Modern Day Prophecies
Who would have thought that M*A*S*H and Calvin and Hobbes could pull off such Nostradamus-type prophecies.
Prophecy #1: From M*A*S*H "The Novocaine Mutiny" (1976)
I was watching this little gem where Frank was trying to get Hawkeye a court martial. While on the stand Frank had the most prophetic quote for our current "administration":
"Unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly there is no possible way we can remain free" - Frank Burns
I nearly fell out of my chair in laughter. Then I nearly cried because it's sadly true.
Prophecy #2: Calvin and Hobbes cartoon from April 28, 1993. This has been hanging on my office door for at least a couple years now. The price isn't *quite* $8 a gallon, but give'em time.....

I try so very hard to stay un-political when I blog, and respond on blogs.
And I will continue to do so! :)
ha ha, got ya!
Larry Gelbart played Frank Burns so very well, I still miss that show...
There's a beer called Nostradamus at Monk's.
Nothing spells prophecy more than a beer at Monk's.
