As If Lucas Hadn't Done Enough To Ruin Star Wars For Me...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Prince Raphael Eristavi.

...

...

...

Okay, I think Muir is hitting peak crazy. 

"The Poor Fools! Throwing Away Something So Good!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Randall.

"This is clearly a catastrophe for folks who had to either use emergency rooms or not see a doctor at all."

"Doctors Should At Least Ride Limos!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because chowder.

I will pass over Muir's rather twisted views on the American healthcare system to note that the soulless visage of the nurse/doctor in the first panel makes Baby Jesus cry.

"Soon We Won't Have Any Good Doctors! Like Europe!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because you know that there are.

Join us for our next strip, where the cast meets the college economics professor who taught his students to hate socialism.

...Okay...

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Alonso Sanchez Coello.

I'm guessing that this is some... strange right wing interweb mania that is circulating at the moment, something dense and impentrable to us outsiders...

"Evil Unions! Killing Twinkies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Hohenzollern.

As we watch Muir blame the unions and ignore the CEO's, we can now state that the Republican Party's Right Wing's transformation into the Bizzaro-Communist Party is nearing completion...

"I Also Discover Moon-Landing Hoax!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because I stepped in line to walk among the dead.

...

...

...

Sometimes the crazy just talks for itself, doesn't it?

A Great Love For The Ages!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because one two crush on you.

...

...

...

Please, let a meteor strike that damned house.  (Paid with, I will remind you, with government money by the CIA.)

"But Would Comrade Stalin Approve?"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because pressure drop.

And once again, why are a couple twenty-somethings obssessed with a Cold War scenario that ended when their ages were in single digits?

"We Are Inferior Leech People!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because blumper.

And for her next trick, Skye will explain how liberals and Democrats really hate the troops.

"On Minimum Wage, I Soon Have Fortune!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the large Indian man sitting next to me.

You know, even if he is being used in a Little Orphan Annie-like attack on anyone whose ever needed help from the government, and continues to talk like Boris Badenov, I just can't stay mad at Russian Guyovitch, as he is probably the closest Muir has ever gotten to actually making a character, instead of a shrill, sociopathic dispenser of talking points/bad punchlines. 

I know.  I know.  I am weak.

"Our Country Will Be Awesome! With... Ninja Clowns!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because chorizo.

So, Muir's...  "reasonable" response to this election is to imagine he and his can tear off chunks of the nation and turn them into their own secret clubhouse.

Remember--Republicans are grownups, as opposed to the Democrats, who are infants.  Yep.

"A Brilliant Idea That Has Never Been Tried Before!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because the War of Jenkins' Ear.

Great to see Muir demonstrating his ignorance of both French and American history, including... you know... that little war we fought over the whole secession matter...

So... We're Unhappy About The Tea Tax?

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because they give you a little extra.

Ahh, there's the old Muir--demonstrating his cheerful lack of knowledge of history, and creating his 'real patriots' versus the 'rest of you' dichotomy, where the real patriots are the ones who want to overthrow the government and not pay taxes, just like our forefathers, only not.

Of course, technically, those one million people do have the option to legally 'secede' by immigrating to another nation.  But hey, let's forget that.  They're being oppressed, by not having their every whim catered to by the rest of us.

"They Are Weak Liberal Scum!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because we've got a yen for hats.

And now Muir is actively attacking FEMA.  The hits keep coming. 

"Clearly, This Disaster Could Have Been Avoided By Gutting FEMA!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Owlman!

This is probably the clearest case of projection Muir's ever engaged in--choosing to present Sandy as Katrina.  (Which, let us remember, he largely ignored when it was happening, all those years ago.)  Muir is convinced this is a "socialist" failure, but exactly what a "capitalist" success would like he gives not a clue. 

Still, he's showing the remarkable good sense of avoiding really going into the Petraeus matter for now.  Which means I'm expecting a big strip on it any day now...

"Now You See His True Unworthiness!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because sweet child o mine.

Yeah, he's going to keep beating this drum for a while.  No real surprise here.

"I Know It Is Failing, Because It Has To Be!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because die spieler.

"This is clearly as big a failure as Katrina, even though it clearly isn't.  Because... KENYAN SOCIALIST MUSLIM FASCIST!"

