What the gently caress is this? This is an ostensibly serious letter sent by an ostensibly serious organisation? This reads like a 12 year old's angry screed on livejournal. This is seriously how organisations representing loving law enforcement present themselves? Like I know that American cops are irredeemable trash but you'd think they'd at least try and present a veneer of respectability. They're literally throwing a childish tantrum because someone dared to indirectly criticise their habit of murdering unarmed black people, and actually getting their way with nobody asking "uh is it perhaps Not Good that organisations representing the police are damning people to hell and calling them miserable parasites?" gently caress.


:laffo::laffo::laffo:

Latuff's cartoons are great when they're focused on inequality and oppression, but when he does poo poo like "OH NO OBAMA'S TRYING TO END THE CUBAN REVOLUTION BY DOING THE THING I WANTED HIM TO DO" it's pretty lol.

Remember that Local Hero Pat Bagley cartoon that drew so much criticism for being "anti police"? Chris Britt is experiencing the same thing.





e: the paper apologized for running it, but that's not enough, the cops want a full-page ad apologizing to all police across the country. Jesus.
Poor police, the truely discriminated group in USA.

A surprisingly sympathetic depiction of Raul Castro. I thought maybe Latuff was gonna turn on him as a counter-revolutionary American lapdog, his pockets bulging with greenbacks and his arms attached to strings held by a sinister Uncle Sam, the iconic handshake taking place on top of the grave of dear leader Fidel whose ghost looks on sadly and sheds a single tear.

Why bother with beating when you have the Reid technique? Just convince them that you know they're guilty, never give them a chance to claim innocence, berate them for as long as it takes until they confess, and start a successful consulting business teaching LEOs to do it too. Better ten innocent men go to prison than one guilty one go free. Wait, false confessions mean that guilty parties do stay free? NOTHING TO SEE HERE CITIZEN MOVE ALONG OR BE JUDGED

I'm convinced the person writing this didn't actual see the cartoon. There are not racists slurs or anything like that anywhere in the cartoon, nor are there any advertisements. also, real mature telling the newspaper to go bankrupt and that they'll go to hell.

The newspaper responded by apologizing. "If we had known the cartoon would offend anyone we wouldn't have printed it," words to that effect. I wrote a letter to the editor supporting Britt and calling the cops out for being disgusting, hopefully they run it since I mention being a former Bensalem resident.

Does the ending of the embargo mean American Soda will start to taste a little less like crap? Or have corn subsidies pretty much eclipsed the idea of going back to using good quality cane sugar?

Why yes, that is my first thought on the matter.

I'm pretty sure Brazil eclipses Cuba in sugarcane production, and always has, so the embargo probably has little to do with it.

Not to the Japanese......

Based on vague reminiscences of something I read, it actually did work on the Japanese. I won't testify to this being true, but the idea was that the Japanese were never taught how to resist interrogation, since it was assumed no honorable Japanese soldier would ever allow himself to be caught. So, on the occasions they were captured alive, they spilled their guts pretty quickly, without need for aggressive tactics.

Is it? As an American you can just go to a bunch of websites and straight up order Cuban cigars shipped directly to your house. The prices aren't even significantly marked up.

In less fun news:
Gary Varvel made a surprisingly, legitimately good cartoon. Seriously, he didn't try to make any sort of point and he did an amazingly respectful caricature while still leaving the couple recognizably Muslim. Good for you Gary. Sucks that the subject matter is so horrible.

Hey Bok you stupid gently caress, Tesla is a luxury brand, anybody who can afford one right now doesn't need to worry about gas prices.
