South DaCola Flashback
I will be on hiatus for awhile, so I did some pre-posting for you of some of my past toons. There will also be posts by my other contributors while I take this break.
South Dacola music club w/ The Reverend Horton Heat
Â
The Rev’s best album – Liquor in the Front (above), even though I do like their first one too, Smoke ’em if you got ’em (Eat steak, Eat steak, eat a big old steer, eat steak, eat steak, til yah have one beer). It’s been a few year’s since I have seen them, and I think the last time was at The Knights of Columbus when they played a double-bill with Los Straightjackets.

Bob calls it quits to politics?
Bob at Politics and Hypocrisy says he has had it with political blogging;
Well after over 2 years of blogging on politics I have come to the realization that my heart is no longer in it. I thought that writing about the hypocrisy displayed by our elected officials would somehow be therapeutic when in fact it had the opposite effect. Reading the hate, the lies, and the spin that both parties try to pass off as policy has finally turned me off to the process altogether.
Bob still has his other blog though – so that’s good. I have always enjoyed Bob’s writings.
This is too bad, but I do share his sentiment, sometimes. Which brings up a conversation I had with fellow contributor Johnny Roastbeef lastnight. After the November 4th election you will see some changes on SouthDaCola, some of it has already started with additions of music and art. You will see more pop culture on SouthDacola, but you will also get a good dose of politics and cartoons. If Obama becomes president, I guarantee I will have more cartoon ideas then I know what to do with, not to mention the South Dakota legislative session is coming up, always a great breeding ground of satire, just with what Gene Abdallah says alone.
So stay tuned – things are going to get funnier, I hope.
Humane Society endorses Obama
Â
Could they found an uglier dog?
And Pastor(?) DooHickey over at VoicesCrazy is up in arms. First off, Stevie, the Humane society is an organization that helps animals – not people. It has nothing to do with Planned Parenthood or Abortion. Secondly, unlike the crazies you run with, the Humane Society believes in birth control (they spay and neuter pets before they can be adopted) – ironically the best way to stop unwanted babies (puppies, kitties, etc.) is by not getting pregnant to begin with. What a concept? Huh? And lastly, someone who is anti-war is VERY MUCH, pro-life. (remember over 100,000 innocent (grown/born) children have been killed (or more) since the war in Iraq has begun. Something your candidate, John McCain, refuses to talk about.
