Dahl: Why isn’t the Blue Room blue?

Miller: If I hear “functioning in the extreme” one more time I’m gonna scream.

The mandatory annual civics course for statehouse denizens was never much fun, but the session on recall was deadly.

the older guys at the bachelor party not only realized that the person who showed up about the ‘noise complaint’ wasn’t a cop, they also realized they were not in the mood for what came next.

Rich Miller thought bubble:
“First he tells me to pay attention. Then he makes Brownie stand next to me. Now he keeps repeating the word moderation. Is this some sort of intervention?”

Dave Kujan: “First day on the job, you know what I learned? How to spot a murderer. Let’s say you arrest three guys for the same killing. You put them all in jail overnight. The next morning, whoever’s sleeping is your man. You see, if you’re guilty, you know you’re caught, you get some rest, you let your guard down.”

Not a caption, but I like how this one doesn’t have the frequent admonishment to keep it clean. Which I take as a “Have at it, kids!”

Comment by Amalia Friday, Jun 19, 15 @ 3:04 pm
(Warning: This will only make sense to those who watch the show “Intervention”):

Dave Dahl reads his “bottom line” letter to Rich while interventionist Jeff VonVonderen (Steve Brown) assures Rich that the room is full of people who love him like crazy and want to get him back… Rich, will you go to treatment today to overcome your addiction to politics?
