two things:

1) vote first, discuss candidate's policy second

2) oh yeah, as we ALL know, it's the Obama voters who're buying all them guns.

HALP HALP I NEED A 5th PANEL FOR EXTRA JOEK HALP

2) oh yeah, as we ALL know, it's the Obama voters who're buying all them guns.

it doesn't really say they voted for obama. also, they're clearly idiots, ergo probably mccain/palinites.

also, it's been said, but PRIVATE CORPORATIONS SUCK AT RUNNING COMPANIES.

Re: the post office one. Wait, so now Democrats have actual power they have to sort out more than one mess. Yeah, I don't see a joke. I have a morbid fascination with this thread, I don't think I've ever seen one cartoon that, oh, I dunno, made sense.

I don't think I've ever seen one cartoon that, oh, I dunno, made sense.

Given the certain framework, shorthand, and referents/semaphores than political toons work in, I think that they make a lot more sense if you're in that particular(and particularly fucked up) mindset. Of course, with some of these guys, I may be giving a bit too much credit in assuming that someone somewhere aside from the scribbler himself(and it's almost always a dude, natch) can piece together a point or a joke from whatever rightwing mishmashed ranting is illustrated.

I think my fascination with these toons are in their function of a shorthand representation of how these guys actually think. You can much more easily and quickly process a series of op-ed images that TownHall runs, rather than wade thru some of the 800-1200 word rants that they also publish. A toon is much better for hit & run, for me, since reading too much of this shit is horrible.

I mean, fuck, here's a list of the columns that TownHall is currently running:

* Michelle Malkin : The eHarmony Shakedown
* John Hawkins : In Defense of "The Oogedy-Boogedy Branch of the GOP"
* Suzanne Fields : Lessons From the Vampire
* Lorie Byrd : The Only Way for Republicans to Win
* Kathleen Parker : The Word for Freedom
* Michael Gerson : Iraq's Costly Success
* Linda Chavez : Welcome to America
* David Limbaugh : Evangelicals - A Drag on or Essential to the GOP?
* Brent Bozell III : Hollywood's Ridiculous Lawyers
* Mona Charen : Thoughtful Warriors
* Patrick J. Buchanan : Who Killed Detroit?
* Rachel Marsden : Obama Upsets French, Arabs
* Jonah Goldberg : Honestly, Another Abe?
* Burt Prelutsky : Does the GOP Have a Future?
* Mike Gallagher : Hard-working, decent, honest people right?
* David Harsanyi : Who Wants To Live Forever?
* Hugh Hewitt : Rush's Lesson: The Time To Overhaul The GOP 2012 Primary Calendar and Rules Is Now
* Shawn D. Akers : Donkeys, RINOs, and PUMAs, Oh My!
* Dan Kennedy : Politicians, Journalists Have Eyes On The Wrong Ball
* Diana West : Pay Attention to the Somalis
* Donald Lambro : Shultz to Obama: Follow Ronald Reagan's Approach
* Michael Reagan : Quo Vadis, GOP?
* Paul Weyrich : 2010 Congressional Elections, Unpredictable and Varied Performance
* Amanda Carpenter : Pelosi, Reid Stall on Auto Bailout

Foolish voter, left his ballot behind, can't even properly wash his hands

weird, they had paper towels at my polling place.

probably for people who vote for obama to wipe the blood of their hands

no it was to wipe the water off your hands after you used the sink to wash the blood off them first burt stanton.

I'd make a comment here about the use of "scurvy" and the respective histories of Iran, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, what with their naval fleets and the extended tours they went on in the centuries before the widespread availability of Vitamin C and refrigeration but oh fuck it

what's infuriating about chuck asay is that he's such a good artist - a little busy - well, WAY too busy - but i still really like looking at his drawings

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/27075_thumb.gif

^^^ why is Obama standing outside Stephanopolis's house looking in the window? Won't George let him in?

Not to mention that Al Qaida hates Shi'ites more than anybody in the world.

chuck asay's drawings give me headaches

I like the idea that George Stephanopolis would have one of those circular news anchor tables as a piece of furniture in his house. Almost has a weird 60s-vision-of-the-future vibe. Or maybe Stephanopolis is quarantined within a special chamber where his rare disease cannot spread but he can still do whatever the hell he does. Is this guy on TV or something?

i have a morbid need to have the last dbd explained to me

hard to believe he's anti-abortion with those mutant babies everywhere

Mutant babies need the most attention.
