Good morning reason.
Payne, you get an almost giggle.
-
Don't be caught with this cartoon near an airport.
-
Yeah - what's with political cartoonists and falling airplanes???
-
I'm not worried, I am sure that every member of congress was put on the terror watch list after this cartoon dropped.
-
Nope. Just everyone who posts anything in the comments...D'oh!
-
Not bad. But why did he use Karl Malden to represent Congress? And why is the plane full of Kilroys?
-
Oops, that should have been Walter Matthau.
-
You know how any movie is better if it has Walter Matthau in it? The same principle applies to editorial cartoons.
-
The inaccuracy of the plane kills it for me: a door accessing the
cockpitflight deck, an open door while in flight (is the plane depressurized?), and a parachute. Sorry Congress, but no parachutes on a commercial plane. We all go down together! -
That's OK, he opened the parachute waaaay too early.
-
yeah, I think there's significant risk for Congress to get sucked into the engine intake
-
let's hope so!
-
Alan, that little death threat just earned you Double Secret Probation. Try getting on an airline flight now, bitch.
-
Didn't Ramirez have a similar cartoon earlier this week?
-
I thought I saw this cartoon before.
-
Simpsons did it!
-
Bugs Bunny did it!
-
Next pane, the passengers take the controls and pull the aircraft out of its dive. Am I right, fellow potential voters?
Also, too soon.
-
Except that Congress secured the bullet proof cockpit door before bailing out.
-
Actually, I think the story goes that they elect the co-pilot captain, but he's also already parachuted out.
-
But Jesus is their co-pilot.
-
Jesus was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the mountains and I had to eat him.
-
+3 in 1
-
If only the plane was aimed at congress...oh shit here come the sirens.
-
A solid a FUCKING plus.
-
The second "A" should have been capitalized. Mis-capitalization gives the previous comment a C-.
-
All crimes are now capital crimes.
-
wordplay of the day
-
Sites like Reason.com cause workers to waste time while on the job. This effects interstate commerce. I'm having the AG look into closing all such sites down. Of course, reading sites like Daily Kos and DU will make workers happy, and happy workers will work harder. Thus they will remain open. Have a great day, serfs.
-
This effects interstate commerce.
Especially without ad blockers.
-
And especially with ad blockers. My decision not to see ads means that ad money is wasted on me. We don't want any wasted money now, do we?
-
If it's spent money, it's stimulus.
-
It's comforting to know we have a ruler who knows the difference between "affects" and "effects."
-
Who are you to question me? I went to Columbia and Harvard. I was editor of the Harvard Law Review. I bet you went to a **shudder** state school. I don't need to be taking grammar lessons from you. Learn your place, prole.
-
They're just racists, Dear Leader.
-
Respond: Forgive us oh great leader of men.
We have failed to believe that spending stolen money a century in advance of collecting it would save us from economic failure.
All: Forgive us oh great leader of men.
-
Socialist mops don't clean the floor, they just spread the shit around.
-
That wasn't too terrible. Although if it was ripped off, it explains a lot. Of course, in this case, it could just be the obvious joke.
-
The "budget" is going down? I thought it was going up, "up" being bigger, as in "skyrocketing", like mortgage foreclosures and healthcare premiums and other things metaphorically rocket-like, according to the metaphor writers.
-
I'd have been much happier to see "Congress" trying to parashute out of a rocket. Good call.
-
I think the metaphor that the artist is trying to convey here is that of shit hitting a fan at fucking light speed.
-
What is this? Fifty years ago in Reason day? That plane has been a smoking hole in the ground for longer than I can remember.
-
Couldn't Congress have gotten sucked into the engine or at least cut in half by the wing?
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
-
Don't you think it's a bit too soon after 9/11 for a cartoon like this?
-
David Koch gave 50 k to Cuomo. Sounds like a illuminati gatekeeper of the libertarians to me.
-
What's with the plane full of penguins?
-
Yeah, well.
-
lol Oh God. How horrible. Now I'm gonna have nightmares.
-
There's a penguin on the telly.
-
Wrong.
Should be a train, with a steely-eyed Obama leaning out the window as he pushes the throttle as far as it will go. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid cry, "Faster, faster! Wheeee!!" as the stoker shovels money into the boiler.
Nearly obscured by smoke, we see a Bridge Out Ahead sign.
-
I guess I picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue.
-
lol
-
Are you suggesting that congress will just start leaving us all alone. Thats very optimistic.
-
Racist!!
-
The door should open inwards. And its square corners are prone to stress cracking.
Failure.
-
I hope the fucking parachute rips.
-
Nobody seems to be taking this cartoon seriously enough. do you people realize how significant this issue is? the citizens are going to be in alot of trouble, even more so than we already are; the budget is going to skyrocket. Why you ask? because of deficient spending and not handling the budget correctly. the U.S. needs to freeze all spending immediately!
