Entry: Of Prophets, Priests, and Pansies Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/of_prophets_priests_and_pansies#3926 Post contents: Dan, I was a fan of Bloom County as well, but my liberal college classmates, it seemed to me, were right to find it more on their wavelength than mine. Interestingly, here is Breathed's self-evaluation, found on Wikipedia: <i>"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners."</i> Of course, even back then, I thought of libertarians as liberals, so it may just be a difference of vantage point.
