    All the news going on this week and THIS is what Bok finds funny?

    Okay, Lad. Why don't you pass the crayons to Payne and take next week off.

    1. The Hyperbole   10 years ago

      Take it easy on Bok, I'm rather impressed that a grade schooler can get his cartoons syndicated.

      1. Will4Freedom   10 years ago

        Ahh..... That explains a lot.

      God dammit last night caterpillars ate all of my fuzzy gourd (??"?) sprouts. I am so fucking angry! ! Organic gardening is for faggits!!

  4. buybuydandavis   10 years ago

    Trump gets free media because he makes himself available. The Press can't say no.

    1. DJF   10 years ago

      So the Press are sluts not whores?

        Aye.

        Why can't they be both?

  5. Libertarian   10 years ago

    This is why we can't have nice things.

    "Why don't normal people run for president?

    Can't we have some better choices?

    Bloomberg Politics reported Tuesday that Kristol was looking at David French, a National Review writer and Harvard-educated constitutional lawyer who served in Iraq and earned a Bronze Star. French is almost completely unknown to the general public, but at first glance, anyone would regard him as the sort of accomplished, upstanding, idealistic citizen who ought to try his hand at electoral politics.

    So what happened? Without anyone waiting for confirmation from French ?" without even waiting for Kristol to confirm that he was trying to persuade French to run ?" the Washington political establishment started digging for dirt."

    1. WTF   10 years ago

      It's pretty safe to run for office if you have a "D" after your name. The press seems quite incurious about any baggage Democrats might have.

      1. Doctor Whom   10 years ago

        This. Once, a local Team-Blue politician was caught driving a car that turned out to have expired registration. A police spokespig said that there was no way at the time to determine the car's registration status. The press reported that as the most truly true truth ever, even though anyone who has ever owned a car knows what bullshit it is.

      2. Pay up, Palin's Buttplug!   10 years ago

        Maybe libertarians should start running as D.'s?

  6. DJF   10 years ago

    Trump? Trump, who is this Trump fellow?

    If he was of any importance I am sure Reason Magazine would cover him and since they haven't, then I can safely ignore him.

  7. Libertarian   10 years ago

    Can't link the twitter pic, but I've just looked at some stoopid looking (Che shirts, tattoos on knees, etc)people who have been protesting Trump in California. If Hillary were smart (ha!) she'd be calling for these protests to stop. Not only would she look mature and rational (to some) but these freaking protesters are the best thing going for Trump right now.

  8. Swiss Servator   10 years ago

    *pours out coffee libation for sage*

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!

    1. Pompey (91% LOLLOLZ)   10 years ago

      Sage , you say?

  9. superuser   10 years ago

    So what happened? Without anyone waiting for confirmation from French ?" without even waiting for Kristol to confirm that he was trying to persuade French to run ?" the Washington political establishment started digging for dirt.

    1. KerryW   10 years ago

      The squirrels are getting creative.

  12. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   10 years ago

    More like "Stupor User", amirite?

  13. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   10 years ago

    OK, late again.

    I don't get it. Awful, therefore, perfect.

    Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you happen past a Trump rally by accident and are "necklaced" by a radical group of leftist protesters invisible to the media. Obama, Hillary and the press will blame Trump for the "protestors'" acts, but I blame Bush.

    Also, fried chicken.

    1. Brandybuck   10 years ago

      Booosh is always to blame.
