A cross between a Bull Terrier and a ShitZu masquerading as a President found a Doctor’s white lab coat which had been left out in the sun to dry. He put it on and spoke to his countrymen. All bowed, both men and women, and he was a proud cross between a Bull Terrier and a ShitZu that day. In his delight he lifted up his voice and barked incoherently and then every one knew him for what he really was.

People have been tossed for less.
darwin-t on September 7, 2010 at 12:15 AM
That was a Classic cartoon strip Bloom County..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:16 AM
Uh….is this a joke.
This makes about as much sense as Micheal Moore winning an oscar for 9/11 as a “documentary”.
Tull deserves a lot of credit for being able to rock with a flute….but better Heavy Metal band than Metallica…..I don’t think so.
Metallica is in the same league as Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,and AC/DC…..Tull does not belong there.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:17 AM
The one that park workers belong to?
Cheshire Cat on September 7, 2010 at 12:17 AM
He brought it back as Outland, I believe.
Lanceman on September 7, 2010 at 12:18 AM
I enjoyed his Freudian slip– “Another taxpayer bail out of Washing— Wall Street”.
We know who we’re bailing out, Barack. It’s why we’re voting the way we are in November.
Nethicus on September 7, 2010 at 12:19 AM
You would be correct..But didn’t it start as Bloom County?..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:20 AM
It did.
Lanceman on September 7, 2010 at 12:21 AM
Does anyone know how much longer Obama will be President in dog months?
Cheshire Cat on September 7, 2010 at 12:21 AM
Just went to show the ignorance of the Grammy voters and their knowledge of Heavy Metal..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:21 AM
I have got a big book of Bloom County that I treasure..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:23 AM
I noticed that too..He barely caught it in time..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:25 AM
A friend of mine back in’86 had the exact same book. He loved Opus.
Lanceman on September 7, 2010 at 12:25 AM
Opus ruled..That whole strip was just off the charts funny to me..
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:26 AM
Keep peeing on my leg and telling me it’s raining…. and I’ll call you a dog.
roux on September 7, 2010 at 12:28 AM
I still preferred Bill the Cat.

No, no.
A dog would make a far better president than you do, Barry.

You do have a point..:)

Dream on — Aerosmith
We’ll see what the SEC barfs up this season. I’m betting Penn State will beat Bama.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:33 AM
That was a good example of ingnorance.
This relates well to our Whiner-n-Chief and his
“They talk about me like a dog”.

Thought we lost you there..Oregon Ducks are looking good..I think they play Tennessee (SEC) pretty soon..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:36 AM
First time I heard Enter Sandman it sent chills up my spine.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:37 AM
The Ducks are my only hope for Pac-10 greatness this year! My poor, poor Trojans. Mired in controversy yet again.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:38 AM
Who are the drones behind the Sultan of Flies?
Kini on September 7, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Speaking of Aerosmith..Did you like “Old AeroSmith” or the “New Aerosmith” ?..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Calvin and Hobbs was one of my favorites.
Bought the book set years ago and still get a kick out of the snarky yet insightful musings of this strip.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:39 AM
Totally agree..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:40 AM
I think AP had them ranked BSU 2, VA Tech 10.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:40 AM
damn :) teehee, I think Obama is all weewee’d up, what a jerk. Though, I pretty much call him more than a dog. But I’m a lady, so I’ll just keep it to myself.
nwpammy on September 7, 2010 at 12:41 AM
Union Employees..Do you think anyone would go hear Obie for free?..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:41 AM
Yes, and yes.
I grew up on Toys In The Attic (and assorted Lynryd Skynrd). But the new stuff is great too, even though it’s clearly a woman writing their hits, very talented pop hooks, I just love groups that have longevity.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:42 AM
definitely ground breaking.
Their older cuts were even better:
For whom the bell tolls

What absolute raw energy…..
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:43 AM
Calvin and Hobbes was good..But my favorite was Bloom County..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:43 AM
Bambi, you CAN’T be a leader if you insist on playing the victim.
PackerBronco on September 7, 2010 at 12:47 AM
That song is off the charts. They should call it Testosterone Rock.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:47 AM
Bloom County…If I have this strip right….is this not the one with the crazy cat?????
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:49 AM
Who could forget “Sweet Emotion”..I also thought Pump was a great Album also..
Plus it is my understanding that they made a lot more money on their new stuff..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:49 AM
Yes..that would be Bill the Cat..plus it had a penguin in it too..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:51 AM
Well, here is the link:

