Did Coyote ever catch Road Runner?

Yes!

I think this works as a political allegory, by the way. But for what?

You beat me. Any situation where the phrase, "You've got him right where he wants you", works nicely.

More and more, this administration is looking as if they hung a sign on the White House saying, "Acme Products Co.".; 5/8/10, 4:14 PM

Brian doesn't really believe all that crap. But he's been taught that repeating it over and over again wherever he can will create Myth.

And it works. Because it would take a paragraph to refute each of his ridiculous accusations, but few peeps have the attention span for it.; 5/9/10, 3:19 PM
