Chargerz Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 So I'm out on the patio this morning drinking my coffee and reading the comics because I want some light entertainment before I go to church. However, I come across "Bizarro". The last frame is entitled "The Museum of the Antithetical". I really don't like it when I have to look up the meaning of a word in a comic strip. Even after I found out what "antithetical" meant I had to think more to apply it to the picture. That's just wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should check your ID to see if you're old enough to understand comics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 But a strong dollar is antithetical to exports, surely, thus the trade deficit would increase. How can we pay down the national debt without turning the trade deficit into a surplus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
