As is so often the case, many of life's mysteries are explained in the funny papers. For instance, take today's "Non Sequitur." Danae, the little girl, and her talking horse, Lucy, make a salient point in the following conversation:

LUCY: "Let me get this straight. . . if anyone says something that proves your preconceived notions are wrong. . . all you have to do is claim you're 'offended' just so you can remain blissfully ignorant?

DANAE: "Yep. . . correctness means never having to admit you're wrong.

LUCY: "I think psychologists have a term for that. . .

DANAE: Constitutional amendment?"


EXTRA: Good grief, I was right. John McCain chose the exact person I described here ("Guess") for Vice President. I didn't know he read Little Iodine. I am almost excited by the McCain-Palin ticket, not because I love politics, but because they represent a real chance to rescue the nation from the false messiah.

EXTRA EXTRA: I'm sorry, but the name "Crackmaster" (as seen on TV) for a windshield repair shop, puts me in mind of something else, and I can't help but(t) laugh. My bad.
