I stopped my third successful fart in a jar for this? What a waste of CH4.

  See, now that's libertarian-worthy humor.

They left off the link to the whole comic. See it here: http://reason.com/archives/201.....ay-funnies

  No, boys. I kind of like this one.

  Maybe they left the link off on purpose to spare Payne the pain of our mockery.
  1. Aaaar 15 years ago
    
    Your "mockery" is painfully inept, certainly.

Too soon. Not because of the deaths. Always too soon for a Payne cartoon.

How about changing cartoon day to Monday? Since Mondays already suck it will do less damage.

Off-topic, but a funny Christian Science Monitor debate 'round-up' that completely ignores Paul:

1. Bee Tagger 15 years ago
  
  It's strange. This was the best debate so far in terms of giving Paul a chance to answer real questions and a more comparable amount of time. But I've never seen post-debate coverage like this. CNN, Fox, Politico, Christian Science Monitor, and I'm sure others. They are systematically pretending Paul simply wasn't even on stage.
  1. PS 15 years ago
    
    And it's international. BBC didn't mention Paul either, other then to say he took part.

Fifteen comments. Could be the ultimate H&R Friday "Funny"; so bereft of content and humor it defies even mockery.

  Here, entertain yourself with this instead:

  The comments seem to be split between H&R and the actual reason.com.

It's much more enjoyable if you don't see the whole thing.

There are two copies of this article with two separate comments sections? Is this like the alternate ending or something? You know, the one where it cuts off just before the last scene to leave the outcome up to the viewer? I hate that shit.
1. Local Wit 15 years ago
  
  You mean our witty commentary may disappear at any

Competing Friday Funnies threads. I love it.

Of course, this one is going to be wiped out when they realize realize Reason's Skynet app did while they were sleeping.

  Tipe slower.
  Tank you.
