Counting the Votes

Supervisor: “I’m extremely impressed by the speed with which you came up with all this. We thought that entering the data could take weeks.” Caedmon: “Just doing my best for you, sir.”
Supervisor: “I’m surprised, though. I had no idea that our clients had such an interesting range of opinions about our services.” Caedmon: “That’s the beauty of market research; now you can address these problems directly.”
Supervisor: “Yes, exactly. I’m sure that our marketing department can spin the data correctly.” Caedmon: “Yes, I’m sure that they can.”
Supervisor: “I didn’t know that we’d included questions about supporting a national health care program.” Caedmon (thought bubble): As Stalin reminded us, “The votes don’t count; those who count the votes decide everything.”

This comic is posted just about in time for the current Silly Season, but its origins go far back. I may one day have to tell about my experience as a local, county, and state delegate during the 2004 insanity. Let’s just say that, yes, Stalin was all too right.

It feels like something of a cliché to say that, ten days ago, “I fell, and I can’t get up.” My left ankle and leg suffered major, compound breaks at the distal end, and the doctors seem afraid to tell me how badly the ankle itself got screwed up. I’m now in a rehab center for I-don’t-know-how-long. I’ll do my best to keep this strip going. The brain is still working, at least as much as it ever did. (I’ll wait for the sniggering to stop…)

When you try to not offend everybody, but you meet morons like her.

You’ll be like : “You all people need ̶J̶e̶s̶u̶s̶ Communism !”

Including who gets a voice with a vote, it seems.