I'm Going To Pretend That Look Of Shock Is Her Realizing What Those Director's Instructions To Lean Over Were Really About.

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Horton hearing Whos.

"Yesh, it's you!  You!  Not Us! *hic*  Wese the good boys and girls, who do what we're told, and know that all you need to spend money on is blowing shit up!" 

"Evil Stupid Decadence! You Should STARVE Your Workers To Make Them More Productive!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because toot toot.

...Yeah.  As Muir continues to showcase the ignorance of actual history that has been the hallmark of the Right for generations now, (did you know that the Roman grain dole dated back to the Republic and is arguably a part of what LET them dominate first Italy, then the entire Mediterranean?) one has to ask--what does he think 'Let them eat cake' means?  You know--given how fond he is of comparing Obama and Michelle to Louis XVII, and Marie Antoinette?  (Not that poor Marie ever said that, but she is supposed to in the popular imagination...)

"Let's All Be Assholes To One Another!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because nacho.

Ahh, there's the grand old DbD tradition of sticking us with these jerks and thinking that it's funny. 

Wee...

What Are They Doing Off-Panel?

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because all this and rabbit stew.

Well, on the good side, Muir seems to recognize that he really can't draw those kids well...

"As They Are Shameless Hussies!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because woogie!

You know, if this were an actual married couple, I'd recommend a trial of seperation.  But as they a pair of implausible fictional characters, I can simply shake my head and wonder how Muir hopes to get the woman vote.  (Of course, given the tone, I'm almost expecting a 'repeal the 19th Amendment' strip to show up any day now...)

"I Mean, It's Not Like You Smellyheads Actually Want To Be In Charge!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because hey, look!  A penny.

Well, that was gracious of her.  And to her own sister.  Great gal.  Yep.

"Muslim, Muslim, Muslim, MUSLIM!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because banjo.

Gee, wonder what he's trying to say here...

And I have a suspicion he has two sequels planned for tomorrow.  If we see three more panels of 'evil Muslim White House', then I was right.

"Stupid Inferior Liberals!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because red velvet cake.

Ah, yes.  Lessons in  reasonable voting from the man who's been singing Sarah Palin's praises for five years now...

"1529--When Genghis Khan And His Dinosaur Legions Invaded."

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because Mars Attacks!

Actually, Suleiman did have Christian allies.  They were called 'Protestants'.  Martin Luther even stated that it'd be better to be ruled by a competant Muslim than an incompetant Christian.  In fact, the son of the man who ruled Vienna would go on to launch an invasion of Protestant England--Philip II of Spain.  I don't think Muir would consider Spanish rule, with its Inquisition, Cortes-smashing absolutism, and government censorship any sort of ideal--indeed I imagine he takes a great deal of pleasure in descending from a nation that defied it, and helped another to do so.

Which is not to say that Suleiman was "the good guy" and Charles V was "the bad guy".  But what Muir--and the hordes of ignorant racist twits who love to scream about the "Gates of Vienna" whose cue he's following--refuse to recognize is that this was a battle between two Renaissance states that we would find very alien to our sensibilities, fighting over things we would consider ridiculous.  (Like who was the real King of Hungary, John I or Ferdinand I.  And if you're wondering, the answer they agreed on was 'yes'.)  And despite their rhetoric--both states respected one another, traded with one another, and kept in diplomatic contact with one another. Muir is using a past that does not exist to comment on a present that doesn't either.

"And Wait Until I Tell You About The Kennedy Assassination!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because grotesque.

Yes, Muir weep your crocodile tears over men whose work you spat on while they lived, and whose death you care about because of your latest insane conspiracy theory.  It demonstrates the full extent of your humanity.

Really.  It does.

The Insane Troll Logic Of The Right Keeps Coming!

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because clown shoes.

You know, the vileness of Muir's accusations are only matched by their inanity.  Benghazi was a plot to ensure Obama's election by... underwear gnomes, okay, and prison, and scum... and AMURIKA!  It's almost amazing that Muir can believe his own nonsense.  And yet, somehow, he does.

"It Feels True, All Right!"

It's the Day's Day of Days!  Because wheee!

...

...

Just... a few more days...  A few more days.  That's it.
