    The Constitution isn't a suicide pact, traitor.

  2. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

    When posting a Twitter pic is what passes for posting an article your editor in chief is a lazy bastard.

    Ok, actually that one's quite good, and it's the weekend, so I'm giving you a pass.

  3. mr lizard   11 years ago

    They forgot to draw a caricature of my boss in the background

    1. darius404   11 years ago

      You work for the President?

  4. The Late P Brooks   11 years ago

    The Guy Fawkes mask thing needs to go away.

  5. The Immaculate Trouser   11 years ago

    A B&W Guy Fawkes picture offers a pretentious quote and silly over-the-top French Revolution imagery tied to current politics. Gee, I hope r/politics and teenagers on the Democratic Underground are OK with you stealing their shtick.

    Just busting your balls, Nick. It's the weekend; have fun everybody.

      ------spills cranberry juice all over ur trouser------

      1. The Immaculate Trouser   11 years ago

        DAMMIT!!!

    2. Corning   11 years ago

      a pretentious quote

      Not really.

      It is true, we are ruled by criminals.

  6. Corning   11 years ago

    Lionel @LionelMedia ? 2h

    No one cares where you are except your burglar.

    Your robber cares also....as does your government but that is being redundant.

  7. Winston   11 years ago

    The lack of self-awareness in this image is stunning.

    1. Cytotoxic   11 years ago

      Care to elaborate?

      1. Winston   11 years ago

        Well first of all Guy Fawkes was a Catholic Theocrat.

        Second of all The Jacobins were engaged in mass executions of political opponents and engaged in conscription, were pro-war and engaged in the brutal suppression of dissents and suppression of the constitution which they justified as a war time necessity.

        1. Vulgar Madman   11 years ago

          As for the Fawkes thing, he means something
          else now. Stupid image though.

  8. Thogek   11 years ago

    That quote is great.
    That image is horrible.

    Be careful that one does not drown out the other. 🙁
