  1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

    If Obama had a son, it would look like that?

    1. KPres   12 years ago

      No, he would look like Treyvon Martin.

  2. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

    Pies two weeks in a row, Henry? You're getting worse than Rob Liefeld was with biceps and camel toe.

    1. Jordan   12 years ago

      The 40 worst Rob Liefeld drawings

      1. WTF   12 years ago

        I just googled that myself.
        Holy shit.

        1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

          I can't believe I hadn't seen that before. My favorite line:

          A fun Liefeld drinking game: take a shot for every pouch he draws on a character. Oh great, now you have alcohol poisoning.

      2. SugarFree   12 years ago

        "How many teeth are in a mouth? Like a billion, right?"

  3. sage   12 years ago

    Why did he write "budget" on Chris Christie's shirt?

    1. Ska   12 years ago

      To describe the shirt and why there's a hole in it.

      1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

        That's not a hole, it's a mustard flavored ice cream stain.

    2. John Galt   12 years ago

      "Wuggums" that sounds Native American. So the woman in the glasses, the mother of Obama's bastard son Chris Christie, must be Elizabeth Warren.

      1. wareagle   12 years ago

        and there's a visual we all needed.

  4. WTF   12 years ago

    Why is the big fat kid called a 'burp'?
    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!!

  5. John Galt   12 years ago

    If Obama and my second grade teacher Mrs McGillicutty had a son he would be Chris Christie. And he would like eating pies.

  6. Jordan   12 years ago

    So this is what 7:30 am feels like. Feels bad, man.

  7. Ken Shultz   12 years ago

    I wish we could somehow communicate to people that the sequester isn't big enough to have a significant impact on the budget, either.

    Even if the sequester happens, we'll still spend more money this year than last year, and we'll still spend more money next year than this year, too.

    Sequester or no sequester, the budget will still grow. Guaranteed.

    1. wareagle   12 years ago

      you cannot communicate to those unwilling to hear the message. Team mentality is so entrenched that both sides are blind to reality.

  8. Bardas Phocas   12 years ago

    Let's Move!
    http://www.letsmove.gov/

    My god! I there is actually a government website for this.
    Featuring that fatass Big Bird!

  9. Drake   12 years ago

    Since when does Congress have a nice rack?

    1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

      Since Schumer got elected? '98 I think?

      1. Ted S.   12 years ago

        1998 is when Schumer was first elected to the US Senate. He was first elected to the House in 1981.

        According to Wikipedia, Schumer has held elective office since the age of 24, when he was first elected to the State Assembly.

        I don't think he's done a day of productive work in his life.

        1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

          Being a wetnurse is productive work.

        2. db   12 years ago

          This is a man who will be lionized some day as a selfless public servant, who spent his life working for the betterment of all. Only back benchers and bitter clingers will ever point out his shameless pandering to liberal causes while enriching himself and his cronies in big business. He will be remembered publicly as a saint at the end of his career.

          Chew on that for a while.

          1. Loki   12 years ago

            Are you tyring to make us all suicidal? 'Cause that almost does it.

    2. SugarFree   12 years ago

      Since when does Congress have a nice rack?

      Seek help. And this is coming from me. Me. Seek help.

  10. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    why are Obama and COngress eating a piece of grey felt?

    1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

      'Cos they've cricked a gozzle in their tinny shags!

  11. Brandybuck   12 years ago

    Is Mrs. Gress sitting in her salad?

  12. Silent Cal   12 years ago

    When did Congress and Obama get together and make a budget?

    1. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      "Uh? um? when a president? needs to prove to a congress that he's actua- When a president loves a congress, and he actually wants to make love, uh, to her, something very, very special happens. And with deep, deep concentration and, and great focus, he's often able to achieve an erec-"

    Anti-troll law in Illinois:

    1. sarcasmic   12 years ago

      Those jerks who wrote the Federalist Papers should have been jailed!

      1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

        Not to mention The Protocols of the Elders of Zion!

    2. Marshall Gill   12 years ago

      Holy Science! Wasn't there a pamphlet written by an anonymous author during the Revolution?

      1. Counterfly Guard   12 years ago

        Yeah, and look how terribly that turned out.

    3. db   12 years ago

      Why can't everybody just say popular things in public? Then we'd never have to throw anyone in jail for sedition. They bring it on themselves.

    4. Ted S.   12 years ago

      Why don't you care about the children?

  14. General Butt Naked   12 years ago

    Payne-ful...

    F-

  15. The Late P Brooks   12 years ago

    Shouldn't the filling of that pie be thousand dollar bills?

    1. Jack the Reaper   12 years ago

      It's blood and flesh...about a pound of flesh. Signifying what each of us as Americans contribute to our all-knowing leaders.

  16. Loki   12 years ago

    This must be what going mad feels like.

  17. Paul.   12 years ago

    Obama should have had a wine glass on the table, containing the blood of the innocent.
