It seems that while I've been distracted with the World Cup, no one's been posting Prickly City, which is a shame because there's been some good ones in there. First, Hillary somehow didn't accomplish anything as Senator or Secretary of State:  Ignore that one though, because this is the one you're gonna wanna read:  There's no topping that one though so have some mild marital drama:

He's not implying that these are things that the president should be killed for, hence why those secret service are diving to stop a bullet right? why ELSE are the secret service diving onto/infront of the president?

Mitt Romney's proudest accomplishment: profited off the firing of many, many people  I guess there was that time he ran an Olympics, too. Which is a great qualification for any head of state.

Stultus Maximus posted:I'm often frustrated by people who equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism but that web page is really not helpful. The author is being pretty incendiary in the way he writes, which is not helpful when dealing with a hot-button issue like this. But I wouldn't say he's being antisemitic. All the bad stuff he says about Jews in general are either "by Kirschen's logic, Jews don't exist either, yet obviously they do, so Kirschen's quiz is dumb", or "organized religion is weird and dumb  ," which are both valid points that he should have worded more carefully.

Mordiceius posted:I think when presented with the answers he said "The quiz was all trick questions. You can't answer them because Palestine isn't a real nation." Trick answer, Israel's original statehood too dates back to before the Westphalian concept of a nation-state the same as Palestine's! Neither get to be a country now. The entire basis for his argument rests on the idea that any Palestinian "state" before the Caliphate held the region was little more than a collection of cities and their outlying areas, and didn't qualify as a "nation" as we know it today. Am I wrong here or is that what he's saying? Because I remember getting a Quiz Bowl answer right about how Gaza was the Phillistine's capital city.

I hate that wedding cake bakers no longer exist. I had to trick a guy to make me a birthday cake for my cousin "Mary". Then I had him put the name in the middle, happy at the top, and birthday at the bottom. Then I cut out the piece with birth on it.

Answering that ridiculous questionnaire is entirely pointless anyway, because it would just affirm the idiotic assertion that to be a 'people' you need to answer a set of parameters selected by Kirschen and his ilk. Back in high-school I've actually had the principle of my school stand before my class and repeat that same line of 'there is no Palestinian people'. He then went on to name some of the arguments Kirschen uses. I remember even then, being the shithead that I was back in those days, being taken aback by how ridiculous that notion was. The real answer of course is that it doesn't loving MATTER whether the Palestinians existed as a cohesive group one hundred or one thousand years ago. What matters is that they are a people now, in the present. There is a large group of people who identify themselves as Palestinians, They have a shared culture and a shared history, however lengthy or brief it may be, that is distinctive and unique to them. Sadly, Kirschen-esque Zionists are so obsessed over jacking off the the great historic legacy of the Israelites, they honesty can't understand how a people can have a cultural identity unless they've defined themselves by it for at least a millennia. To them, the Palestinians are just sly arabs trying to pull a fast one and get another country going when, gosh darn it, they have so many countries already.

Ho hum. A discussion on Israel and Anti-semetism? Let's see if, oh, well, can't always be so lucky. Maybe do some Latuff Classics later though. I think I saw a "Dying for Oil profits!" edit a bit back and I'm sure some of our more recent arrivals might want some insight into that. Also many of his cartoons are (sadly) timeless. Good to air them out.

I do agree with him on this one, though. The Democrats have gerrymandered Illinois as bad as the Republicans have in Texas. There is a ballot initiative (which is currently being contested in the courts) to put redistricting in the hands of an independent group. Oh god, I agree with an Allie, what is the world coming to?

Yeah gerrymandering is really troubling on all sides, and it takes a certain brand of rear end in a top hat to act like "it's bad and only the other guys are doing it." Most people I know consider gerrymandering a dirty fact of politics, not at all a partisan.

If you think about it and are in idiot, the Redskins trademark is actually anti-racist because it keeps anyone else from using that slur. I love all these conservative suggestions that they stick it to the patent office by going even more racist. The patent office had been rejecting new Redskins trademarks for years before this suit; but hey go ahead, I'm sure they'll just issue brand new approvals for bright red racist cartoons, why not. And hey, nothing supports your argument that your team name is a respectful tribute like going "Hey Native Americans fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkk youuuuuuuu!" Edit: Unless I am an idiot, and this cartoonist is saying that if Redskins is unacceptable then we need to get rid of that racist cartoon mascot too, because in that case nevermind, a million times yes.
