Thunder rolled. It rolled a six.
News: The IRS was targeting conservative groups for extra investigations based on keywords!
Muir: This is a scandal! Impeach Obama now!
News: Oh, actually they did the same thing to liberal political groups as well.
Muir: I can't believe they targeted conservative groups!!!
News: And liberal groups too?
Muir: It's the most unbelievable scandal that Obama's IRS targeted HIS ENEMIES!
News: And the head IRS guy was a Bush appointee, and again, also liberal groups. It was wrong, but it wasn't specifically anti-conservative. Not that those types of political groups should necessarily be tax-free in the first place.
Muir: That Obama is a monster, targeting conservative groups with his IRS!!!!!!!

So in Florida you can get 4 years jail time for trash on your property? Their legal system is completely backwards. Am I missing part of the story, did he really get 4 years for something half of Alabama calls 'yard art'?

Well for starters, he racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines with code enforcement that he refused to pay.

It is a rare case where someone actually got prosecuted for being the neighbor from hell though.

Horsey writes (edited for brevity):

quote:

...

Well, yeah, there’s that too. Was it so hard to get meals delivered to the back section where the TV actors and longshot nominees were seated? I sympathize with Bisset, not only because I’ve had a crush on her since I first saw her back in the ‘70s at the height of her youthful sexiness in “Le Magnifique” with Jean-Paul Belmondo, but also because navigating a path through the Golden Globes evening was tough for many people.

...

Once at the hotel entrance, there was a security check and two or three more ticket checkpoints inside the hotel. There were enough security people on hand that, traveling together, President Obama, Queen Elizabeth and Vladimir Putin would all have felt well protected. Such is the glamour of Tinseltown in this age of terrorism and lunatics with guns.

...

Among the mob that joined in the dancing was none other than Jacqueline Bisset, apparently recovered from the shock of winning. She looked wistful and gorgeous.

I confess, I just stared.

Anything?


POLITICARTOONFACT

Claim 1: Obama publicly demanded that the Tea Party be investigated.
Verdict: I have no idea what Muir is talking about and could find no evidence to support it. What the gently caress are you talking about, Muir? PANTS ON FIRE

Claim 2: The targeting guidelines were set by William Wilkins, IRS chief counsel, two days after meeting Obama.
Verdict: Wilkins is one of the few IRS officials appointed by the White House, so saying that he is "Obama's man" is probably a fair statement. Some lawyers within the chief counsel office have been implicated in the IRS scandal, which is the closest the scandal has gotten to the White House, but nothing as yet connects it directly to Wilkins. The lawyers in question were five layers of management below Wilkins, so none of this proves anything. The White House guest log says that a "William Wilkins" was at the White House, but it's not confirmed what they were talking about or even that that's the same William Wilkins. SPECULATIVE BULLSHIT
(Source: National Review, Washington Post, Fox News)

Claim 3: Eric Holder shut down an inquiry into the IRS scandal.
Verdict: Law enforcement officials announced that the FBI probe will not bring criminal charges. I'm not sure that counts as killing the inquiry, or Holder being the one to kill it. Various Republicans are alleging that it was done too quickly, that the investigation was biased by an Obama donor being put in charge of the inquiry, and that top witnesses weren't interviewed. I'm not seeing much evidence that criminal charges should have been filed though. I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS WE COULD GIVE THAT ONE TO HIM

Most of the smoke that Muir sees isn't really smoke, and most of what he believes comes from either notorious bullshit peddlers like The Daily Caller or unreliable grandstanders like Issa. (Also, learn to spell "harass" and "inquiry," Muir.)

From a ways back, but I just want to stress how utterly incompetent this is as a cartoon. He sets the cartoon 12 years back in time, and says "What if the paramilitary figures knew what they were getting into?" and decides what they'd do is state "We're about to die, gently caress yeah!"

Like, if he wanted to make a cartoon saying the war was pointless, there's a billion less contrived ways to do it than this. If he wanted to examine what was going through their mind, then this is idiotic.

This would be accurate if there was a defensive line of republicans trying to quickly set up a net in front of kicker Obama, or rushing him long before the play began. As it stands, Allie seems to think there was nobody trying to block the ACA.

That's cute, Eric.

Yes, yes, I agree: when Christie repeatedly denied he had any knowledge whatsoever and it claimed it totally wasn't his fault at all, that sure was taking full responsibility. Unlike when Obama went on air and, you know, actually took full loving responsibility for the lousy healthcare.gov rollout. Up is down, black is white, Bish is an insightful commentator.

The turban alludes to a Johnny Carson bit where he'd dress as a "mystic from the east" called Carnac the Magnificent. Carnac practiced clairvoyance: he'd hold a sealed envelope containing a question to his forehead, "answer" the question (e.g. "Sis boom bah.") then open the envelope to reveal the question (e.g. "Describe the sound made when a sheep explodes.") If the audience groaned at a pun, Carnac would deliver a "Middle Eastern" curse ("May your only son become the goalie on a nude hockey team.") It was p. racist by today's standards, but people loved it.
