La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for December 30, 2014

It kinda sorta did. Predictably. Of course, over 70% of Cuban Americans disagree with him.

Can they put it on YouTube? Not him talking – just the head exploding part.

Do you have anything else in your queue?

Aw, indie’s back with pedantry and the refusal to understand metaphor mixed with satire. How cute! (And no, this isn’t me being incensed. It’s me being amused at you.)

hm. speaking of a head exploding………

I’m not sure Obama can grant that request…

Rubio’s head is too dry to explode. For that, you need some moisture.

Nothing fails like prayer…

The new republican majority in Congress is already alien enough. I count on them doing nothing for this country.Unless this country is corporations.That’s an interesting idea: “Corporations are America, my friend.”

Let’s see. Agrestic is true to form with her snotty personal attacks

Says the poster who seems congenitally incapable of making a comment without engaging in personal attack. Hypocrisy, thy name is indie. And has been for a long, long time.

Lalo threatens Rubio?

If this rises to the level of threat, I wonder what you were saying about Ms. Palin and her gunsight graphics aimed at Democratic candidates. You must have been utterly shocked! Right?

Only congress can lift the trace embargo.

Which it already partially did back in 2000, with the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act. But my sense is that this is just a mantra you say all over the comic pages to help yourself sleep better at night.

Of course, I have never claimed any higher ground than what I do

Excepting that you criticize other folks for doing exactly what you do. Classic hypocrite—hold folks to a standard that you yourself don’t even try to hold yourself to. Oh, and I’m not holding you to any standards. I’m just stating simple fact—nothing more, nothing less.

So you’re just fine with my transposition asking for Lalo’s head to explode?

You say this as if we should all be shocked by your supposedly incendiary statement. Really, it falls under the category of, “Who cares?”

Alas, I wish it were true that no one would care about Lalo and his strip.

If wishes were horses, etc., etc.

Simple is right. Not correct by any means

No, it’s actually quite correct. And simple truths are often the most powerful. Provided, of course, they are true. Which the fact of your hypocrisy is. And if you’d like to refute that fact, I’d suggest you start by not providing us with so much evidence to the contrary of what you’d like to claim.

Conclusion: Indiethink is definitely a catalyst here.

You’re a catalyst the same way a problem student in a class is—maybe one of those disturbed high school kids? And hey, you’re not particularly unique in that all sorts of folks vocally disagree with each other here. But if it makes your heart happy to think you’re special, have at!

Night-Gaunt seems to have closely followed in Agrestic’s footsteps in that they both have nothing to say unless it involves me.

Um, except as you yourself said today, we’ve been saying all sorts of stuff without your, ahem, “contributions.” So just another story you tell yourself to feel important, eh?

Nothing of importance to say unless it involves me.

Thanks for reiterating my point.

As for your supposed moral outrage regarding today’s joke, well, I’d say that your head has exploded all over the comments page. Thanks for playing!
