I still literally cannot believe that racist statement from Bundy was real. That's like bonkers levels of racism. That's the ne plus ultra of racist speeches. This on the other hand I can totally believe is real.

I would love to see the world through Muir's eyes, if only to know for a moment why we're supposed to be afraid for our national security if the biggest security threat any opposing country can muster is a World War II bomber.

"So sis, what were you doing in Maryland in the first place? Why'd you leave Argentina so close to your due date? Did Mom and Don Ex Machina kick you out? If so, why? Why didn't you come straight back to Florida? Did you come here because you were planning to stay with someone in the area? If so, who? How do you know them? Will I get to meet them?" "All interesting questions, Sam. I'd be happy to answer them if I weren't written by an unimaginative idiot."

the "Obama" is just a hastily slapped on sticker to cover the word "Bush". Also he put drones on the burning shelf, is this a sign that we will soon see arguments that drones were all Obama's idea that the Right hated all along but went along with it because the mean Dems would call them traitors? Or did Glen just run low on labels?

Does anyone know the source of the ideas that fuel Bundy's overt racism? It's unusual to see this sort of strong, open counterfactual framing of history. I'm curious who or what fed him these ideas.

I am assuming that the fighter plane with the Sarah Palin art is part of the U.S. military, right? Meaning that Obama's military is acting to defend the country from this act of Russian aggression, which would counter the claim that Obama is a gutless appeaser? It also implies that Sarah Palin predicted Russia's recent acts of aggression, when in fact all she said was that Alaska's proximity to Russia gave her experience in foreign policy. Given that "Time's Up" is used twice in the strip, including as the punchline, I figured there must be some significance to that flag that I wasn't getting, so I looked up "time's up flag" on GIS. This was the third result:  (Turns out the Time's Up flag is some stupid piece of merchandise from some libertarian nut Muir likes and has probably five followers.)

Try to imagine that nose art transplanted to this:  Very awkwardly placed. Also I'm going to be pissed if they brought back nose art after I got out  Also that would ruin the F-22's stealth coating. (I'm overthinking this aren't I?)

Rachel Maddow spent a while tying his remarks to the sovereign citizen/freeman's movement (and I'm sure he's a fan) but there's a lot less esoteric source - mainstream Republicans: http://nomoremister.blogspot.com/2014/04/cliven-bunker-is-victim-of-racial.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/04/24/cliven_bundy_and_some_conservative_pundits_are_not_so_different.html

I've heard the "blacks would be better off back on slave plantations" argument many times before. These are usually the same sort of people that will attempt to frame the Civil War as something other than a conflict over the continued existence of slavery in the United States.

I can't believe anyone, much less an American, would seriously argue that. Where's the FREEDOM!!! idea that I thought would be especially strong in conservatives? I mean, arguing that whites would be better off if blacks were slaves again would be one thing, but what the gently caress?

As much as there is to criticize about Muir generally and that cartoon in particular, the military history nerd in me is compelled to point out the bomber he traced there is a Tu-95, NATO codename Bear. It's Russia's remarkable Cold War long-range turboprop bomber, which rivals the B-52 in both age and adaptability.

Hell, it may have been overshadowed by his stance on men's rectums but this is exactly what Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty said in GQ: quote:"I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I’m with the blacks, because we’re white trash. We’re going across the field, they’re singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, ‘I tell you what: These doggone white people’—not a word!... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

I'd like to demonstrate just how much effort goes into Day by Day. We all know he steals images off Google, but surely there's SOME work involved in tracing them, huh? Hmm. Interesting image. I'd like to use that in a comic. Let's throw that into Illustrator... Click the "Live Trace" button... and...  Bam! DBD-ified with one click. This is all the work he does.

So in Lester's cowboy view of the world, the dude would have been able to drop the newspaper, whip out his concealed carry and blast the dude who already had the drop on him? How would a concealed carry have helped in this situation at all?
