Who the heck is Henry Payne? Where's the regular cartoonist?

Change makes me have the sads.
1. UnCivilServant 11 years ago
  
  I thought Payne was the regular and Bok was the substitute.
  1. Almanian! 11 years ago
    
    They are both substitutes - FOR THE TALENTED CARTOONIST.
    1. Fist of Etiquette 11 years ago
      
      Which is me. Today's cartoon was also a take on healthcare.gov, but it was Tron themed.
      
      Picture, if you will, Obama and Sebelius in those idiotic Tron getups standing in the middle of glowing neon grids and talking about how nice it is to be out of the game and back in D.C.
      
      Also Cash for Light Cycle Clunkers happens.

Thomas Sowell on human nature; "constrained" versus "unconstrained".
1. sarcasmic 11 years ago
  
  Good read. Thanks.
2. Suthenboy 11 years ago
  
  I would gladly live my life as a nutless quadriplegic if I could acquire an intellect equal to Sowell's.
  
  As usual, he nails it like no one else can.
  1. sarcasmic 11 years ago
    
    Give up sex? Uh... no?
3. Bill 11 years ago
  
  Yes, it is a good read. But carries too much of the conservative (religious) baggage with it. All of this about man's tragic, flawed nature does not seem consistent with what many libertarians feel. I see libertarians as more optimistic. So the constrained, tragic view as expressed there does not resonate with me as strongly as it should, although much of it appeals to me more than much of the utopian view.

What does a baked potato have to do with healthcare?
1. Snark Plissken 11 years ago
  
  Duh, a baked potato was accidentally replaced with Kenny's heart by George Clooney.

Obama tweets photo of himself to honor Mandela

  Narccisism beyon parody.
  He makes Dennis Reynolds on 'Sunny' seem generous and humble.
3. Suthenboy 11 years ago
  
  Well, he couldnt get a photo op at Mandela's bedside. What did you expect him to do?

OT: 23andMe agrees to stop selling DNA test kits after FDA's warning.
1. Atanarjuat 11 years ago
  
  I assume a similar warning was issued to National Geographic's Genographic Project.

the 50" monitor may lead to eye bleeding, skin lesions, or a visit from the orthoncologist

What is the significance of a hotdog with holes poked in it, with a hankie wrapped around the middle of it, caught in a web spun by a spider on mescaline? What does that have to do with the fact that Healthcare.gov has been spayed and/or neutered?

And why is Flo (without her red lipstick and white Progressive? work uniform) looking at it?

Inquiring minds don't give a fuck.

Happy Friday, Reasonoids.

What, Bok has a non-sucking cartoon and the next week, BAM, he's gone?!
1. mr simple 11 years ago
  
  They don't tolerate humor around here. Bringing people to the libertarian fold is all very serious business.
  1. Doctor Whom 11 years ago
    
    Oh, so that's why we have the trolls. They supply the comic relief.
    1. Nazdrakke 11 years ago
      
      For a certain value of "relief"
    2. sarcasmic 11 years ago
      
      In the same sense that taking a big shit after being constipated for a week is a relief.

  I know it's not a great comic, but try to lighten up Anonbot, the weekend's almost here.

Excellent commentary on the subjugation of women, especially in the STEM fields, and the subtle use of the many subliminal penises is quite evocative. Truly this screams for the social justice lacking in today's world.

  Screw social justice, I want karmic justice.
