  1. Jerry   15 years ago

    Good morning Reason!

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Good morning Seinfeld.

      1. Jerry   15 years ago

        Morning Suki.

  2. Kant feel Pietszsche   15 years ago

    -8 for suckage...

    1. ?   15 years ago

      My +8 cancels out your -8.

      1. Suki   15 years ago

        -1

        Would be funny if yourself off was replaced with ass.

        1. lukas   15 years ago

          Do birds have asses? And why does reason serve me ads for black dating sites?

          1. Suki   15 years ago

            Do birds have asses? Yes, that's where all that white bird poopie comes from.

            And why does reason serve me ads for black dating sites?

            Because you are a racist. I get the cool shopping ads.

            1. lukas   15 years ago

              I do get those too. But I do not wish to embrace luxe bohemian style or my new found blackitude.

              1. Jen   15 years ago

                I get Porsche and BMW ads.

                1. brotherben   15 years ago

                  I get ads for Enzyte,Viagra and Depends. WTF?

                  1. WTF   15 years ago

                    Yes?

                    My firm's firewall stuff apparently blocks the ads, because the right-hand column headed "Advertisements" consistently is blank.

                    1. Banjos Kick Ass!   15 years ago

                      I get ads of cute girls in political t-shirts. Does reason think I'm a lesbian?

            2. PapayaSF   15 years ago

              Actually the white stuff is bird urine, the black part is bird poop.

          2. ?   15 years ago

            Are you kidding? Feed the local pigeons and see if they have asses.

            1. ?   15 years ago

              And I get white space. Lovely, expansive, white space.

              1. Jeff   15 years ago

                Racist.

                1. ?   15 years ago

                  I said "expansive," not "articulate."

            2. Sam Grove   15 years ago

              They have anuses, not asses.
              Try catching a bird sitting on its ass.

          3. Enough About Palin   15 years ago

            RACIST!!!

          4. Captain Awesome   15 years ago

            "and use this third one to wipe your cloaca."

          5. Mongo   15 years ago

            I get kids-with-cleft-palates dating sites.

  3. Fist of Etiquette   15 years ago

    I agree with this cartoon.

  4. Jose Ortega y Gasset   15 years ago

    C'mon, the government isn't that backwards. They are handing brochures with information so oil-soaked birds can access all of the necessary forms at the special website: Itsnotourfault.gov.

    1. Valerie Jarrett   15 years ago

      Also useful is weinheritedthis.gov.

  5. Max   15 years ago

    Self-satire can be funny. The shit you pass of as humor actually has that old Soviet smell about it. Let's laugh at the offical enemies, comrades!

    1. Xam   15 years ago

      Self-satire can be funny.

      So can self-abuse.

      1. Dumble Wart   15 years ago

        But not troll-fluffing.

    2. JoshINHB   15 years ago

      "Self-satire can be funny."

      You would know.

      1. yepper   15 years ago

        What a SLAM! Hope that didn't take you too long to come up with, lol.

    3. Max has made his last post   15 years ago

      Max|6.24.10 @ 3:29PM|#

      Go suck ron puals dick, morons. You peeple are fucking retarded. I`m done coming to this wingnut sight. this is my last post.

      1. WTF   15 years ago

        Oh please please please let this really be Max and please please please let him actually mean this.

        1. The Art-P.O.G.   15 years ago

          Edward, er, Max has done that more times than I can count. I think there might really be something seriously wrong with him.

    4. SammyA   15 years ago

      "The shit you pass of as humor actually has that old Soviet smell about it. Let's laugh at the offical enemies, comrades!"

      Max, how you say that with not the slightest hint of irony is beyond me. The cognitive dissonance must be ripping your subconscious apart... or maybe you're just that stupid.

      Max: You are the humorless, State-supporting sycophant. Just admit it.

    5. Almanian   15 years ago

      Fake Max - I know this must be Fake Max, cause Real Max said he's not posting (see above) - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! You are such a card! This is such a good impression of Real Max, Fake Max! Ha ha ha ha ha!

    6. cynical   15 years ago

      You just don't get it. It's meta-humor, that's why they're never funny in and of themselves.

  6. Attorney   15 years ago

    Didn't they teach Bok how to draw Uncle Sam in cartoon school?

  7. Warren   15 years ago

    Oil spill??? Pfffffft. The oil spill is sooo June. Where you been Bok? It's all about the unemployment these days.

  8. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  9. brotherben   15 years ago

    Maybe I'm just a simple minded dumbass. I see no irony or humour or subtlety or any other redeeming qualities here. Just a poorly drawn statement of the obvious.

  10. rustedangel   15 years ago

    Well of course it's a simple, poorly drawn statement of the obvious. It's a political cartoon!

    1. The Art-P.O.G.   15 years ago

      Yes and yes to brotherben and rustedangel.

      1. Almanian   15 years ago

        Second

  11. Lamar   15 years ago

    No.

  12. Kant feel Pietszsche   15 years ago

    Sign of the times: Uncle Sam, instead of being a lean, stern, father figure is now a benign, gentle, "boomer" fag with middle-aged spread.

    1. Almanian   15 years ago

      Homophobe!

  13. Peter Jensen   15 years ago

    It would be funny if it were remotely true. It actually just shows how out of touch modern Libertarians are.

    1. LarryA   15 years ago

      Right on. A government form with only three copies, one of which is actually useful? Like totally bogus, dude.

  14. OH GOD   15 years ago

    THIS WAS SO FUNNY. LAWL. LAWL. THE BIRD IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE IT IS COVERED IN OIL. LOL

    Fertig seeks, as the district court described it, to "provide training in the use of humanitarian and international law for the peaceful resolution of disputes, engage in political advocacy on behalf of the Kurds living in Turkey, and teach the PKK how to petition for relief before representative bodies like the United Nations." Fertig says he also wants to "advocate on behalf of the rights of the Kurdish people and the PKK before the United Nations and the United States Congress."

    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!
