  Who blew the dog?

    Dude's talking to his buddy after a crazy party.
    Buddy says "Dude, you OK? You were pretty wasted last night."
    Dude says "Buddy I was so wasted I went home and blew Chunks."
    Buddy says "Come on, that's not so bad."
    Dude says "You don't understand, man. Chunks is my dog, man."

      Dude and Buddy are checking out a hot girl.
      
      Dude sez "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers".
      
      Buddy sez "I would -- Crackers is my fuckin' dog!"

        True story - I knew a guy who named his dog Broccoli.

        Was Broccoli female? Because I really hope this guy wasn't eating Broccoli.

        The constitution allows congress to force you to eat broccolli.

I don't think Bachmann was the new frontrunner.

I'll be honest. I did not laugh.
1. Bucky 14 years ago
  
  he stole that line from Limbaugh...
  so Chipper get it right, Rush's dogs are the new frontrunner which should make the Left start chewing the carpet again...
  1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
    
    The dog's a bit a bit of an archetype, though, a bit of a synecdoche.
    
    And unless it's Lockjaw from the Inhumans, I doubt it could get elected to high office.
  2. kilroy 14 years ago
    
    No. It's been on a bumper sticker since 2009 and it was given to him by a NM DJ. Leave Rush and his ego out of it.

It's interesting that Bok depicts Peter Boyle watching the Republican debates. While I am unsure of Boyle's politics, I see this as an allusion to Boyle's role as the put-upon and misunderstood monster in Brooks' Young Frankenstein, although the bon mot seems more a callback to Boyle's role in Taxi Driver.

Conclusion: Bok is a Peter Boyle fan.

  The interest in absurdist political theater, i.e. a regularly boweled dog running for president, recalls the not so fictionalized attourney Lazlo from Where the Buffalo Roam.
  1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
    
    Perhaps the most apropos reference. By appropriating the image of the late Mr. Boyle, Bok creates parallels with a wellspring of subversive American fiction.
    1. capitol l 14 years ago
      
      You couldn't invent someone like Chip Bok. He was a... he was one of a kind. He was a mutant. A real heavyweight water buffalo type... who could chew his way through a concrete wall and spit out the other side covered with lime and chalk and look good in doing it.

    After the last two presidents we have had, a dog sounds like a good idea.

      Yeah, Boyle was awesome.

Every time I read the FF, I hear Nancy Kerrigan's voice in my head crying "Why?!? Why!?!".
1. Tonya Harding 14 years ago
  
  Because you're pretty and you skate better than me, bitch!
2. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
  
  Poor, poor, Nancy. I loved her cameo in Blades of Glory, though. Now that was funny.
  1. BakedPenguin 14 years ago
    
    Agreed. Someone should have told her that they video performers at the Olympics even when they're done competing...
    1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
      
      Ha ha. Whatever the direct opposite of sportsmanship is, Tonya Harding definitely did that.
3. anon 14 years ago
  
  Sadly, I confused this with Kerrigan from Starcraft. Only at the end of the thread did I realize my error.
  1. Amakudari 14 years ago
    
    Fuck Kerrigan. My life for Aiur.
    1. Gojira 14 years ago
      
      "Fuck Kerrigan".
      
      I would.
      
      "My life for Aiur."
      
      You know, I hadn't read the instruction manual, or paid close attention to the cut-scenes, the first time I played it through, and for the life of me I thought they were saying, "My life for hire!" as they came out of the barracks. I wondered why an ancient and dwindling race would take such a mercenary attitude towards an existential struggle against the Zerg.

This may seem just a bit obsessive, but are we still going with the claim that Roy Cohn was a "HUAC lawyer?"

I thought he was a prosecutor, and an aide for McCarthy's subcommittee in the Senate.

Is that Conan O'Brian in the lower left panel?
1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
  
  Conan has a much stronger chin.
  1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
    
    Also, a much better haircut. Hell, Conan O'Brien is like King of the Gingers.
    1. cynical 14 years ago
      
      He's also 27 feet tall.
      1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
        
        That, too.
        
        Matt Bonner would serve in O'Brien's cabinet.
    2. pagal 14 years ago
      
      You lie! Conan is one step above Carrot Top.
      1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
        
        Untrue. CoCo is the man. Carrot Top is slightly better than Howdy Doody.

All things considered, a quick review of the current political cartoons reveals that most of them suck. But Ramirez is better than average most of the time.

  Ramirez is easily the best of the conservative ed-cartoonists.

      As the scorpion said, "It's just my nature."
      
      Although, I will say that the cop looks like she wears underwear with dickholes in them, so I'd stick with just the hippie protester.
      1. Art-P.O.G. 14 years ago
        
        So that's why they call you the 'Slashfic Scorpion'.

  What are the odds that a cop lady that has had a double mastectomy would be arresting a protester that has also had a double mastectomy?
  
  Now, in some real "would you hit that" news, the Amanda Knox trial is supposed to end Monday.

Bachmann's gone full retard.

So if only we'd taken a harder line against other countries overthrowing their autocratic governments, we'd be safer?

Or had Israel bomb more people?

The whole article is a giant non-sequitar of global proportions

  "If Arab democracies are going to vote to not be friendly to Israel, then I guess we'll just have to see to it that Arabs don't have democracies."
