Seriously, hidden in paragraph 4 of his own editorial is "The government bureaucrats, not necessarily distinguished in constitutional law, came up with a convoluted interpretation that under the Clean Air Act, the tribes and not the state can now dictate environmental policy in the disputed region." Can dictate environmental policy in the disputed region. EVERYONE RUN WE'RE LITERALLY INJUNS NOW Also way to get way off topic in the final paragraph, wtf is all that "federal government is the largest landowner" poo poo?

Taking that author at face value for the sake of the argument, I'd actually understand where he's coming from. Giving policy making powers to an entitity which is not democratically legitimized by the people that have to follow said policies would indeed be troubling. Fortunately, he appears to just make stuff up to get angry if Kit Walker's link is any indication.

Why isn't the tea party guy an elephant? Real question for people more familiar with the politoon world than I am: Would a democrat draw a democrat as a donkey? Would a republican draw a repub as an elephant? Or do you only animalize your enemies?

alnilam posted:Why isn't the tea party guy an elephant? Depicting democrats as donkeys and republicans as elephants is not a partisan thing. Thomas Nast first drew those animals as representing the two major parties in the 19th century and it has endured since then. Democrats draw donkeys and republicans draw elephants all the time.

This comic is awesome.  Vitali Klitschko, a former heavyweight boxer, is one of the leaders of the current Pro-EU, Anti-Yanukovych protests and a front runner for a possible Presidental candidate if an early election is held to oust Yanukovych from office.

Richard Sherman made the play to send the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. It was probably the highlight of his career. He was pumped up thusly. This is like the easiest AGC ever, Ramirez.

Look how much of a bigot Cuomo is! - A wife-beating schmuck who appropriates civil rights imagery to whine about a trivial quote e: Wasn't it just last week that Jeeter Lester was making a big stink on his FB wall about the "thug baby"? You're the last non-Ramirez who gets to claim any sort of kinship with civil rights legends, Lester.

Last time I used H&R block (since I was paranoid about having rent income along with a home buyers government loan and didn't want to gently caress it up) they screwed up my taxes and I had to pay back taxes when I caught the mistake doing them myself the year after and they weren't cheap so I'm just going to take that risk I'm screwing myself thanks.

Oh my god, Lester. I dunno, I think a lot of his fans may be too dumb to really get the intended implications of this one anyway. "What's the big deal? Is this a Soup Nazi reference or something?" Didn't he also do the one with Rush Limbaugh in that Norman Rockwell desegregation painting?

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but if you're going to attack government waste, golf and vacations (which all presidesnts do) probably amount to like I dunno 100k tops. Definitely less than a million. Campbell, you could have at least gone after, I dunno, some billion dollar program that you disagree with that is of actual substance. Criticize welfare or IRS overhead or whatever you're big into criticizing these days.  nobody mention enormous wasteful military spending.edit: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ so... Rush is being escorted and protected by the liberal media, true racism, and the NFL?

Yeah that's the original version of the cartoon; after multiple people pointed out to Lester how badly he hosed up the context, he hastily edited it. I can't remember what he did with the edited version. It was pretty hilarious.

Man, using that painting as a defense of Rush Limbaugh of all people is detestable at best but he also appears to have no clue what's actually going on in the painting. I just want to slap him until the dum dum demons flee his skull. Actually it's kind of nice- proves his complete and utter insensitivity to the issue while also demonstrating his severe incompetence, all in one handy image! It's Lester.png.

You libs can scream and whine about the kind of racism whereby people are oppressed because of their racial background all day, but TRUE racism is when people say they don't like conservatives. Every problem is only a problem when I can stretch its definition so it affects people of my age, ethnicity, and political belief.  e: VVVVVVVVV Right, I can't believe I forgot to throw in "economic class"  VVVVVVVV

How about editorial cartoons from a MAD Magazine cartoonist who is, you know, talented? More Antonio "I loving Hate Castro" Prohias cartoons! I'll try to translate the captions using Google Translate, but feel free to make better translations if you know Spanish. Title: "Time Bomb"  Hambre = Hunger Title: Bear and Organ  Title: Today's Sayings  Panel 1: Friend to all, Friend of none Panel 2: There is no evil that lasts a hundred years and no "body" that resists Dier = Animal Panel 3: Dead to the hole, and alive is the "chicken" Wiki article on José Antonio Echeverría Panel 4 Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack (anyone know who that guy is supposed to be?) Panel 5 Two that are wanted, one who eats enough Milicias = Militias Title: Saying  Thinks one thing and another drunk winemaker Title: Lost Saying  The bread that dog outside, bread loses and loses the dog I know very little of Cuban history around this time, so hopefully there are people here who are well-versed in that subject.

A few improved translations: The bread one is He who gives bread to The vodka one: The drunk thinks one thing, the drink-maker another. Speaking of talented + spanish-speaking, has Quino been discussed in earlier versions of this thread?  I saw this one a long time ago and can't find a good (higher-res) version anywhere. Also I'd appreciate others posting any Quino favourites. alnilam fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jan 24, 2014 |

Cuomo did phrase what he said kind of tactlessly, but here we have yet another thing where the right-wing media stripped something of all context and are running with their made-up version of it. "New York is a decidedly blue state, and while we've had great success working with moderate Republicans, extreme far-right Republicans who come are are pretty much wasting their time because New Yorkers aren't buying what they're selling" somehow turned into "Time to start the anti-conservative apartheid in New York!!!!"
