Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Apropos Of Nothing (Cliff? What Cliff? no.2)"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -

"Apropos Of Nothing (Cliff? What Cliff? no.2)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3629

Apropos of entirely nothing, really... just stumped for a gag, smoking 
and doodling at an ungodly hour the other night, vaguely inspired by 
this alarmist headline in the Washington Post, though this cartoon was 
not at all intentionally related to the whole debt ceiling pissing 
contest on the Hill this week... and while I'm at it — is it a cliff, 
or the ceiling? Quit jerking us around, Washington Post.

I also fully confess to an equally boneheaded literal interpretation 
of the whole beat-ass "cliff" metaphor. Hell, I'm old enough to 
remember the FIRST time around with that "cliff" horseshit.

...and besides, if you really take a good, close, hot steamy gawk at 
Biden's real priorities — and the current attitude of the American 
general public towards more unemployment, inflation and austerity — 
you couldn't exactly say we were "drifting".
