My rant about Bruce Tinsley
For those you that don't read the comics in your local paper, there is one called "Mallard Fillmore" in which a duck gets on a conservative soap box. It is rarely funny and always racy. Up until now I as able to respect his opinions as a cartoonist and conservative as he seemed somewhat intelligent.


Unfortunately that assumption was crushed today by his comic strip (printed Saturday Feb 26th). In it he explains (jokingly of course?!!) that "This just in... New anthropological data suggest that women's body-fat ratio, and larger hip and buttocks... may be a result of nature's design, to enable them... to sit for interminable periods watching the academy awards..."

This is neither funny nor insightful, neither conservative or liberal, it is just plain ignorant. Is it safe to assume that men are able to sit hours on end to watch the super bowl or any other sporting event which has just as much social redeeming value as an awards show? I mean if we are making generalizations about a gender then lets go all out shall we?

Tinsley yet again proves why some liberals generalize about conservatives and consider them ignorant or sexist. Congratulations on destroying any possible shred of respect I had before, you are no longer an intelligent conservative in my eyes, you are just another idiot with a soapbox.
