I had the same questions as others here, i.e. what does this joke mean?  There’s a clue in that he’s sitting in darkness so maybe the lights and heat are gone . . . because of something Dick did?  Not far from the truth (dig) in some homes right now. But this cartoon was funny enough without that last line. The last line weakened it and left us forgetting the other jokes.  I liked, “Tell him it’s someone from Hee Haw or Hse of Saood.”

Isn’t this about the Obama White House decision not to use the coal fired power station in DC for its power source?

There were marches and demonstrations from environmentalists.

Don’t know where they’re going to get their power from, though.

The first administration to run on Sterno…hmmmm.

Obama would never speak of God or Cheney in such a detrimental fashion.

Where Cheney hid all the Sterno-Cheney had 2 mysterious fires that I remember in his offices in the last few years he was in office. Perhaps thnat is why the Sterno comment.
