversation to be reported on CNN tomorrow n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. As BREAKING NEWS no less

[mountain grammy]

22. K & R for the "facade of rationality"

[thucythucy]

23. He forgot his asterisk in the last panel.

Usually he puts an asterisk (*) next to the quotes, with a little footnote that says "actual quote."

Tom Tomorrow is always a delight. Thanks for posting.

[Enthusiast]

25. So confuse.

[bvar22]

27. The sad part is that these are absolutely TRUE, especially the last panel.

These were actual elements of our Mainstream News Reorts on the 24/7 Cable Channels. I'm thinking this was on FOX, but could have happened on MSNBC Morning Joe.

[Beartracks]

31. "So confuse" LOL n/t

[WillyT]

32. HUGE K & R !!!

[RainDog]

33. k&r n/t
