    Maybe accordion-comic-guy shouldn't have blown his entire label budget on the organ pipes (making FREE and STUFF separate pipes is just wasteful) so he'd have had one left for the accordion.

    Obama can skillfully play an organ (juggle multiple issues and voter interests). Republicans are too white to even play an accordion well (which is an easy instrument to play, lacking all those large, labeled pipes).

    I guess I can try to fiddle with something like that. I make no promises though, as I couldn't even figure out how to change the goddamn font (fuck you Open Office your toolbars are shit).

    Obama once compromised for the good of the nation and now MUST NEVER DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT EVER.

    You know the worst part about this shit is how I'm forced to defend Obama. I don't agree with everything he does, I don't like everything he does, I, in fact, think he's wrong about things and has done things I'd never have done but REAL things, HONEST things. Not these stupid made up disproved-with-any-knowledge-of-politics-at-all bullshit.

    I adore this one because I know what the comic WANTS to say, but ROI wise and in every possible way the USPS has been a better investment for the country than the iphone.

    It's basically a comic fueled entirely by Christmas List Desires, not historical data.

    What the--a cartoon about the fiscal cliff that doesn't have a picture of a cliff? PA-RAYYYYYYYS JAY-ZUSS!

    On the plus side, at least this one looks kind of like an actual cliff. Do you think hack political cartoonists throw a party every time something gets named with a visual metaphor to celebrate three months of not having to do any work?

    And I love this idea that there exists somewhere this hidden race of Ultra Conservatives who will ONLY vote for the most Conservative person in all the land instead of just the most Conservative candidate. That if they can juuuust find someone Conservative enough a few million votes will SPRING out whole from the ether and sweep the GOP back into the presidency!

    I didn't want to be the label guy, but really? AKA slaves? I'm not sure about the whole premise of the cartoon (if the talk radio time travel part was a good idea), but that label is really off.

    On the one hand you're right about the label, on the other not everyone is as up on politics and the extremist views therein, as you and I; there are people out there who have no idea that this argument is an actual argument used by some so it might actually be helpful.

    I agree that Horsey kinda overreached with the premise a bit but maintain that it is absolutely true and these are the exact words Limbaugh would have used.

  21. Otterloop Beardy Magnificence

    What's wrong? It's pretty clear: "Spending" is dropping...literal bombs on "US economy" which produces "debt" as it sinks.
    Because that's what happens.
    That's what happens when you drop bombs on US economy.
    It produces debt.

    Also what the fuck was wrong with "A debt that will live in infamy"? Christ, way to drop the ball Ramirez.

    Yeah I didn't even get it at first because of that. I wonder if his editor made him change the caption to make it less offensive (or at least make more people miss the reason it's offensive).
  24. extarbags Already Beat BF's New Expansion

    It's still not too good, because that is precisely an argument that was used at the time. So if talk radio had existed in 1865... it would have said a lot of the same things that newspaper editorials did in 1865? Good point?

    Seriously, fuck making a Pearl Harbor reference on it's anniversary. Seriously, fuck that dude.

    As for the "I decide when congress is in recess", no, he just challenges when it's not really there. Notably, my boss doesn't decide when I'm on vacation, but if I show up for 15 minutes and then leave for the day he can sure as fuck challenge that I was working that day.

    If Conservatives were even slightly concerned about wasteful government activities, Congress showing up with five dudes to bang a gavel and close shop for the day would be the top icon of government waste.
  26. Otterloop Beardy Magnificence

    Right. The only thing that keeps pundits like Limbaugh from saying today what was once acceptable then is that standards and mores have changed (and their fear of losing Lincoln as A GREAT REPUBLICAN HERO).
    In (hopefully less than) a hundred years we'll be looking back at people like Limbaugh like we look back today at the people who made those arguments back then.

    There's nothing wrong about the premise, the premise is solid, it's just a hard one to obtain in single panel cartoon form.

    Don't bother to look it up. Orlando has a city code that has a standard for front yards. Someone complained that a guy has a garden in his front yard and the city, the evil Obama controlled city, is letting him keep it and changing the city rules so it won't even be an issue for anybody else in the future.

    Also you know that Blowjob Russian is Russian because he starts every sentence with a Russian word and, for the first time ever, is pronouncing his "Vs" and "Ws"

    See she's trying to say that California is giving presents to the Unions and taxes to everyone else.

    The problem is that the present is addressed but the "coal" (taxes") isn't, it's just in a bag marked "taxes". As it is it's nonsense.
    It should have been a big chunk of coal with a tag marked "taxpayers" (who voted for the increase so the message is stupid on it's face)
    The dog should be labeled "I like doggies yay :3"

    1) Those Russian transliterations gave me a brain aneurysm.

    2) The idea that Russians can't pronounce "V" sounds and instead use a "W" sound when speaking other languages needs to die. I mean, apparently this person can say извините without any issue, which is even transliterated (correctly) with a v as the third character, but as soon as he switches to english he forgets how to do so. Even better, there is no native "W" sound in Russian*! Argle bargle! I blame Star Trek IV, where poor Andrew Koenig is forced to say "nuclear wessels," notwithstanding the fact that there's a V sound in his character's own first name (Павел/Pavel). This phenomenon is second only to replacing Rs with Яs (which don't produce remotely the same sound) in terms of annoyance.

    *W sounds can be transliterated into Russian, but they come out a little weird. E.g., Walt Whitman comes out as "Уолт Уитмен" (sounds sort of like "ew-alt ew-itmen").
