Morty Comix # 2292
Morty Comix #2292 was left early in the morning at a bus stop in Tumwater, Washington
Favorite Movie Quotes: The Alamo
"It was like I was empty. Well, I'm not empty anymore. That's what's important, to feel useful in this old world, to hit a lick against what's wrong for what's right even though you get walloped for saying that word. Now I may sound like a Bible beater yelling up a revival at a river crossing camp meeting, but that don't change the truth none. There's right and there's wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you're living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you're dead as a beaver hat."
Morty Comix # 2291
Morty Comix # 2291 was left in the section of the Olympia, Washington grocery store where I normally buy cat litter.
In my experience living with four cats who are basically housebound half the year up here in the Northwest Corner of the lower 48, wood-based litter is what they prefer.
Trump Endorses Newt! Not.
An astute co-worker of mine brought this article to my attention as another entry in the catalog of inaccurate headlines. "Gingrich to get nod from Trump" ran in yesterday's Seattle Times, p. A3.
As we all know, Trump a short time later actually endorsed fellow gazillionaire Willard Mitt Romney instead of Newt. So what happened?
The intrigue of this all is, I'm sure, much more complex than us peasants will ever know. But I am entertained by the fact the Gingrich campaign assumed they had the backing of the Bad Hair Birther Crazyman.
Running for public office does indeed require self-confidence. Don't get me wrong, I really admire politicians who can direct that energy toward the public good.
But Newt's Ego is so big and real it could be his running mate when he splits and runs third party after Willard spanks him hard in the Republican primaries. Newt and his Ego in 2012! I can see the buttons and bumper stickers now.
Meanwhile, I would think an endorsement from Trump is not exactly something an intelligent person would want to embrace.
What a great show! And right now it is happening in Nevada! I wonder who the Rat Pack would endorse?
Favorite Movie Quotes: Airplane!
"There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

Morty Comix # 2289
I left Morty Comix # 2289 in my shopping cart after I was done with it in an Olympia, Washington grocery store. That night I bought everything I needed to make turkey sandwiches.

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Agony and the Ecstacy
Raphael:
"For what is an artist in this world but a servant, a lackey for the rich and powerful? Before we even begin to work, to feed this craving of ours, we must find a patron, a rich man of affairs, or a merchant, or a prince or-- a Pope. We must bow, fawn, kiss hands to be able to do the things we must do or die. We are harlots always peddling beauty at the doorsteps of the mighty."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Caccia alla volpe = After the Fox
"Because I am a small crook, I go to prison. It's only the big crooks that go free. Is that justice?"