Kini on September 7, 2010 at 12:52 AM
Don’t forget Sabbath.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:53 AM
Absolutely…..
You can’t go much harder and faster than Metallica and this:
Super Beast

This is mosh pit soul food.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:55 AM
Black Sabbath started it all.
Kini on September 7, 2010 at 12:55 AM
OK, you jokers, ‘Jethro Tull’ is the whole group, not just Ian Anderson.
Lanceman on September 7, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Their album with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra was awesome also..
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Never…never….never…
Sabbath(Godfathers of Heavy Metal),Zeppelin,Doors,and Floyd
are Classics and stand above.
Like Muddy Waters said….they had a baby and named it
Rock-n-RollHeavy Metal.Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:57 AM
Thanks for da thrash.
In my humble opinion, the birth of metal.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 12:58 AM
Un…f#cking….believable.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 12:59 AM
Un…f#$king….believable.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:00 AM
Have not heard this…will go check it out now and get back to you.
Thanks.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:01 AM
Yup.
But, Now, my metal is more like this.
Kini on September 7, 2010 at 1:03 AM
Album is called S&M..Sorry I left that out..
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:05 AM
Am I the only one who thinks Lita Ford was a Hottie?..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:06 AM
Most excellent Hawaiian bluegrass!
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:07 AM
http://www.metrolyrics.com/stone-free-lyrics-jimi-hendrix.html
ok, here’s the whole song Stone Free…with the line about the dog.
looks like he wants to be free…and not in a plastic cage.
r keller on September 7, 2010 at 1:07 AM
oh, i forgot…i love Hendrix
r keller on September 7, 2010 at 1:08 AM
Wow…love the Beatles and still think the White Album was their best….but have never heard or thought about them being the fore-bearers of Heavy Metal.
…Great line but I am going to have to go with this:
War Pigs:

Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death’s construction
So strong and Classic.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:08 AM
I second that. But just couldn’t stomach her duos with Teh Prince of Darkness.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:09 AM
No she is hot and can play…
…..did she not get her start early on with Joan Jett when they had that blond lead singer(pre-solo Jett)?????
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:10 AM
Very good point..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:11 AM
Going to see if I can find this …Thanks.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:11 AM
I’ll see your classic and raise you with another uber-classic.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:13 AM
She was in a Band with Joan Jett..I think they were called the Runaways..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:14 AM
Beatles just might have begun the change in musical taste.
I can’t remember back that far. Brain cells and all… but I digress… However, when I watch these QOTD vids,I think Black Sabbath was the template for real metal.
Kini on September 7, 2010 at 1:15 AM
I had stopped watching the awards by then…now I’m glad I did. I loved Tull, but Heavy Metal??? Lita is still smoking hot…
lovingmyUSA on September 7, 2010 at 1:16 AM
It is really awesome..I would have never thought you would see Metallica and an Orchestra playing together..
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:16 AM
Don’t get me started on Jimi.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:16 AM
I was watching that on TV..I was stunned..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:20 AM
In the Fairytale, the Beautiful Princess kissed the Ugly Frog and he turned into a Handsome Prince. In real life the voters kissed with their votes what looked to them like a Handsome Prince and now more and more of them are beginning to rub the Pixie Dust from their eyes and are starting to take notice that he has turned out to be an Ugly Frog. Of course, those in the MSM, most spray copious amounts of Pixie Dust into their eyes on an hourly basis so that they don’t see what has happened.
Cheshire Cat on September 7, 2010 at 1:20 AM
Even as a small boy I freaked out at the power of Helter Skelter. A lot of rock scholars point to it as being the birth of metal. But I agree with Kini that Sabbath were the ones who committed to the sound first.

