Why is Walker a Nazi? There are way more Tea Partiers that are one hood shy of a white supremacist than Walker is. Walker is just an empty suit with marionette strings pulled by the Koch Brothers.

Also Bob Corker won that vote and won't feel any repercussions for lying.

China spends a minimal amount of effort supporting or restraining North Korea for the same reason it did not get involved in Iraq (neither the resource grab nor the occupation). Knowing that the United States radically over-reaches in global affairs, minimal effort in either situation allows China to focus on domestic affairs while the United States wastes trillions of dollars on foreign intervention while it implodes internally. North Korea duped the Bush government into giving it billions in aid in exchange for halting a completely bogus nuclear weapons program, that was just icing on the cake.

Why get hurt trying to stop a rival company from destroying itself? Let it commit suicide and flourish in its absence. It's like what Reagan did to the Russians, except China isn't causing its own decimation in playing chicken like Reagan did.

I don't think its as eleventh dimensional chess as you make it out to be. China's government is about is jingoistic and overreaching as the US one, just with more limited reach.

China wasn't thrilled at the Arab Spring, what with the whole "mass uprisings overthrowing authoritarian governments"; they are likely really not big fans of the idea of North Korea's Mao-inspired personality cult state collapsing right next door to them. Not that I'd expect there is much love lost between the two states; China and Korea have not had a very happy relationship historically in general, so the likely aftermath of the fairly western style, allies of America South Korean government having full reign over the Korean peninsula isn't something China would be really keen to work towards either. Not to mention the destabilizing effect having a government collapse right next door tends to have on your own business; refugees, violence, and the like.

For that matter, I don't think China would really be all that thrilled, at least in the short term, if America were to implode internally. The Great Recession has already been a huge enough pain in the rear end for them to deal with, as far as I'm aware. Its not really anything like the Cold War; China and America are pretty heavily economically dependent on each other for the moment, and for all the poo poo the two give each other, neither one really gets in the way of the other too much aside from the usual posturing and the opinions of military hard liners.

Just so you know, Muir didn't make up the phrase "bimbo eruption", it was the term coined by Clinton's gubernatorial chief of staff Betsey Wright during his 1992 campaign to describe the repeated emergence of women who had salacious stories to tell about Clinton, and then word got out to the press about the phrase. It was hard to avoid hearing the phrase if you were paying attention to the news in the early-mid 1990s.

I had to look up what exactly the deal is with the Smart Meters. Apparently they can spy on your power usage, what you watch on TV, report your movements to the Illuminati, intentionally give you can cancer for big pharma, and/or perform medical experiments on you like a lab rat depending on what level of crazy you are. Global warming is the fake excuse used to promote their use.

The first two panels were about how criticisms of him as a corporatist were off-base so it's probably safe to assume that the second part of it is about mocking the people who think he hates religion by showing how he's meeting with religious leaders.

Honestly the first complaint is actually the craziest one, because the express purpose of a any meter is to monitor your usage so the power company can charge you for it. It seems to me that transmitting it back to the company instead of having some random dude looking snooping around your property to get a look at it seems a lot less intrusive.

The difference is that a manual reading can only tell you how much power has been used since the last one. These can presumably report your usage moment to moment, which could be used to chart your habits to some extent, like what hours you're home/awake and so on. No doubt a serious concern to a conspiracy theorist.
