It's like they're grieving over some great tragedy like 9/11. Like, I know being unemployed completely sucks rear end but this is overdoing it a little.

This is ridiculous. Rauner put ketchup on a hot dog at a Portillo's in Chicago. We joke that ketchup on hot dogs is a big no-no in Chicago (we take our encased meats seriously, my friend, I stood in a four hour line for one last taste of Hot Doug's before it closed), but no one really cares that much. The "incident" showed up in the media as a "on the lighter side" kind of story, people got a chuckle, nobody made a deal out of it. Allie apparently thinks one mention of a minor campaign gaffe is evidence the press is attacking Rauner, when Chicago's two biggest papers actually endorsed him.

So, Allie, which part of this graph does your graphic represent?




Oh, no, wait, it's real unemployment, which means it's whatever bullshit you want to say it is because you get to define what's "real". Go die in a fire.

For those of you who have jobs – and lives – you might be amused to know the Twitterverse had a minor eruption yesterday with a media story about Republican gubernatorial challenger Bruce Rauner committing perhaps the greatest sin in Illinois (and most everywhere else): He ordered a hot dog with ketchup on it.

Needless to say, those in the media who aren’t looking forward to working with Gov. Rauner (which is most of them) relished the story (pun intended). The Twitter string even had its own hashtag: #raunerdog.

There was just one problem: It wasn’t true.

If you scroll through the Chicago Sun-Times story, about halfway down you’ll see a Tweet from Rauner press secretary Lyndsey Walters: “Hey, that hot dog with ketchup was for me. What happened to a woman’s right to choose?”

The Sun-Times story, which wasn’t signed by one reporter but had a lot of re-Tweets from Natasha Korecki, responded by saying: “After the episode went viral, a campaign staffer took credit for the dog, making an analogy to abortion, no less.”

Funny how when Democrats are talking about the issue, it’s always framed as “a woman’s right to choose” or they’re labeled “pro-choice.” When it’s Republicans – even a woman – they’re talking about “abortion.”

It’s also interesting that the Sun-Times claimed the story “went viral.”

If you look at the Tweets reposted in the story, they all had about 10 Re-Tweets. Even the Tweet from Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign spokeswoman, Brooke Anderson, had only 8 pass-ons.

There was one exception: The Tweet from Walters explaining that the story was much ado about nothing – at least as far as the Rauner camp was concerned – was re-Tweeted 62 times and had 28 favorites, far more than the original and follow-on Tweets that tried to make much of this silly story.

If anyone knows of any holidays or instances I might have missed while going through this. I'll admit, it wasn't exactly a long searching process. I'd be curious. I just find this one of the odd things about this cartoon. Perhaps in some way it makes it stand out, but unless you're really bored or curious most people wouldn't notice it or care.

He's the CEO of Apple. The fruit jokes just write themselves. Do you really think cartoonists are going to be able to resist such an easy joke?

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean. It reads like a cutesy little optimistic cartoon about how initiatives to educate the general public about elections are working, like something you'd expect to see in relation to an actual voter's guide being distributed. Like you'd expect it be accompanied with "Mr.Average Voter know what issues are important to him, and looks to see what the candidates have to say about them" with a cartoon of him reading the "education policy" section in the voter's guide and taking notes.

Ah, the Unemployed. Tragic victims of dastardly Democrats and their socialist policies riiiiight up until a Republican is elected. Then they instantly revert to being unworthy moochers dragging down the homeland.

Not just any old coffee, either; a latte .

Seriously, every cartoon that named the drink called it a latte. They made it a point to call it as such.