So the Punk Thug is spending more with that “in your face”
finger wagging (Clinton style) stare. Putting on his best
scary tough face. . .Lord, I am soooo sick of this guy.
Buy your vote with Joes money , Buy another with
Joses money. And another with Julies money.
and on and on.
Texyank on September 7, 2010 at 1:22 AM
OHHHH….checkmate….
….can’t tell you how many times we would be hanging out at somebody’s house and somebody always knew how to play this song.
Classic is right.
You probably got me on this one but I am going to try and match you with this:

“I like to dream….right between my sound machine”
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:24 AM
That was great stuff. Poor Lita. She sounds bitter. Film writers often pay $1 for story rights because everything is spec in this business, she should know that and not be offended at a grand.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:29 AM
The Beatles did not sit on their sound and try to ride it out.
They were always evolving and taking chances.
Helter Skelter was chaotic but flowed well.
The whole White Album was such a great combination of folk…rock…and melody from cover to cover.
From Help!….to Sgt. Peppers…all the way to the White album, was an incredible journey with major distinctions between them.
You are right…a very powerful song on a very diverse album.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:32 AM
Exactly…I had stopped watching also.
Now I know why.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:33 AM
Great link. So sad seeing John Denver hosting that, though. What a loss of talent.
The beginning of psychedelic rock. What a jam! I remember that jam vividly as a kid. (Of course, if we were to ignore what Jerry Garcia and his Merry Pranksters were up to at the time!)
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:34 AM
That’s it……
These girls had guts and a little talent.
Not my taste but I can sure appreciate the moves they made.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:36 AM
Remember the day Hendrix died…

lovingmyUSA on September 7, 2010 at 1:37 AM
Going back to an earlier post about Sabbath..IMHO..I thought it was very unwise move by Ozzie to leave Sabbath..For both Sabbath and Ozzie..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:38 AM
I’m not sure on this, but I think Abbey Road came out after White Album, and the second side of Abbey Road was produced by Alan Parsons — talk about a journey that second side took!
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:38 AM
I agree.. BUT you get hot women in Leather with guitars and the tickets will sell..at least for a little while..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:41 AM
Holy smokes, love your taste in music. That one went out to my email list. I saw Johnny Winter last year in Long Beach. He looks like death.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:41 AM
You are right..the plane crash was a tragedy.
Denver’s music along with Steely Dan,Eagles,Zeppelin,and some 60/70′s one hit wonders is what I have been able to get my 13 year old daughter to listen to on a regular basis.
These sounds stand the test of time.
I think Steppenwolf and the Doors epitomize this generation.There sound and introspective narrative of the times were gold and I still can’t get enough of them.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:41 AM
Hey Baxter — take that.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:42 AM
Will your daughter listen to Pink Floyd?..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:44 AM
you know for a guy who named his dog after himself he should have no regrets.
here BO come and get it BO….go fetch BO!

I saw Edgar Winter in Des Moines, back in the day…think I was as wasted as he…
lovingmyUSA on September 7, 2010 at 1:46 AM
I’m not sure what their last album was…I was just trying to make the distinction from where they started to where they ended.
The difference in their music is incredible and yet they were still able to not only maintain their fan base…but it exploded.
A lot of great groups have tried this (U2 for one..post Achtung was not an advancement of the ladder) and not been able to grow and expand like the Beatles did.
The Police were getting close …..but broke up.
Incredible talent.

First concert ever: Babys opened for Styx.
Second concert: Eagles Long Run with Joe Walsh.
Third concert: Police Ghost In The Machine.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:53 AM
She likes the same one almost everybody likes…another brick in the wall part 2…..besides that…..she shakes her head.
To get Floyd..you have to experience and understand what they are doing.
You just can’t pop in 99% of it and have most younger people go…yea that’s it.
Even though I have seen a lot of younger (14-18) kids listening to this age of Rock-n-Roll.
Sabbath,Floyd,and the Doors she is just not interested in.
In this age of lip singing models….I take what I can get.
Baxter Greene on September 7, 2010 at 1:55 AM
Can’t be sure, looks like b&w footage of Live at Alpert Hall, their farewell tour. Ginger Baker gives best drum solo of all time.
John the Libertarian on September 7, 2010 at 1:55 AM
The Police were awesome ..I think Sting threw his band mates overboard because he knew he could..As I mentioned earlier I thought Ozzie (looking in hindsight) made a mistake leaving Sabbath because it hurt both..IMHO.:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:56 AM
I hear you..
PS..You definitely nailed Pink Floyd very well..:)
Dire Straits on September 7, 2010 at 1:59 AM
I’m pretty sure my oldest daughter was conceived while “Another Brick in the Wall” was playing…
lovingmyUSA on September 7, 2010 at 2:00 AM
Ugh, solo Sting….I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
