Suki|3.26.10 @ 5:19AM|

Good Morning reason!

Fist of Etiquette|3.26.10 @ 6:35AM|

He should watch where he's going.

Suki|3.26.10 @ 6:57AM|

Hi FoE! Where's Undermench?

Untermensch|3.26.10 @ 7:28AM|

I'm late this morning. But it seems you didn't know how to sneak in so early today?

Suki|3.26.10 @ 7:32AM|

Sorry for spelling your name wrong :(

You are correct, I didn't make it in until 5:19, LOL.

smartass sob|3.26.10 @ 7:11AM|

Hm. This one is actually clever!

Jim Clyburn|3.26.10 @ 7:24AM|

That's hurtful and racist! Plus Henry Payne faxed me a cartoon of a noose. Hey, look, a squirrel! It just spit on me and it's wearing a swastika and holding a tea party sign! Look out, it's got a gun!

ed|3.26.10 @ 8:04AM|

Good thing that squirrel can't talk.

Jim Clyburn|3.26.10 @ 8:11AM|

I can read lips and it was clearly mouthing the N-word.

ed|3.26.10 @ 8:32AM|

He probably had a nut stuck in his teeth.

Barney Frank|3.26.10 @ 11:19AM|

That's not as easy as it sounds, ed.

ed|3.26.10 @ 11:22AM|

Barney, you promised to let me try.

Art-P.O.G.|3.26.10 @ 12:37PM|

Should have said he "faxed you a picture of a moose". Anyway, well done by Payne.

Rimfax|3.26.10 @ 12:52PM|

...must get noose and squirrel!

|3.26.10 @ 1:33PM|

What is that slouchy pose he's affecting? My God, it's a gangsta lean!

Fatty Bolger|3.26.10 @ 7:26AM|

It's even better if you assume he was driving backwards.

$|3.26.10 @ 7:44AM|

He would have to be, would he not?

rctl|3.26.10 @ 7:57AM|

I knew it. Male driver;-)

bleek obummer|3.26.10 @ 1:25PM|

Always the observant one there rctl.

rctl|3.26.10 @ 10:13PM|

and observed:-)

bleek obummer|3.27.10 @ 7:10AM|

Seems you and the $ have a running feud. Watch out, the € will be after you next.

rctl|3.27.10 @ 11:13AM|

I like the challenge and I'm sure $ is having a little fun too. The the €, +, #, will have to wait. I can only make one boy cry at a time

bleek obummer|3.27.10 @ 12:18PM|

That's awfully nice of you.

Chinny Chin Chin|3.26.10 @ 8:16AM|

not bad. I give it a meh+

|3.26.10 @ 8:27AM|

If you look just at the portion cropped to for the front page, it looks like Obama is blissfully humping a PS3.

BakedPenguin|3.26.10 @ 11:00AM|

GM & Chrysler just started making Mario Karts.

it would have been funnier if public opinon didn't rise after passage of the bill.

sage|3.26.10 @ 9:12AM|

Heh. Sort of like how Castro would always get 99% of the vote to be reelected, huh?

salsus aut suavis |3.26.10 @ 9:17AM|

Who knew HCR would be so much rock hard fun?

|3.26.10 @ 9:29AM|

It all depends.

The public opinion that wants someone to pay its medical bills has always wanted this. The public opinion that has to pay higher taxes and fees not so much.

It's not really free stuff if you have to pay for it, is it?

sage|3.26.10 @ 9:33AM|

You won't believe how much that free shit is going to cost you.

$|3.26.10 @ 9:50AM|

Generally, you sell the need for a bill, then you pass it.

|3.26.10 @ 10:29AM|

Quinnapiac (sp?) said his popularity dropped fro 46%-45%.

Fatty Bolger|3.26.10 @ 10:54AM|

55% want immediate repeal of the bill. You fail.

|3.26.10 @ 9:01AM|

just clever and fun :D

Xeones|3.26.10 @ 9:09AM|

it would have been funnier if public opinon didn't rise after passage of the bill.

But look at the cartoon -- public opinion, mashed to the wheel, IS rising!

Then it will go back down and get flattened again.

Comrade Zero|3.26.10 @ 9:28AM|

Remember in November! should be the slogan for any non-incumbent this year

victory for vexed voters|3.26.10 @ 3:28PM|

Remember, remember the 5th of November? Sounds great.

anarch|3.26.10 @ 10:09AM|

Sorry, the first victim is justice.

|3.26.10 @ 10:24AM|

The steamroller should have a GMC logo. And where's his (O's) hard hat? And why weren't there three dozen Teamsters on "safety patrol" duty, to prevent this sort of tragedy?

Brad Potts|3.26.10 @ 11:04AM|

Holy Crap! A good cartoon!

When did Mr. Payne get a wit transplant?

God|3.26.10 @ 11:25AM|

He couldn't afford it till HCR.

Art-P.O.G.|3.26.10 @ 12:39PM|

Nice, but I've said it before. Joke tellin' in regular installments is a hit or miss prospect. At least the drawings are always good.

|3.26.10 @ 4:50PM|

A Friday Funny that's actually funny?

zeph|3.26.10 @ 7:17PM|

Both hilarious and beautifully well-drawn, as always.

Heh. Heh. Heh. Heh. /snort

My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets...in order to really get the Books of the Bible, you have to cultivate such a mindset, it's literally a labyrinth, that's no joke.

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."

abercrombie fitch uk|6.3.10 @ 2:41AM|

Well said. Tucker is despicable, Crossfire became despicable (despite the presence of supposed "heavyweights" like Novack and Carville), and Jon Stewart is a comedian who has never proclaimed himself to be anything else. Just because certain people here don't understand how satire works doesn't change that fact. The fact that The Daily Show has gained some cultural traction doesn't change that.

Even if you go on his website, it's still just a a ten minute discussion. The interview with Jim Cramer simply amounted to Jim sputtering something every couple of minutes while John wagged his finger at him the whole time. I've never seen him have an intelligent discussion with anybody, and he only talks to people that he knows he can bully into a corner. Usually idiots, yes, but it's still dispicable. I don't watch him that often, but it is people like him that make me wretch. The fact that people go around saying "He slammed so and so" in that "debate" pisses me off. John's not directly responsible for that, but he certainly plays his audience to get that effect.

In his final report from Minnesota, reason columnist Tim Cavanaugh explains what the major party conventions can tell us about the state of American politics.
