Yeah, younger people aren't concerned about the astronomical cost of higher education, the tepid job market, massive income inequality and inadequate infrastructure, they're worried about the debt. No not their student loan debt, the national debt. Truly this guy has his finger on the pulse of my generation.

The cartoonist in question is also the guy that writes the newspaper comic Dustin, in which the luckless millennial title character constantly struggles to find steady work after having to move back in with his parents, only to be castigated and mocked as a shiftless, entitled layabout at every opportunity by his boomer father (with his high school aged sister frequently joining in on the abuse). You can bet your rear end he's previously implied that.

Any idea what year that is from? The context would be interesting.

What is this "compound constitutional republic" language? I see some results from the Cato Istitute on it, but I'm not clear what they're going for. I mean, yes, under the strict classical definition the US is democratic, not a democracy, but this "compound" stuff isn't something I ever encountered when I was studying classical and civic republican political theory.

I think it's that Obama wants to spend all of our money for infinity, the GOP is trying to resist, but Obama is forcing it against its will to come along for the ride.

President Barack H. Obama, growing increasingly furious at the unwillingness of the Republican congress to go in the direction it had already determined to head, gains strength sufficient to cause an elephant pain with his bare hands. An Angry Barry cartoon?

I'm starting to think Bad Reporter and Kelly are the real reason I read this thread. I check them out sometimes outside the thread but it's not the same. It's like I can't quite appreciate them without Rall, Allie et cetera to weigh them against.

The wiki article about Dustin is still the best thing about it. They expect people to side with Ed but he comes off as so vindictive and mean that this is how people have interpreted the comic

You can't just link the page and not give us the crown jewels of the article.

Wikipedia posted:

Dustin Kudlick, the titular character of the comic strip. A 23-year-old college graduate who failed to find regular employment in the current economy after graduating and thus moved back home to live with his parents. He is constantly trapped in a cycle of dead-end temp jobs and grueling manual labor, frequently shown putting in long hours at a car wash or asking his supervisor at the temp agency for more career-enhancing assignments that might help him break out of the cycle of wage slavery, not to mention troubling in developing relationships with women and a budding inventor. Despite his dysfunctional family atmosphere, Dustin remains stoic, a heroic everyman and inspiration to the reader, as he endures and strives, trying to find true employment and happiness.

Ed Kudlick
, Dustin's father, is an angry, bitter lawyer who despises Dustin's apparent laziness and is the strip's main antagonist. Ed is never supportive in any way, and always seeks to crush Dustin's attempts to find meaning and useful employment, ceaselessly mocking his son and putting him down, yet the only thing they have in common is their love of golf.

I mean, am I wrong? Is Dustin not, in fact, the progeny of a walking, talking mountain of feces?

The article was written by a goon from the cartoon thread a fair while ago exactly because it is an utter pile of poo poo. It is one of the better edits to come from the comic, really. I suppose from the greatest of turds come the shiniest of edits.

I disagree, every so often Kelly's opinions are unironically correct.

Example: His recent comic about the winter Olympics. If it weren't for that darn Putin and his ice dancin' I could be watching 'Parks and Recreation' right now! :argh:
