      2. Dept O   14 years ago

        It works.

        http://oi51.tinypic.com/2up91js.jpg

        1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

          On so many levels.

          1. Bucky   14 years ago

            picture the set of "the view" with Barry sitting in Whoopi's place with a bad Whoopi wig. He is explaining to rest of the panel... wait for it...
            "It's not war-war."

    4. Rock Action   14 years ago

      When this thread is long gone from our consciousness, and some random dude comes across this, he will know that I thought this might be the funniest thing I've ever read here.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   8 years ago

        That day is now.

  4. a penny a day keep Obama away   14 years ago

    Cartoon: moderately funny

    Ray The Hood: very funny

  5. ArghParty2000   14 years ago

    I really don't get it. Not this comic, the fact that this comic exists.

    I've never cracked more than a partial smile. Has anyone? It's awful. Truly awful. How can someone with such poor performance keep their job?

    1. Mr. Original   14 years ago

      Nobody has ever mentioned that. Kudos.

    2. Barack Obama   14 years ago

      How can someone with such poor performance keep their job?

      I know, right?

      1. Quakdaffy   14 years ago

        Should I stay or should I go!

  6. Spoonman.   14 years ago

    Moronic.

  7. DNS   14 years ago

    I can't tell if that is supposed to be a hat or if La Hood has a banana for a brain. Dreadfully Payne-ful.

  8. MNG   14 years ago

    Only slightly less funny than Mary Worth.

    1. PS   14 years ago

      When has Mary Worth ever mocked Emo Phillips or J. Edgar Hoover?

      1. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

        Let's call it a tribute.

        1. PS   14 years ago

          And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Lifetime Achievement Award for Political Cross-dresser goes to . . .

          1. Dept O   14 years ago

            Mary Worth is a cross dresser?! Man, I gotta order some back issues.

  9. Jo[h]nny L[o]ngtors[o]   14 years ago

    This isn't even as funny as a Balko Friday nutpunch.

    1. Vermont Gun Owner   14 years ago

      People getting hit in the nuts is always funny, unless it's you.

      1. Tom Bergeron   14 years ago

        I know, right ?

      2. Tom Bergeron   14 years ago

        I know, right ?

  10. Ska   14 years ago

    First cartoon showing LaHood's O-face?

    1. The Fringe Economist   14 years ago

      haha gross...

  11. cmace   14 years ago

    These are are editorial cartoons not comics.

    They're supposed to be thought provoking, not funny. Although they fail there too.

    1. Reformed Republican   14 years ago

      It is called the "Friday Funnies" not the "Friday Though Provokings."

      It is a failure, either way.

      1. Bucky   14 years ago

        Friday Mockings?

        1. D-oh   14 years ago

          Friday Fockings...?

  12. capitol l   14 years ago

    Mr. Payne,

    Is your depiction of Morgan Freeman unflattering because of your incompetence as an artist or because of your subconscious racial bias?

    Good dayt sir,

    A Concerned Reader(not Morgan Freeman)

    1.   14 years ago

      I got to make water.

  13. Kris   14 years ago

    So is this cartoon saying that doing all these things does not impair one's ability to drive? Because studies seem to say the opposite...if it takes government intervention to get the bimbo behind me to get off her cell phone, so be it.

    1. Ska   14 years ago

      If the person she was talking to on the phone was sitting in the passenger seat, however, it wouldn't be a problem. So it's the actual holding of the phone next to the head that must be so distracting.

  14. tkwelge   14 years ago

    I'm pretty high right now, and for some reason I found this hilarious.

  15. botoxporcupine   14 years ago

    You can all go fuck yourselves. This was a (rare) victory for Friday Funnies.

  16. Lettermeme   14 years ago

    Where's the joke in Ayn Rand driving a taxi?

  17. Almanian   14 years ago

    It's not funny, even at 1:13 eastern (by my clock)

    1. Almanian   14 years ago

      Wow - I'm in the future by SIX MINUTES! That's cool! Not very useful...but COOL!

  18. Paul   14 years ago

    I'm more kind to friday funnies than most, but this has no humor at all because it's exactly what LaHood wants. There's nothing funny about it.

  19. edhardy clothes   14 years ago

    great !

Nobody would like to wait. even though dealing with wedding party strain and preparations, be positive to enable your self a lot of time to attempt on completely different designs and discover the a single who says "you".

    The theme of your wedding party would be an significant place when choosing that unique dress. have you been obtaining married for the beach? If so, you may pick a gentle airy style. Have you made the decision on the formal affair? Then by all means, go all out and put on a light attire covered in silk and lace. what ever kind of celebration your wedding party will be, your attire will perform among the most significant roles in it!With the cost of weddings, some couples attempt and minimize back again by creating their personal flowers, or purchase some wedding dress in a specialized dress shop at a high price, but why don't you try to buy a cheap wedding dresse online directly.

And unless it is really unavoidable, don't allow your potential husband see your attire whatsoever prior to the wedding. They say it's poor luck as well as if that's merely a superstition, it definitely does spoil his surprise!
