    For the first time since I’ve been on the west coast, I can actually be the first time poster on a Friday Funny. This sucks. FIRST. I win!

  2. de stijl   16 years ago

    Episiarch,

    Go to bed!*

    Stop getting up so early!*

    *Whichever applies

  3. jesse   16 years ago

    This man is an idiot

  4. Jaes Sutter   16 years ago

    Agreed, a total idiot!

    black ralph nader again

  7. Xeones   16 years ago

    I don’t get it.

  8. SugarFree   16 years ago

    I have one spot of praise.

    That’s exactly what most SEIU members look like: a hideous miscegenation between Steve Smith and a fat lunch lady. Fat lunch ladies, but only the fattest mind you, will sleep with Steve Smith. Which is fortunate considering he can only be aroused by members of his species, the elusive female Bigfoot, or the odor of purifying Salisbury Steak.

  9. Nick   16 years ago

    The guy should have been shown to email flag@whitehouse.gov on his iPhone or something. Who the hell is he calling? Fail.

  10. Xeones   16 years ago

    I mean, i’m (generally) a smart guy with a good sense of humor. But i don’t get what the joke is supposed to be.

  11. ed   16 years ago

    It’s not a joke. It’s a riddle. No, wait…a pun. Er, dramatic irony? A palindrome?

  12. rah62   16 years ago

    I thought Friday Funnies were supposed to be funny. So what’s the point of this cartoon? Is it the goons labeled “SEIU”? If not, they’re distracting from whatever message it is that the cartoonist is attempting to convey (of which I’m still unsure).

  13. SugarFree   16 years ago

    A palindrome?

    Can we have one fucking day around here when no one mentions Sarah Palin? Please?

  14. ed   16 years ago

    Ha!

  15. Pro Libertate   16 years ago

    I suggest that instead of talking about Sarah Palin on Fridays, we talk about Michael Palin.

  16. ed   16 years ago

    It’s not dead. It’s just sleeping!

  17. Amber Waves   16 years ago

    Weeks behind the curve. Not funny. F-

  18. Pro Libertate   16 years ago

    Here’s a Silly Walks Generator. Michael Palin in his Cardinal Richelieu outfit is an option.

  19. troy   16 years ago

    That the friday funnies suck is as certain as the second law of thermodynamics.

  20. Warren   16 years ago

    I’m trying to find the link between the use of the word “fishy” and cafeteria fish sticks that might be the element of humor here. Not finding it.

    Not Funny
    Modestly Relevant
    Points for coloring inside the lines.
    Grade: D+

  21. P Brooks   16 years ago

    Maybe the guy on the phone is supposed to be Keith Olberman.

  22. Fist of Etiquette   16 years ago

    I like it.

    There, I said it.

  23. de stijl   16 years ago

    Why do the SEIU guys look like Tor Johnson?

  24. Ellie   16 years ago

    The guy on the phone should have been complaining that there’s a black guy demanding free health care.

  25. Charles   16 years ago

    Why is Bill Cosby addressing a town hall meeting?

    Ah goo goo a woo!

  26. brotherben   16 years ago

    Damn you all. I thought this was his best ever. I really like it. Obama talkin all kinds of shit and somebody droppin a dime just like the administration asked.

    just good stuff.

  27. Big B   16 years ago

    I agree, while its rip-roaringly funny, I think the point is pretty obvious.

    C

  28. Big B   16 years ago

    While is NOT rip-roaringly…

  29. ed   16 years ago

    Couldn’t there have been at least one guy in the back with a Bush ’04 t-shirt, holding an AK-47?

  30. Art-P.O.G.   16 years ago

    Not bad…

  31. an old fart   16 years ago

    I thought Friday Funnies were supposed to be funny.

    New around here, son?

  32. Paul   16 years ago

    Is there a joke going on in this thread that I missed?

  33. Hugh Akston   16 years ago

    Paul, no joke ever gets anywhere near the Friday Funnies.

  34. joshua corning   16 years ago

    WTF?!?!

    I get the joke…it is like a week or two to late to be funny…still the joke is obviouse.

  35. TheOldMan   16 years ago

    Come on folks it’s simple. The WH said to email any lies being told about the Dems’ health plans to flag@whitehouse.com (or something like that). In this case, TAO is spouting lies about the plan so the fellow is reporting it. Since it’s difficult to show email on a little screen, he’s calling instead. The SEIU fellows are there just to point out who has been harrassing whom at these meetings.

  36. abercrombie milano   15 years ago

    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..

  37. nike shox   14 years ago

    is good
