I think what Ramirez has drawn here is the anti-caricature. A caricature's main purpose is to magnify a person's peculiar features to make him/her instantly recognizable. Ramirez's grotesque anti-caricatures accomplish the exact opposite. I follow politics pretty closely and I wouldn't be able to identify the people who Ramirez depicts without the help of the names he has provided.

Discendo Vox posted:I'm not an animal rights guy, but Japan has such a poor reputation in terms of hunting dolphins and whales (to say nothing of their other problematic fishing practices) that I would join in the criticism. But what does history have to do with it? History probably refers to the controversies over Japanese history textbooks. Abe is trying to revise them to be more nationalistic because he's basically a fascist. It has no particular connection to dolphin hunting, although they're both things Japanese nationalists care a lot about.

Exclamation Marx posted:the guy on the right is the Conservative Party's Colin Craig. They got about 2% at the last election, but it looks like the Nats might gift him an electorate seat. His big priority is letting parents beat their children, he's anti-gay, thinks climate change is a hoax but if it was real it'd be created by the "circulation of the planets". I just looked this guy up, and you're not being fair to him. Global warming is caused by circulation of the planets and sunspots, can't forget about the sunspots. I loved the response I read somewhere to the question of whether sunspots contribute to climate change, something to the effect of "Probably some small impact. Maybe we'd be able to measure it if we stopped pumping the atmosphere full of greenhouse gasses." E: Edible Hat posted:I think what Ramirez has drawn here is the anti-caricature.

Yeah they do that because billing is separate from poster order and is something agents bargain for so it's worthless to point it out as every single movie ever does it.

There was a study a while back that basically boils down to people being willing to outsource memory to things like Google. http://news.columbia.edu/googlememory The sentiment behind it is still mostly luddite nonsense, though.

"Sam, in your expert opinion, will Obama try rule by fiat?" -- a conversation starter we are apparently supposed to believe would be uttered by an actual person Man, I thought all the baseless speculation about whether the President, apropos of nothing, would suddenly declare himself dictator-for-life was tiresome when people were saying it about Bush. That was about a President I didn't like, without Muir's tortured word choice to force in a terrible car pun.

Almost 3/4 of the way through his time in office, and we're still waiting for Obama to start ruling as a dictator. Any day now.

Supposedly, the headline was put on the piece by the Times, but yeah he's all for a "managed restructuring" (bankruptcy) and tries to claim the bailout he specifically names as being the death of the auto industry was what he was talking about all along.

 Ronald Reagan declared victory on poverty's behalf 28 years ago. Ronald Reagan posted:We're in danger of creating a permanent culture of poverty as inescapable as any chain or bond; a second and separate America, an America of lost dreams and stunted lives. The irony is that misguided welfare programs instituted in the name of compassion have actually helped turn a shrinking problem into a national tragedy. From the 1950's on, poverty in America was declining. American society, an opportunity society, was doing its wonders. Economic growth was providing a ladder for millions to climb up out of poverty and into prosperity. In 1964 the famous War on Poverty was declared and a funny thing happened. Poverty, as measured by dependency, stopped shrinking and then actually began to grow worse. I guess you could say, poverty won the war. Poverty won in part because instead of helping the poor, government programs ruptured the bonds holding poor families together.

It seems like poverty is winning the battle, the humans are starving each other like cattle, the bodies are piling from Rome to Seattle. To be fair, the victory conditions differ for both sides. Anyone living in poverty constitutes a win for poverty, only ubiquitous prosperity constitutes a win against poverty.
