    Edwards is a ball player?

    1. Name Nomad
      June.22.2012 at 7:28 am

      That's rather pedantic. He got in trouble for funding someone else to play wit his balls, so the distinction is pretty fine.

      1. WTF
        June.22.2012 at 7:32 am

        So, he was more like the umpire, stepping up to the plate and shouting "Play balls!".

    2. Bee Tagger
      June.22.2012 at 8:21 am

      He's a baller, I think. At least that's what the kids these days are saying.

    Edwards is a ball player? Thank God I never saw his sex tape then.

    The better question: exactly what is the government good at doing?

    1. SugarFree
      June.22.2012 at 8:13 am

      Murdering people and stealing from them.

      1. General Butt Naked
        June.22.2012 at 8:17 am

        To be fair, when you find something you're good at you should pursue it with vigor and enthusiasm.

        Some people are just really talented at shooting dogs and meddling.

    1) Why is Elena Kagan holding a baseball bat and scales?
    2) "Walking Guns"? Needs moar labels.
    3) Derp

    That is all.

    1. db
      June.22.2012 at 8:20 am

      1: because policing major leage baseball is a core principle of the foundations of our justice system, nay, our very nation itself. Duh.

    Why is Lady Liberty on the toilet?

    1. PS
      June.22.2012 at 8:12 am

      Because that's where Obama placed the Constitution.

        He didn't put it there by himself, but he sure has his hand on the flush handle.

        1. Bucky
          June.22.2012 at 9:43 am

          was that a subconscious switch putting the scales in the Left hand?
          or do you know the Supreme Court ruling on the health care act?

      Actually, she *does* look like those TP roll cover dolls my grandmother used to crochet.

      Glass houses, Chip.

      Glass houses.

    Bok's anti-Edwards bias shines through once again. I'm surprised Teddy Savalas doesn't need two arms to carry all of that paperwork.

    1. db
      June.22.2012 at 8:29 am

      Lay off Teddy. You know he's had inferiority issues ever since his older brother became famous.

      1. Bee Tagger
        June.22.2012 at 8:31 am

        I thought the project he has with Freddy Savath was pretty good at times:

      June.22.2012 at 8:30 am

      That's that guy's name. I was sittin' here trying to remember who played Kojak so as to make a comment regarding the bald prosecutor, but couldn't.

      There's google, I know, but that would take an iota of effort that I'm not willing to part with.

      1. Lord Humungus
        June.22.2012 at 8:39 am

        believe it or not, I was watching Kojak (on DVD) last night. And yes, it's Telly Savalas.

        1. Tim
          June.22.2012 at 8:43 am

          I preferred his role as the psycho in Dirty Dozen.

        2. Bee Tagger
          June.22.2012 at 8:43 am

          Let's pretend my comment was a typo rather than me trying to make a reference to something I've never actually seen.

          1. General Butt Naked
            June.22.2012 at 8:47 am

            Just pretend that you were speaking of George Savalas. He's Telly's brother and was on Kojak as well.

            Fer realz.

            1. General Butt Naked
              June.22.2012 at 8:53 am

              Okay, after looking up Telly Savalas it is true that he indeed has a brother named Teddy. Fuck.

              See the family pic here, about half way down the page.

              What useful information did my brain delete so that I could know all this stoopid shit about the Savalas clan.

    Why does lady liberty have Opra's body and Mick Jager's lips?

    1. SugarFree
      June.22.2012 at 8:34 am

      Because that's where liberty comes from, the intersection of over-weight talk show host and has-been British rock stars.

    2. Longtorso
      June.22.2012 at 8:40 am

      You attached a real email addr to the name "Troy muy grande boner"!?!?

      1. SugarFree
        June.22.2012 at 8:43 am

        The man is proud of his turgid member. Leave him alone.

      Are those ears? Hair? At first I thought they eyes.

    I see Lady Justice has traded her sword for a bat...Pretty representative of how Congress wields it's power.

  11. Broseph of Invention
    June.22.2012 at 9:24 am

    1) Confusing because "Walking Gun" was a self-issued nickname by both John Edwards and Jose Canseco.

    2) Why are the titles on the backs of the prosecution files? Are you implying this administration communicates in Arabic? I thought you were better than that.

    3) Why are the father and brother from Everybody Loves Raymond leading the prosecution?

    4) Why is lady liberty's face that of a frog? Is this a French reference? Are you hinting at an Armstrong prosecution in lieu of purging America's Favorite Pastime?

    1. db
      June.22.2012 at 9:34 am

      Wait, is France prosecuting Armstrong? Someone needs to sit down with sloopy and let him know this vendetta of his has gone too far.

    2. Nick M
      June.22.2012 at 11:31 am

      Why are the father and brother from Everybody Loves Raymond leading the prosecution?

      I could have sworn one of them was this guy: http://www.toptenz.net/wp-cont.....00x261.jpg

      Mensan,

      'Why is lady liberty's face that of a frog?'

      Here's your chance to confirm our prognosis of OCD and tell us again that: "It's not Lady Liberty; it's Lady Justice (Justitia)."

      1. Mensan
        June.22.2012 at 7:48 pm

        Not OCD; Asperger's.

    Bok doesn't get paid for these, does he..?

    1. Jesus H. Christ
      June.22.2012 at 12:45 pm

      I feel like I've been paying for these every Friday, and I'm going to have to pass it on to someone. Bok seems like the most deserving recipient. My scathing vitriol will tear the electrons from every viewing device on which they appear!

  13. Sam Grove

    So how goes the government's war on justice?

    Among other unfortunate things, http://www.lunettesporto.com/l.....-3_23.html Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter must be the crummiest-looking big-budget movie of the year to date. The picture has the flat lighting of a TV soap opera, and its effects?brazenly fa
