Well done for having a drag queen president, but what an ugly dress.

  Dress? I thought it was a thawb.

Why is the Prez imitating a Senator? Flashback from his drug past?

  He thinks he is wearing a toga and is about to appoint his dog to the Senate.

    "We have appointed our dog, Bo, as consul".

    He won't be able to fit in. He'll roll over for anyone who feeds him, screw anything that moves and whenever he throws up something disgusting, he'll go back to it when after a while even though it's still disgusting.
    
    Oh wait he'll fit in fine.

Isn't it cute how those who have been telling us "patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrel" for the last 50 years manage to get their flag on when they want to pick our pockets?

  I think you're spot on to the message of the cartoon... but whether Payne meant it that way or not is debatable.
  
  Obama is the last person in the US I need telling me how to be a patriot.

    I bristle every time I hear him say, "That's not who we are..." or "We, as a people...", but that's probably just the racism.

      I can't even listen to the sound of his voice anymore without cringing. When I hear it, I try not to listen to the words coming out his mouth, while running frantically to the tv to power it off.

At long last, Payne, have you no sense of composition?
1. Swiss Servator, spare a franc? 11 years ago
  
  Nor shame, apparently.
Almanian! 11 years ago

He has in his hand a blank piece of paper...so...that must mean there are no "known" companies...because....."you didn't build that"?

I don't get it.

Awful. Therefore, perfect.

Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids, and many returns of the day!

OT: For all you ass men (and women):

Brazil's finest assets on show: Country unveils the 27 women set to compete in its annual Miss Bum Bum contest

Donning tiny red bikinis and gold bangles, they pose on their fronts with one particular asset aimed toward the camera.

These are the 27 women who will soon be battling it out for the coveted title of Miss Bum Bum Brazil 2014.

The competition, offering a $22,000 (?13,000) prize and the chance of worldwide fame, seeks to find Brazil's finest example of the female bottom.

  I think Brazil has a lot more searching to do.

    Seconded.

      Some people like 'em big.
      
      I like 'em a little tighter than that, though.
3. SugarFree 11 years ago
  
  I wonder if they are going to let any cis women compete.

  If we ever meet in person I want to shake your hand and buy you a drink for sharing this.

That sheet of paper has all of Payne's good cartoons printed on it.

  Nicely done, JL, nicely done.

He saw a bottle of Heinz ketchup at the breakfast table, so he knows there are exactly 57 "unpatriotic" companies.

I don't get it.
1. Restoras 11 years ago
  
  That's the point...so you actually do get it.
Fist of Etiquette 11 years ago

Am I the only one who made a joke relevant to the context? You people sicken me.

Fine.

  I said something!
  1. Fist of Etiquette 11 years ago
    
    You saw something.

It's painful because it's true.

I think it's funny because wearing a flag as clothing, while not illegal, is verboten by the United States Flag Code. Therefore, Obama, as chair of the un-American affairs committee is in his most fitting role. Bravo!
Almanian! 11 years ago

Wait - "tailgunner" Joe? So McCarthy was teh gai?

I had never realized this before now.

AND THERE'S YOUR "CONTEXT" FIST!

*flips off FoE*

Is he drinking grape kool-aid?

Because some have said that that might be racist.
1. toolkien 11 years ago
  
  Racist? So be it. But I learned something from the brothers back in the day. Back in college I delivered food from the on-campus pizza joint to the dorms - pizza, sides, soda, etc. The brothers always mixed their drink order - some mixture of Mountain Dew with other stuff. That's how I learned ~2 parts Mountain Dew, ~2 parts Fruit Punch, ~1 part Sprite. Drink it to this day. Didn't learn that from mayonnaise eating, bologna smelling crackers.
  
  Now if we're talking purple-drank, then never mind... I get my kick from single-malt highlands, the kind you have to reach up for, not bend down...

How ironic that the American revolution was related to not wanting to pay taxes.
