But, but, it’s a POLITICAL cartoon! You can’t slant it any other way! Maybe if it was a funny animal cartoon you could give it a funny slant, but here…?
Snerk! (did I spell that correctly?)Happy holidays yourself, good sir. Yours are among the most erudite comments I see, and frequently witty to boot. They are enjoyed and appreciated.
Yup. Myopic, all right…. Political reality? Guess I’m votin’ fer the black guy again…Everybody else is just stupid. Conservatives are giving the American people a bad name…What’s up with that?
I guess it depends where you view the comic from. If you’re in the crowd the sign is on the far rightIf you’re the lecturer the sign is on the far left.Either way, it’s correct.
Dogsniff is just a dog with an old bone on that political comment of his. Best to ignore it. This government was supposed to be of, by and for the people in its original conception. It has become one that is made up OF billionaire capitalists, BY billionaire capitalists and it makes decisions about how we run the country FOR billionaire capitalists.Only such a government could cold bloodily and with a straight face, deemed corporations to be people. That’s a disgrace that will go down in history as an example of what happens when a plutocracy replaces a democracy. There’s no doubt who the extremists are, they’re the ones who say it’s okay to throw old people and families out of their homes and to deny them healthcare and claim that they’re only getting what they deserve. Dogsniff is a misguided child who is just trying to cloud the issue and Wylie is probably the BEST political and social cartoonist working today. Thanks Wiley!
Absolutely right. It’s a shame a lot of people don’t get that the president is under pressure by many small groups that actually run the government (oil rig owners, CIA, think tanks… all with guns pointed at him, saying, “you’d better do it our way or else..”). Then, he comes and makes his speech to the American people: what can he say but, “yes, yes, uh, plans that I had before I entered are (kinda) being worked on…”. That’s really the best degree where gonna get…The outside surface is just political entertainment.
My son earned an undergraduate degree in Poli Sci. As a Sophomore he was already active in the politics of the community the college was located in. As a Junior he received a national award for his work during an election campaign. While he graduated with a decent GPA, he found himself at odds with his professors because they were teaching theory (fantasy) and he knew the reality. He had his Masters in Public Policy and Administration at the ripe old age of 25. And yes he has a job in his field of study.
@TheTrustedMechanic Yes, and it’s funny how we always seem to buy into their bull… “Redumlicans”, awesome! Goes right up there with my “corruptoration” or “corruptoratocracy” term…
Now, let’s see, what can we do about this…
Um, “our hands are tied…”. Wait, well, with Occupy their may be hope, maybe it will raise public awareness… :) Occupy Wall Street= Santa Claus… Muhahaha…
You know, I seem to get few responses to my posts… Must be the beautiful red mane…Well, it distracts me too… (But, hey, with KimPossible ANYthing is possible, she maintains her hair, her digital accouterments AND saves the world!). Awesome!
(I do, however, think a cop w/ pepper spray photo would likely be more appropriate for THESE posts… Hehehe… :)).
ROFL! My son just took his Poly Sci final (essay test), and called to report that after his 13 years in our military, serving around the world in several “capacities”, his response was pretty precisely what’s written on the board, especially with regard to “foreign policy issues”!!!
you men in “lock step” formation? isn’t that what all governments want? That is why the Constitution was written – to save the citizens from the government.
This just in;Idle: Can I just say that I’ll never appear on television again?
Cleese: No I’m sorry, there isn’t time, we have to pick up a few results you may have missed. A little pink pussy-cat has taken Barrow-in-Furness — that’s a gain from the Liberals there. Rastus Odinga Odinga has taken Wolverhampton Southwest, that’s Enoch Powell’s old constituency — an important gain there for Darkie Power. Arthur Negus has held Bristol — that’s not a result, that’s just a piece of gossip. Sir Alec Douglas Hume has taken Oldham for the Stone Dead party. A small piece of putty about that big, a cheese mechanic from Dunbar and two frogs — one called Kipper the other not — have all gone ‘Ni ni ni ni ni ni!’ in Blackpool Central. And so it’s beginning to look like a Silly landslide, and with the prospect of five more years’ Silly government facing us we… Oh I don’t want to do this any more, I’m bored!
Palin: He’s right you know, it is a bloody waste of time.
" Why can’t we make a political strip funny? Well?"It seems to me that anything political must be funny… after all, everytime I think about our government I burst out laughing.(though I probably should cry)
Very accurate. Seems that the moderate has no chance these days. Must be one extreme or the other. Had someone tell me once that Politics was a circle, that it was possible to go so far in either direction so as to appear to be the opposite extreme. For example Naziism and Communism. Opposing extremes, looking very much alike.
