Democrat Members of Congress — Dem Cong

I found this at The Other Side of Kim du Toit — a wholly appropriate abbreviation for Democrat members of Congress, both House and Senate:

Dem Cong

(Cong, short for Cong San, is Vietnamese for Communist)

Johnny Hart — Creator of B.C. and Wizard of Id — Dies on Easter Sunday

Hart died at his desk, his wife said. He was 76.

Hart was noted for occasionally inserting Christian themes into his strips, usually on religious holidays. Crosswalk.com has a good article on The Faith Behind B.C.

UPDATE

Johnny Hart died on Holy Saturday, not Easter Sunday. From Michelle Malkin's site, a reader recalls an appearance by Hart at a World Journalism Institute session. Hart was asked what we call the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It is Holy Saturday, but in view of Christ's victory over the underworld Johnny Hart suggested it might be called "kick butt Saturday."
