Simpsons Quote Tonight

This little nugget of wisdom from Marge: "I like t-shirts with funny little jokes on them like, 'support our troops'."

Now while this sounds totally un-patriotic, it is a commentary of these mordern times. Take for instance these magnetic yellow ribbons that are taking ultra-jingoistic America by storm. Do they care? I mean, really care? If they did, then they'd ask if the money is truly going to the troops. They'd ask why there is war profiteering in which their relatives are fighting.

All the sudden, yellow ribbons are just symbols, and as George Carlin said, "I leave symbols to the symbol minded."
