Good morning reason.
Payne, that wouldn't have been funny pre-Halloween in 3D either.
GM Suki,
Sugarfreeing again

Why would Michelle Obama give Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid carrot sticks?
Because it goes down easier than a whole cucumber?
Lazy

what is this I don't even
Someone tell Henry Payne that her official title is "First Caboose."
Not too long ago, Rush Limbaugh took a call from a woman who resented the hypocrisy of the nutrition-pimping first lady who has been gaining weight. As most of us guys would have done, Limbaugh pressured the caller to divulge where on Mrs. Obama's body the extra pounds could be seen, but she refused to get specific.
This page has the audio clip.
Even by the impossibly low standards of the Friday Funnies, this is trite and dumb.
It really is.
It's almost impressively inane.
Is there such a thing as an inorganic carrot stick?
Yes!
Child #1: Why is Michelle so angry?
Child #2: That's her normal face.
Child #3: I thought it was a mask.
Well Reason, you've once again outdone yourself in the unfunny department.
hahahaha! oh! wow.
Timing fail. Last week was deadline for Halloween. This week should be about the election. Thanks for the effort.
This Friday (un)Funny was payne-ful yuk,yuk,har...
I come here on Fridays just to complain about the cartoons.
The house should've been labeled "Voters", and the kids should've been labeled GOP and Dems. The GOP kid could say "I got a pack of gum!" and the Dem kid would reply "I got a pink slip."
Then you blend Halloween and election into one comic. Brilliant!
It was funnier before I scrolled down and saw the "punch line".
It would have been more funny minus the "organic" part. Sometimes Reason's humor dept tries to hard. Simple is best. But, not awful!
I remember being disappointed in past Halloween hauls when I received the following: apples (parents threw them out anyway), Mary Janes, and pennies.

Reason's friday funnies are why everyone thinks libertarians are wierd.
No it ain't.
you are wrong, sorry.
Why libertarians are weird
Abundance of disorders. DSM statistician's wet dream
Age of consent bullshit. Little girls don't want to be fucked
Authority issues. Don't you all have those little profile pics?
Comic book/cartoon/video game aficionados. What was so great about twelve that you can't get past it Peter Pan?
Women issues/no women and woman are cunts syndrome. Aren' they all mean to ya!
Obsessive about money and selfishness. Complete taxation rejection and I ain't my brother's keeper
Chirp...
Blog is on fire bitch. First Reason poster to make a comment gets a blowjob from Sugarfree. Epi, you don't qualify-you've already had your share.
Statist. Keep grabbing your ankles for the State.
Anal is punishment for being a status?
Shh, Sugarfree is going to jump to the dark side.
"Anal is punishment for being a status?"
Status like "offline" or "unavailable"?
a penny a day keeps Obama away. So does not receiving an add friend request
Abundance of disorders. DSM statistician's wet dream
1.) Madness is sometimes the most appropriate response of a self-respecting person to an outrageous situation. Don't kill the messenger.
2.) DSM is nakedly political and scientifically dubious in its catalogue of "mental illnesses." Remember that homosexuality was officially a disease until the early 1970s.
Age of consent bullshit. Little girls don't want to be fucked
Postpubescent teens are not children, even if middle-class parents wish to treat them as such.
Authority issues. Don't you all have those little profile pics?
State authority is constantly being abused. If you don't have "authority issues," you're not paying attention.
Comic book/cartoon/video game aficionados. What was so great about twelve that you can't get past it Peter Pan?
For you, libertarians are aesthetically as well as politically incorrect. So what?
Women issues/no women and woman are cunts syndrome. Aren' they all mean to ya!
Thick-skinned women are always welcome here. Ask Jennifer Abel.
Obsessive about money and selfishness. Complete taxation rejection and I ain't my brother's keeper
All we're saying is that philanthropy is not the government's job. There is nothing inherently selfish about this. Be fair.

Here's a test for Asberger's/autism. I scored 36. I am exxxxxxtreme.
...100 years ago they would have been weird loner farmers or something.

Could It Be that All Men Are a Bit Autistic?
All REAL MEN are.

