You are so right. The shortage of men like Zed is why I never got married. Well, that and spending my life in the Poli Sci department. You can just imagine the kind of raw material there. Ewwww.

Why would Sam want to argue with Zed’s decision? As usual, Zed is making sense and showed remarkable restraint. Let’s hope Don Portago enjoys success in schooling Skye.
“Let’s hope Don Portago enjoys success in schooling Skye.”
Apparently, that had been the case. Wasn’t Don Portago’s application of that “schooling” the reason why Skye hauled herself and her larvae out of his household and took up quarters at the Double D?

Have you ever seen side-by-side pics of Sarah Palin and Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palin impersonation? Momma Grizzly has Fey six ways from Sunday! And Momma Griz is older. Absolutely, inarguably nolo contendere! It ain’t even close. Plus I suspect Momma Griz shoots damned near as well as Sam. Too bad D2 is men only. Love to see Momma Griz do a guest shot. I’d be willing to bet she could drink most of her politician “colleagues” (especially the more liberal Damnocrats) under the table.
Sam’s half-hearted appeal is because family…but she accepted what she knows is right…that Z is head of the family and that Skye needs to go.
Good outcome on this story arc, Chris but please??? Please don’t ever print the words” Hillary’s pussy” again! I won’t even ask for mind bleach, there ain’t enough in the world.

+1000 on the 2nd paragraph. I don’t know how Huma does it. We know Slick had HIS fill o’ that decades ago. Face it, Compared to Hildabeast, Monica is drop dead GEORGEOUS. And you have to wonder if Slick ever smoked those cigars and if so, what sort of aroma/flavor the “juice” they were soaked in imparted to them. Hey! Inquiring minds want to know! 😉

OK, now Ineed brain bleach.
But Zed made the right call on Skye. Note that in Japan, she won’t get just a warning for this kind of shit. They don’t consider DWI a misdemeanor, and considering their traffic density, especially with pedestrians in the mix, I don’t blame them.

In Japan they don’t just have DWI (i.e. when the needle moves too far) they also have DWDI (Driving While Drinking Indicated). That means that you blew and the needle moved. When new guys get their orientation they are told in no uncertain terms. Wait at least 30 minutes after using Listerene otherwise you might get stopped and blow just a tiny bit positive.

Once Skye gets to Japan, she has her mama to deal with. She’s one tough lady as I seem to recall. When Skye got rid of one of the house help in the past, mama made Skye take her place.

Sometimes it’s not having anything “against”. It’s having something “for” something else. In this case, he’s “for” he, and Sam, and theirs. Skye’s gotta go to preserve what they have.
Gott Dayum! Zeds solid put the Alpha on! Enjoy your trip, Skye. You had a wonderful life, and as with any airhead libtard you fucked it up. All the better for the DD.
Two things: #1, Hillary’s invulnerability may be thinning, but I think the result is still out on whether it’s “gone”. My estimation of the FBI hangs on this a lot.
#2, stop for a minute and savor the fact that as punishment, Zed is throwing Skye out of her country.

I just realized (although I don’t know if Chris Muir intended it this way) the last four panels are a logical extension of the conversation between Zed and Sam on January 11 and 14 about the old code of chivalry requiring duties of both men and women, and that while women might not want to go back to the old ways, there’s a very real danger men don’t either.
Men do want to protect their own, but there are times that requires tough choices for both the protectors and those they are protecting.
Regarding Skye’s kids, no, I don’t think Zed is okay with sending two small children away too. But he has his own wife and children to think of, as well as everyone else he cares about at the ranch, and there’s really no way to separate Skye and her kids.
If the kids are there, Skye can be there, and she happily and eagerly causes problems everywhere she goes. Even the whole thing a few months ago with her setting up a fake Tinder account for Zed was a very bad idea which could have had very horrible long-term consequences. Destroying trust between two other people is never a “joke” and the fact that Skye can’t see that is reason enough to get her away from everyone else.
Anyway, I’m not sure is Sam’s statement about Zed being the one who wears the pants was a small but intentional weeks-long story arc. But if it was, bravo Chris!
January 31, 2016 at 2:36 pm
NotYetInACamp
When the deciders agree with you, take the win and walk away.
Skye never learned that.
She also does not know what she really wants. She might have had it if she was not so poorly educated by way of her progressive indoctrination. The “brainwashing” that AG enemy Holder spoke of concerning guns unfortunately runs across the board and spectrum of idea and thoughts in their attempt to control the sheeple / slaves. Congress even recently passed a law making propaganda legal to use on the United States public. Skye is part of their target market.
Certain correct decisions require wearing the pants, be it by a correct male or a correct female. Ideas matter. Those ideas lead to action. (if I did Twitter, #IdeasMatter would be a great one.)
