I was going through the archives and came across March 19th's strip, "Lundmark's Law". Very funny (on so many levels, well at least 2).

And not only does it work on the joke levels, Tony, but the law itself works, too. For example, the latest "big lead" happen just days ago in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Everyone was marveling at the Celtics coming back to win after being 24 points down. However, according to Lundmark's Law (minutes remaining + 10), that was no big deal.

The Celtics were down 24, but it was with 6:45 left in the second quarter (click Game Flow on this page). Lundmark's Law states that with 30 minutes left in the game (six minutes for the second quarter,12 minutes each for quarters three and four), the Lakers would had to have been up by 40 for their lead to be safe. Obviously, this wasn't the case.

Hi! I just wondering where can I get the Thriller song the version on your Wedding Dance? I tried so many Thriller song, can't find the same one. If you have the copy that would be awesome. Thanks!

You could get it off of this video, or many like it, Audi. That's how we did it.

And you are correct. We have a copy and it is awesome.

Perhaps nothing speaks louder about the power of the press than the downfall of America. The News Media must take ALL the blame as they make or break political candidates as they did with Ross Perot.

Remember Jane Fonda and the News Media jumping on her band wagon? I bet they have a short memory. Gee, now they are crying in their beer because we are becoming a third class country?

I hope The News Media does not break their arm patting themselves on the back.

--Roy Wolford

 
They avoid that by patting each other on the back, Roy.

However, we think the rumors of America's death have been greatly exaggerated. No, not everything is perfect here, but since we at Team Lundmark just returned from Europe, we think we can say with some believability that other nations don't have it all going on, either.

We think that the natural tendency of the media is to overemphasize the bad news (if it bleeds, it leads), and this tends to make people think things are worse than they are. Our advice: go ahead and read the news, but remember that it's never as bad as they say it is.

The cartoons are funny and informative, BUT, I, as others, are damn sure hoping,you're going to announce and run. I'm prior military and just a country boy from Oklahoma that's wondering what the hell has happened to our country. No honor, No National Anthem, No Flag and sure as hell NO VOTE from me. RUN,Ross.

How did we end up with people thinking we're fronting for Ross Perot? Funny story:

Eight years ago, Will Rockwood ran for president. Although unsuccessful, he did receive some advice from Ross, as well as Perot's charts and graphs. That was so long ago that we'd kind of forgotten about it.

But MSN didn't forget, and when anyone entered "Perot Charts" on the Live Search page, a Perot cartoon came up about eight pages down.

Just for the record, we're not in any way related to Ross Perot. On the other hand, if he decided to run again and needed a vice president, we would have to consider it. After all, who could turn down an offer to be one heartbeat away from the presidency?