35 extreme -- my wife will nod her head and say she already new that
Isaac Bartram|9.12.07 @ 11:31AM|#
I think I got a 42 when I took that test.
I'm just glad that nobody had heard of Asperger's when I was a kid. I had enough problems. 🙂
Bhh|9.12.07 @ 11:32AM|#
34! Explains a lot.
I figure there's more autism because geeks are breeding. Because now they can make a lot of money. This has to be a relatively new phenomenon - just a generation or two. 100 years ago they would have been weird loner farmers or something. You gets the money, then you get the womens
just sayin|9.12.07 @ 12:27PM|#
....Me, I just wish we'd had some of that when I was growing up. I figured out coping mechanisms of my own, but some help would have made it a lot easier and less painful.
Cesar|9.12.07 @ 12:37PM|#
I'm also ADHD, which seems to be a bit like the opposite of Asperger's
Interesting copy-and-paste, but it doesn't answer any of my objections.
rctl:
The spare time blog repriser.
@APD, don't you thing simple handles are easier? No spelling errors to live with.
@Brian, I've decided to blog your question. It covers too much for the time constraints of H&R. Thanks.
I don't "thing" so. Just don't be so BLEEK.
LOL
My blog is on fire this morning. 🙂
Hey Dan,
It is kinda bleek and such an obummer.
I'm having second thoughts on my guess. Someone who knows me right? Did I meet you when I was werewolf hunting? You shed your fur, and I let you sleep by the lapping flames. We threw our full glasses of red wine into the fire, and the alcohol foamed crimson waves. I slept, and dreamt of drowning at sea but a woman can't die without a soul, but she sure has fun living without one ;-)...
No, people think libertarians are wierd because they assume libertarians want to do everything they want to legalize.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to call my bookie and take another bong hit while drunk driving at 120 and getting a BJ from a same-sex hooker.
Bill, you're my type of whore. Would you like to guest blog on my site?
Dude, your blog writing style is awful and so is your music taste. Now, what mental disorder do you have that makes you obsessed with libertarians?
Dude, your powers of observation are ...fucked up. I collect little libertarian boys. Then I cut out their nuts, and grind them into tiny pearls. I skin them alive, and tan their flesh to make book covers for my first editions of Pride and Prejudice.
I love the tattooed flesh of some of my victims. My favorite tat is a Martin the Martian. It screams vulgarity, and contrasts so well with the beautiful words dancing on the pages.
rctl,
What would bleek say about that?
but what would joe jackon's anus say?
Bleek would laugh.
Sugarfree would masturbate.
Epi would unlock his door.
My little spoof would crawl into his test tube.
Joe Jackson knows I love his music, and Shakespearean Jews are wrapped in the arms of angels.
Maybe bleek would laugh but I can't speak for him.
Now I'm confused. I only have one friend here.
Hmm the suspects? Professor Presto's magician, a little boy who foolishly thinks he wounded me, a serious editor who comes for a laugh, or a Shakespearean Jew whose ghost still haunts me.
Key Dan,
NOTA - just bleek and such an obummer
I love a mystery....Hmm, how would you know NOTA? It is my little joke.
Dan, hmm. Was online, but no FR?
Ok, making me crazier. I'm terrible with language code. I need a visual clue.
Sorry, no tickie no pickie.
Calling you out like the good old days
If those kids try soaping the windows in retaliation they'll never know what hit them.
The point of the cartoon, not funny. The sign that identifies the White House as the First Lady's residence rather than the President's, mildly humorous.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Reason clearly favors alliteration over accuracy. Otherwise, these would be called the Friday Lame Cartoons.
In light of the administrations that have been in the White House for the past 50 years you'd think it be Halloween there all year round.
ghost: organic carrot sticks?
witch: and a 1099 form?
This!
One of the saddest parts of Matt Welch's life has to be convincing himself that the money Reason gives to Henry Payne is money well spent.
Maybe Payne pays them. I could sleep easier at night if I believed that.
I thought it was Robert Byrd (either dead or in a KKK get up, either works) and Pelosi and they were going to pull a Charlie Brown "I got a rock" gag.
Aye, was going to say they were dressed as Byrd and O'Donnell. Shame on them for reminding her of politics.
alt: "There's nobody home!"
Mr. Obama will be here shortly to explain in a more clear manner exactly why this cartoon is funny.
This is the worst, least-funny comic I have ever seen, on Reason or anywhere else. And Reason's comics are usually laughably bad.
Is this supposed to be funny? Do you suggest that Michelle Obama is an "evil socialist" for DARING to try to set a positive example for kids about health and proper diet?
After all, a huge and terrifying percentage of kids are not just overweight but obese. I guess they're just eating too many of those socialist carrots.
It shouldn't be the job of First Ladies or the government to set positive examples for children to begin with. Parents in this country need to get off their fat lazy asses and do that.
Do you suggest that Michelle Obama is an "evil socialist" for DARING to try to set a positive example for kids about health and proper diet?
On my dime, yes.
Health is more of an obsession of fascists than socialists.
True, I didn't see her give the kids cigars or shots of vodka.
That's a really wiiiiiiiiiide door.
I suspect racism.
Of course it's racist. Look at how it portrays the Wiccan, who is joined at the door by a KKK member.
It was my 23 assistant's idea to give out carrot sticks.
I wanted to give out Happy Meals.
I wanted to give out inhale-o-grams
Not in California you can't.
And you can't be bleek either.
what is it with Libertarian boys and games? Wasn't dungeons and drqagons enough for you all.
Dan,
Not bleek and such an OBUMMER

I'm going to stop giving you hints to my identity. If you haven't figured it out yet....
Hmm, thinking you're a God. Who does that for a living? Got it. Welcome to the ultimate game...send me an email, and I'll tell you why. It is fascinating, in a Orczy way.
BTW, my game, my rules
good topic
is good
LoL, this is! ...
