I've been reading the political cartoon thread for a while now, and I'm curious how Ted Rall has never wandered in here. It seems with all the attention we give to his cartoons it would be like a moth to a flame. Not that I would want him posting, he would get a chance to be insufferable all the time.

Based on his previous attempts to make some quick cash I'd wager he can't spare the cash to register.

Until late last year when it was explained in the old thread, I seriously, genuinely believed that THIS was an edit, because I couldn't conceive that Asay had actually included that,"Open the blood gates!" bit in all seriousness.

We've all been living in a post-bloodgate society for so long now that it's understandably difficult to conceive of things having been any different.

Chris, humming doesn't work like that in comics, because you have to spend excess space identifying the tune being hummed to make the joke work, which makes it more clunky than it needs to be, and so it doesn't flow properly and feels unnatural. Here, I fixed your joke for you. Isn't that better? (This is not particularly elegant or well-done, I admit, but I did it anyway. Sorry.)

Bender posted:I don't get his metaphor. Not wearing flannel is an unjust law because the deviant ad guy is homosexual? Actually the comic... kind of... makes sense. He's upset at her because, in the previous strip, she said he couldn't wear flannel because pajama guy looks like a homosexual (according to shitheads). What's impressive is that most of the comic's text is coherent, too. And there's even a sort-of joke! Unfortunately, the actual statement of the comic ("progressives deny people rights because of deviants") is complete bullshit, otherwise it would actually be a competently made comic.

The entire "pajama boy" thing amuses me to no end because it's one of those things where the conservative media bubble has created a meme that makes no sense whatsoever to anyone not in it or more familiar with it than they should be. Muir is (apparently; it's hard to tell through the usual haze of Muirish incoherence) making it sound like liberals ( ) tried to ruin flannels, when what really happened is that conservative pundits and conservative Facebook meme creators are trying to make it a stigma solely because of a vague association with Obama that no one in their right mind would give a poo poo about.

DoctorStrangelove posted:Tell Rall thinks that AOL being slow is a result of the NSA spying on Ted Rall. Yeah. He also had an email he claims he didn't read that was marked as having been read. And this was proof that the NSA was reading his emails due to his opposition to the Iraq War (a very uncommon position for people to have).

In 2011 you could spend half of that and you would have gotten both. Plus he was talking about still using his G3 tower in 2011. The software couldn't have been that advanced. Hell, he could have been using OS9 still.

Muir is (apparently; it's hard to tell through the usual haze of Muirish incoherence) making it sound like liberals ( There was kind of an amusing thing last week where Taylor Swift posted this pic of herself and her brother in matching Christmas jammies on Instagram:  and one of the guys on the fairly prominent rightwing blog Powerline blathered about how it just had to be the Swift kids making some commentary on Pajama Boy, because everybody has been following the Pajama Boy saga for the past few weeks and must have very strong feelings about the scandalous Pajama Boy: John Hinderaker posted:[C]an the red plaid onesies possibly be a coincidence? I see three alternatives: 1) Miss Swift really is the only person in the USA who doesn’t know that plaid onesies, paired with hot chocolate and nerd glasses, have been mercilessly mocked by millions for the past week. Argument for this interpretation: She has written many songs, not one of which contains even a hint as to any political leanings, suggesting she has none. She is immensely rich and does indeed live in a bubble. 2) Miss Swift is slyly joining in the mockery. Argument for this interpretation: How can she not know? Everyone knows. 3) On the contrary, she is subtly sticking up for Obamacare by assuring her legions of fans that plaid onesies are cool after all. Argument for this interpretation: Swift reportedly looked pained and disapproving when hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley mocked Obamacare at the Country Music Awards. I found out about this from Roy Edroso's blog, where Roy wrote, as he has quite a few times in the past regarding rightbloggers, "Do these guys even know any normal people?" (Roy Edroso writes the weekly Village Voice roundup of rightwing blog idiocy, including that page full of Pajama Boy links and quotes that I linked in this thread last week to help out goons who hadn't realized what a huge superstar Pajama Boy had become in the rightwing blog echo chamber. Perhaps some of you might also remember Roy having been frontman for the Reverb Motherfuckers back in the '80s.) Meanwhile, the author of that Powerline post about Taylor Swift, John Hinderaker, may be best remembered for two things: (1) In the early days of the Powerline blog, when its contributors went by nicknames, Hinderaker called himself "Hindrocket", leading to a decade-plus of liberal bloggers calling him "Assrocket", and (2) in July 2005, he posted a blog entry that started off: "It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile."
