Yawn.

Fist of Etiquette|5.28.10 @ 6:55AM|

Nathan Lane went to Harvard?

Jordan Elliot|5.28.10 @ 7:06AM|

Accurate, if not exactly hilarious. To paraphrase Ralph:

"It's funny, but not haha funny."

|5.28.10 @ 7:09AM|

I think Obama has Pinocchio's Disease of the ears. Every cartoon I see of him his ears get bigger and bigger.

His pinna in real life are positively enormous.

Untermensch|5.28.10 @ 9:36AM|

It probably means something that caricatures of him and Bush shared this same feature.

The Art-P.O.G.|5.28.10 @ 12:37PM|

They both use their ears for listenin', but to the wrong people. Am I right? Am I right?

|5.28.10 @ 3:06PM|

I think you'll notice that as time passes in a presidency, and people start to like the president less and less, the cartoons of them get progressively more visually distorted.

π|5.28.10 @ 7:13AM|

Yes, Kagan really does look like Lou Costello, and Obama really does have those inbred Dumbo ears.

JoshINHB|5.28.10 @ 9:11AM|

She looks more like a short Kevin James in drag.

Butts Wagner|5.28.10 @ 10:29AM|

as an added bonus, she's just as funny as Kevin James

The Art-P.O.G.|5.28.10 @ 12:37PM|

Win.

Butts Wagner|5.22.11 @ 2:34AM|

Whoa, I got a win from Art-POG once!

Butts Wagner|5.22.11 @ 2:35AM|

I can say that again

Butts Wagner|5.22.11 @ 2:34AM|

Whoa, I got a win from Art-POG once!

π|5.28.10 @ 7:31AM|

A Reasonoid commenter made the same observation as Henry Payne did in this cartoon, yesterday or the day before. And I may have wrote a comment, possibly a week ago, questioning what kind of diversity is 33.333% of a Supreme Court of the United States that is hideous ugly carpet munchers, as if a third of the U.S. population is such. Then again I may have been drinking and only imagined I posted it. Only the Shadow knows. Either way the diversity angle is worn out.

WTF|5.28.10 @ 9:47AM|

How do you know if Scalia or Kennedy have ever munched carpet?

π|5.29.10 @ 9:32AM|

Scalia and Roberts just want a little of that Bader-Ginsberg stink on their fingers. Kennedy is more into fisting Sotomayer.

π|5.28.10 @ 7:42AM|

Genuine diversity would be appointing the fine young lass in the side bar wearing the "I survived Roe v. Wade shirt. Not all American women are horrific looking. Those who aren't deserve a voice and a chance to legislate from the bench too.

Tim|5.28.10 @ 8:25AM|

Hot women deserve representation too!

DJF|5.28.10 @ 9:48AM|

Lobster Girl for the Supreme Court!!!!!

WTF|5.28.10 @ 9:48AM|

New criteria for selecting SCOTUS justices? I can see the questionnaire now:

"321. How hot are you? Circle the appropriate number:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10."

π|5.29.10 @ 9:58AM|

Personally, I'd have no problem with that.

It would be tough to make any more of a mockery of SCOTUS than the justices have already made of it for the past century or more.

Jorgen|5.28.10 @ 11:08AM|

you know, you're sort of a piece of shit.

π|5.29.10 @ 9:27AM|

No "sort of" about it. I'm for the individual, the only genuine and real diversity. In your opinion that should make me a complete piece of shit. Nonetheless, your compliment has been noted (despite your lack sincerity).

|5.28.10 @ 8:02AM|

Nick Anderson did almost the exact same cartoon three weeks ago. And I don't live in Houston, so I either saw it syndicated in my local paper or in The Week.

Either way, piss poor job this week Henry.

π|5.29.10 @ 9:44AM|

I looked and it is very similar, but the composition of the drawing is completely different.

Very sharp of you to have spotted it, but should you really be that hard on Henry? Maybe it's just a case of great minds thinking ...similarly.

|5.28.10 @ 8:18AM|

I would make one adjustment: the labels on the chairs (excepting the vacant one) and on Kagan's shirt should be "mouth-breathing statist".

Attorney|5.28.10 @ 9:06AM|

This.

π|5.29.10 @ 9:54AM|

Now that wasn't a very P.C. of a thing to write.

Great job, may life reward you well. And if it doesn't, damn it, at least you were honest and honesty outshines P.C. every time.

mr simple|5.28.10 @ 8:37AM|

I like it. It didn't make me laugh but it actually has a pertinent point. Better than average.

The Art-P.O.G.|5.28.10 @ 12:39PM|

This.

|5.28.10 @ 9:09AM|

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

π|5.29.10 @ 10:09AM|

I was going to do the same, but the serious nature of the issue just put a pain in my guts without the laugh.

Honestly, I can't decide who today is the bigger enemy of the Constitution and our liberties, the politicians or the SCOTUS justices.

Mark|5.28.10 @ 9:46AM|

Does anyone know how many studied under the same professors?

It seems to me the institution has less influence than the professor developing the curricula.

π|5.29.10 @ 10:12AM|

You present a valid point worthy of further examination. That's my opinion at least, since I can't answer your question.

|5.28.10 @ 10:06AM|

Here's the Friday Piss-Me-Off Not-Funny.

I bet the artist thinks "First they came for the Jews" is a hoot, too.

anarch|5.28.10 @ 10:53AM|

But it is funny, if not risible, by satirizing those who trivialize the Niemöller principle.

Oh, y'mean it wasn't intending to do that?

Yowz.

|5.28.10 @ 2:33PM|

The Uppity One sure do like the ugly bitches. Man gotta do.

π|5.29.10 @ 10:14AM|

Whatever you wrote, I think I agree, just not sure.

Say what?

Tucked away in our nike air max 2010 mens running shoes subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long nike air max 2010 trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out air max 2009 windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at nike red air max 2009 crossing, of cattle grazing on air max 95 black distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon nike air 95 row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling air max 90 hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain blue air max 90 for women day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags nike air max 180 waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our black nike air max shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, bing the minutes for nike air max light shoes loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for womens nike air max station.Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one air max ltd classic place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of air max shoes store life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more nike air max white mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more women air max shoes sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come men air max shoes soon enough. http://www.sellnikeairmax.com/ LIJ

Over the weekend Maximum Life Foundation president David Kekich gathered a group of scientists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to meet for three days with the goal of developing a scientific and business strategy to make extreme human life extension a real possibility within a couple of decades. Kekich dubbed the effort the Manhattan Beach Project.

which limited the actions of Congress and by extension had to be incorporated, the Second Amendment stated that RKBA was not to be infringed, and lacked detail as to by whom, and therefore applied to all government. By its very language it was already applicable to the states!
