Ah, Yes. That Is All That Is Happening With The Plans For High Speed Rail In California.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Radar Men From the Moon.

You know, there's a fascinating tale of corruption, failure and waste regarding those railroad plans.

It's just not the lazy story Muir's telling about it.

He Doesn't Need To Understand Things.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Malice of Inanimate Objects.

As we get the usual Muir blather and projection--remember how this man has spent the past two and a half decades blaming an assortment of Democrats for everything--there is one interesting aspect to this. That first bit, while almost certainly a bullshit Right Wing internet rumor, involves the sort of complicated decision that most governments face regarding environmental factors. And Muir naturally dismisses this as idiocy because he just can't imagine that yes, people do have to figure out how to manage natural resources. He's reached a position of completely useless contrarianism on this, where he doesn't even have a proposal, just him whining 'nuh-uh!' and then snickering.

Not that he's better on most subjects, mind you.

The Important Thing To Remember Is That They Are Boogerheads.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Rose Garden.

The way Muir can't seem to write the girls as anything but kids despite aging them up years ago really shines through on this one.

Next, He's Going To Explain How They're Going To Spy On People's Fillings.

  It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Special Rescue Exceedraft.

The extent to which this has become a strip for paranoid wingnuts and paranoid wingnuts alone gets you sometimes.

It Ain't 'Call the Midwife'.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Kamen Rider Amazon.

And in between a strange mix of another grotesque attempt at sentimentality and Muir's pervy pregnancy fetish, he tosses in a sneering, stupid joke about Green Energy in another fine display of Muir's dogmatic crankery and blind hatred of environmentalism.

Just an awful strip, in every way.

Proud To Be Wrong And Evil On Everything.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Chicago Transit Authority.

Muir's inability to understand that things aren't always zero-sum, and that the actions he's proposing would have incredible destabilizing effects on the world says so much.

As does the fact that even his opposition to aid to Israel is morally bankrupt.

Only Satan Would Oppose Bigotry, Racism, And Fucking Up The Planet!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Dream Smith.

There's not much original in this incoherent screed, just the usual blend of conspiracy bullshit and self-righteousness. So I'm going to focus on the fact that there's a decent chance the latest attempt at a spinoff-storyline died in about a month. At the very least, it doesn't suggest much for its robustness in that's how long it took for Muir to start skipping installments.

The Transmission Runs On The Blood Of Orphans.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Black Seal.

The extent to which these people live their lives on the basis of irritating others regardless of the consequences is so pathetic.

A Genius Plan

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because clock strikes 12.

...

As we stare at the latest edition of "the Compound easily bests its foes with a terrible plan that shouldn't work", I suppose I should mention the riffle-beetle is aquatic, so good luck keeping it alive in Texas prairie.

His Grasp Of Foreign Policy Rivals That Of Domestic.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because non stop rock and roll.

Sometimes the utter insanity of the world Muir's constructed out of lunatic internet takes on actual events overwhelms the underlying fascism that holds the whole thing up.

This Is What Happens When Stupid Ignorant People Think They're Clever And Knowledgeable.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because cities on fire with rock and roll.

...

Muir's combination of not knowing what the hell he's talking about but thinking he does sure is a thing, in'it?

Youse Nazis, And Also, 'Lectric Cars Is Stupid.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because spin class.

...

The fascinating bit is not only do the two halves of the strip not even really connect, but the only common thread they have is Muir's projection, arrogance, and ignorance. It's just monumentally poor work here.

Yesterday's Joke With A Dash Of Casual Racism.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Prime Cut.

About the only new takeaway from this rehash of yesterday is that Zed thinks racist shit like this is fine to say to his wife. (But then, Sam's only half-Asian in a weak effort to defend Muir from the charge of writing the racist shit he is writing.)

It's About As Realistic As Any Of His Ideas.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Millenium Actress.

Apparently Muir just remembered he had another hellspawn on tap and aged up the son so he could give clumsy and awful kid jokes.

And now I'm wondering when the next round of pregnancies will happen, because Muir hasn't gotten a chance to indulge his breastfeeding fetish for awhile.

"Killing The Planet Is The Only Way To Do Things!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm not the sheriff.

 Every now and then Muir reminds you that he isn't just stupid and evil, but he's proud of that fact, to the point where he now believes that being smart and good are lies, and his stupidity and evil are proof of how clever and virtuous he is.

She Asks The Questions Angry Old Men And Shouty Wine Moms Want To.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Liquore Strega.

Well, now we know that Muir drives in between holing himself up in his house and drawing terrible cartoons in whatever gated community in central Florida he lives in.

You Know Who Else Used Words? THE NAZIS!!!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because good gumbo.

And more declaring a Jewish man is a Nazi, because reasons, and all authority that is not right wing is illegitimate and thus, fascist.

Got it.

Muir Knows That The Herrenvolk Will Come Through.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Billion Dollar Brain.

...

It's been kind of bleakly fascinating, watching Muir say things like this while apparently imagining he's still the same patriot he always was.

Being A Perv Is Only Natural, And Superior People Are Unethical, Wasteful Bigots!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because we've seen the last of Good King Richard.

 ...

Muir's self-satisfied awfulness oozes off this batch.

Protocols Of The Learned Elders, Salsa Remix.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because the Queen's Necklace.

...The fascinating thing is that Muir doesn't even seem to realize how nonsensical the conspiracy he's sketching is, a mass of destruction action for no discernible motive. Oh, Muir could doubtless produce a bizarre explanation for his evil "liberals" to do all this, based on his belief that they are fundamentally evil subhuman reptile people who like to do evil. But it would be the meaningless word salad of a man who doesn't think about things, but merely rationalizes his preexisting opinions. Ironically, Muir is closer to being this sort of malevolent figure who does only evil than those he hates, and yet it's quite clear he imagines that all his contrarian nonsense is righteous. Like every fascist, Muir has fallen further into his poisonous world view because it tells him what he wants to hear--that his worst impulses are actually good, that people who know more than him don't, that being a hateful, ignorant coward is how one is a clever and a brave man.
