    It looks like that guy with the head growing out of his chest is throwing that golden hovertank off balance.

    1. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

      Start the samovar, free Crimea...

      1. SugarFree   11 years ago

        "I myself am growing from the torso of an inbred simpleton."

    2. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

      Ahh... it's a hovertank. Call the EPA. It's smokey exhaust is causing global warming.

    3. Pompey   11 years ago

      Hehe

    4. Doctor Whom   11 years ago

      My hovertank is full of reporters.

      1. Swiss Servator, alles klar?   11 years ago

        +1 scratched record

  2. Pompey   11 years ago

    Obama is really a foolish spendthrift, even this is shocking. A solid gold tank???? He's really an idiot too, gold is judt not that rigid. I expect no more than a day of good service before the internals and the tracks start to fail.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      But - the deformation absorbs the kinetic energy of the sh...*bursts out laughing*

      Sorry, I couldn't finish that absurdity.

      But that looks more bronze than gold to me - it just hasn't had time to develop a patina.

      1. Pompey   11 years ago

        Just get your Snuggie, hunker down, and bask in the warm embrace of Taboola.

  3. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    Speaking of politicians driving tanks...

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      At first I thought that'd be a link to the Dukakis fiasco.

    2. Almanian!   11 years ago

      This is pretty awesome

      "Remember when I said I'd bring the buns? I lied..." Nice 🙂

    3. neoteny   11 years ago

      Ostrich egg? You're from Austria?

      That was pretty good.

  4. db   11 years ago

    Why do so many peoplebtalking about Russia and Ukraine seem to uncritically accept the notion that Putin has any legitimate right to bring all Russian speakers in that area under the.Russian umbrella? Nationalism should be discredited.by.now, but statists continue to.believe in.the.idea.that centralization.of.c9ntrol is.a.good idea.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Just wait db, the next step is to assert the notion that all English speakers should be under the dominian of England.

    2. wareagle   11 years ago

      I'm not sure that is an accurate assumption. More than any 'right' Putin has, most people here seem to be asking why it is our business.

      1. db   11 years ago

        I didntl't say, "people here." I.meant.in.general.

    3. Ted S.   11 years ago

      I finally came to the conclusion this morning that they're a bunch of antianticommunists, and want to see Putin do this so they can poke the people who like the post-Soviet republics.

      And they're projecting that it's the pro-Ukrainian people who are trying to refight the Cold War.

  5. wareagle   11 years ago

    if Payne wants truth in labeling, "steno pool" would be more accurate than 'media.'

  6. Almanian!   11 years ago

    I don't get it.

    Also, awful, therefore, perfect.

    Happy Friday, Reasonoids. In Crimea, Russia comes home to YOU!

    1. sarcasmic   11 years ago

      I don't get it.

      Me neither.

  7. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    No woman tank drivers or reporters? "WAR ON WOMEN"!

    Or does Payne just not know how to draw boobs?

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      I don't know, we can always recognize Obama when he makes an appearance, so he can draw at least one.

      1. wareagle   11 years ago

        +1 uniboob

    2. Rich   11 years ago

      Will, I think you should apologize to Henry. Look carefully, and you'll see a fair rack on the first woman president.

  8. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

    Is the tank's gun some sort of surrogate erection?

    1. Swiss Servator, alles klar?   11 years ago

      ....probably, yes....

  9. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    Sometimes a gun is just a gun.

    This isn't one of those times.

    1. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

      P Brooks'd that one.

      1. Swiss Servator, alles klar?   11 years ago

        Say it loud, say it proud!

        "DOWN WITH THREADED COMMENTS!!!!"

        1. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

          I'm totally down with threaded comments, man.

          1. Rich   11 years ago

            No tanks for the treaded comments, man. They're hard to track.

            1. Francisco d'Anconia   11 years ago

              I see what you did there.

              And I really don't like it.

  10. asadjan   11 years ago

    my buddy's aunt makes $74 an hour on the computer . She has been out of a job for six months but last month her check was $12405 just working on the computer for a few hours. visit homepage............. http://www.mumjob.com

  11. GILMORE   11 years ago

    When I say, "I don't get it"....

    ...this time, I'm really not kidding. Isn't there like a rule were if doesn't make sense after 3-seconds, then either the cartoon is broken, or you've just suffered a major stroke?

    When I say, "I don't want to get it" - well, I mean that just as sincerely as I always have

  12. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    I thought owning your own tank was a prerequisite to posting here?

  13. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

    Blackmail information works just as well.

  14. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    Sherman?

    *sniffs*

    I suppose as an entry level tank it'll suffice.

  15. Cdr Lytton   11 years ago

    You've got to start somewhere.

    Just don't be this guy:

    Greatest last line of a news story in the last month!
