When things are bad, laughs and weird humor come naturally. This is probably why I was always so fond of Calvin and Hobbes. Today’s strip (from a site that reruns them daily, in order) is one of my personal favorites. I’m a weird girl that way.

Salt Lake Tribune – Obama speaks to a crowd of hundreds A small honk-and-wave welcome for presidential candidate Barak Obama turned into a major rally Sunday as more than 500 supporters clogged the entrance of Utah Olympic Park at Kimball Junction to hear him speak.
