Dilbert: Innocent Cartoon or Socialist Propaganda?

There used to be a site out there questioning whether Scott Adam's DilbertTM was really an innocuous comic strip or some form of communist propaganda. It was put up by a student out at Carnegie Mellon as I recall, and was taken down after UFS's lawyers didn't buy his "fair use" argument. Truth be told he did exaggerated the dialog to make his point, but I always thought Scott made the point all by himself even if it was unintentional. When it comes right down to it, blue and white collar workers are both cogs in the capitalist machine. To be sure their plights are different, and they are oppressed in different ways, but a worker is a worker no matter what color their collar.

So in this spirit I added the Official Dilbert Widget to The Lone Dissenter. It would be even funnier if it weren't true.
