Maybe it's Groundhog Day over and over and over...

So the Walter Williams/Howard Dean nonsense continues from Bruce Tinsley. Oh so much wrong. And yet there's also so much right: With a paper-trail like Walter Williams has, he will never have to worry about being elected president.

• Airport inconvenience and racial profiling is OK, Mr Williams doesn't fly commercial
• WW already was able to take advantage of affirmative action, now that he's got his, time to make sure that colleges go back to being filled with rich white kids
• The minimum wage is just a way to prevent us from paying black people less than whites. Therefore it's bad.
• Some colleges have wacky sounding classes that "some students are required to take." This is responsible for poor K-12 education.
• Let the Africans starve: That's the best way for them to get out of their mess
• Second-hand smoke is perfectly harmless.
• Charity is bad

When I was in college (and I'm sure it's still the case), there were groups of kids who read Atlas Shrugged or some other piece of dreck and decided that they liked the idea that selfishness was good and went about spreading their newfound faith with the zealoutry of Jehovah's Witnesses. Most of them grew out of it. Walter Williams appears to be one of the ones who didn't.

I did not know that

No sign of the duck today. Instead we're treated to a figure who's apparently supposed to be Howard Dean and--actually I don't know who the blonde is supposed to be, some lesbian latte-sipping liberal I suppose.

Anyway, actual dialogue from the strip:

Dean: Oh geeez! Mallard Fillmore's starting a populist "draft Walter Williams for the G.O.P. nomination" movement!
LL-sL: But isn't that how your "grass-roots" campaign in 2004 started sir?

How about that, Howard Dean's candidacy began with a Mallard Fillmore comic strip!
