The economy, Obamacare… How many cars does Obama own?
After cash for clunkers and buying GM… a lot.
And the GOP keeps running them into a ditch.
If the ditch weren’t dug all the way around the parking lot, they’d be able to avoid it.
But he sold GM to a bunch of millionaires at a Christmas discount.
There’s always stock “misplaced” during a reorg.
Ah, the Sean Parker as portrayed by Justin Timberlake gambit.
Poor Dumbo Ears, he’s so disconnected from reality and everything going on around him that he won’t even realize he’s naked after he takes a few more steps.
The Emperor’s New Clothes!
We went from ‘Hope and Change’ to ‘Change and Hope’.
So the clunker was hit by a drone and his robe caught on it and unravelled because it’s knitted … deep
Bok eats artisanal mayonnaise on deep dish pizza.
I prefer Payne’s seasonal Fleshlight commercial.
Hmmm…not bad at all. I find that the best political cartoons are those with the least amount of verbiage. Payne has a tendency to spell things out too much.
Hey?! NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ is a truism!
Don’t eat the purple snow?
Nice legs there, Blocko.
I don’t get it. Awful – therefore, perfect.
Happy New Year (soon), Reasonoids. Also, Happy Friday.
No room for reason.com at the top corner, Bok?

Peoples’ insurance policies were cancelled. And not just one or two exceptions. It happened on massive levels. And the people who are successful whether greatly successful or moderately were informed that they will pay more now in premiums and deductibles to cover the less successful. The tier of plans clearly shows that if you haven’t done well in the world you will be supported by those who have. And when I call this structure of “each according to need” Marxist the backlash commences. What is the definition of Marxism? “Each according to need.” What did Barry implement? Each according to need.
Now if this were really a fair policy I would back Obama in a second. I’m not GOP. But the fact remains the premiums are set to income–those who did better in life must support those who didn’t. Fix that and make it a flat rate and yes everyone pays at a lower rate and I’d back this. And a little FYI–I was a former medical provider and can say the following and know exactly what I’m talking about. The Medicaid patient is the largest abuser of the system.
This has been a whopping failure from the theory to the website. Wait until the employer mandate hits–that’s the rest of the insurance plans and it is the huge majority of those insured.
That new elite will be the Marxists that call themselves Progressives.
