This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

It should be made clear that the one tentative link in mice is between nicotine and cocaine. It is unknown whether other drugs (including marijuana) even utilise the same addiction mechanism. And the proportion of people who smoke cigarettes without also using cocaine would suggest that any gateway drug effect has a very strong social element.

e: it's also about how likely you (a mouse) are to become dependent on cocaine if you begin using it, not how likely you are to begin using it in the first place.

Absolutely-that last edit is an especially important clarification. My original post of that link was just to respond to the ideas that A: the gateway drug theory is just the social factors thing, which it isn't, and B: that nobody believes it anymore, when NIDA's still funding research. I need to find the use statistics that produced the theory: It originally emerged because some of the directions of use between drugs were very counterintuitive.

So does Rall only have a problem with drones? Because before we had weapons capable drones we still had the ability to bomb the poo poo out of our enemies. gently caress, it's funny Rall used Clinton(I think that's Clinton. Can never tell with Rall's caricatures), seeing as how he launched multiple cruise missile strikes against suspected Bin Laden hideouts and Al Qaeda facilities, including a factory in Sudan believed to have been a chemical weapons production facility, only to have it turn out to be a pharmaceutical factory which had previously supplied the region with life saving drugs.

He made a cartoon that featured cruise missiles in place of drones at least once. It was back when Obama was threatening military action against Assad. And of course, he vastly overestimates the blast radius of a tomahawk missile.

I'm pretty sure getting hit in the head with a child would hurt both parties equally.


So I guess Tinsley's new obsession is the War on Poverty. Look forward to seeing another dozen of these strips, people.

Also you seriously can't put the $17 trillion deficit solely on poverty reducing attempts. A good portion of that deficit is from pointless military expenditures which I'm sure Tinsley whole-heartily embraces.



Gotta say, that donkey is pretty great.

The viewpoint that "USA" and "GOP" are equivalent concepts because REAL AMERICA is 100% conservative and liberals are a separate entity due to being un-American is one we've seen before, but mostly from Muir.

Yeah, he's doing a false equivalency between gun rights people and the plastic bag bans. Except he doesn't even mention guns, so it rings kind of hollow.

Yeah, Iran has totally spent four decades attempting but failing to create a single nuclear weapon, the possession of which could result in 100% of their population being vaporized by a combined nuclear strike from at least two terrorist states. Makes perfect sense.

I'm still surprised that "NSA spies via Angry Birds" is a real thing, and that more cartoonists haven't made fun of it more.

Yes. Tim's Cascade was founded in Washington (not sure about Seattle). Redhook was founded in Seattle and the Redhook Alehouse is in Redmond, which is a suburb of Seattle. Both are now national companies; Tim's is a subsidiary of Pinnacle Foods, Redhook is owned by the Craft Brew Alliance and has another facility in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

They are. There's a crazy old (TRUE AMERICAN) guy with an unhealthy (JUSTIFIED) fixation on Clay ("COMMIE") Bennett (THE COMMUNIST) (WHO IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY WITH HIS HATRED). Here's the best example:



Also while I was looking for that I found this old DbD, which is not an edit and has a large degree of relevance to the recent trend of Dick By Dick edits.

By the way, I believe that same guy also targeted Zyglis at some point. He posted a bunch of similarly defaced cartoons, in that same crazy blue-ink scrawl. I sent him an email about it last year, asking if he knew about the Bennett ones and he said yeah, they did seem similar, but it'd be weird if it was the same guy since Bennett's in Tennessee and Zyglis is in New York.
