*facepalm* Is the innuendo there intentional? If so, why?
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

1) I highly doubt that it is.
2) However, if it was, it would likely be trying to say that the media fucks the legal process while condemning the accused before trial even begins. Which be a fair point for some cases, but not this one.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I thought Umbert the Unborn was supposed to a parody or something.

Oh, well. I'm so desensitized to this shit that I'm just taking notes on different cartooning styles now. That's right, I prefer to look at the artistic merit of shitty political cartoons.

I wish. But there was that one parody I put in NSFW. If it was a parody it would have had much more potential.

Re Lexi's cartoon: I got two problems with that one...

1) Over-fucking-use of god damned labels.

2) "Lies."  Hahahaha, aah...shiny.  Fucking.  Mirror.  Polished to perfection by the tattered clothes and sweat of the poor.

Well... the labels prevent you from having to think up a metaphor... or maybe it's assuming your audience just won't get it without them...

I also like the "Buffett Rule only raises $47 billion."  Oh, its only 47 billion dollars...that's asswipe money.  Perspectiveless fucks.

In fairness, that 47 billion against trillions of dollars of budget and debt. It's still short sighted, since every bit helps, but if I do my estimation correctly that would be like a regular person making $47 to pay toward a debt/budget in the five to six figure range.

Kinda curious as to what actually killed those animals. Was it wanton cruelty, as the author seems to imply, or something a bit more “Circle of Life”-ish?

For a sec, I though the cops were causing the man's wrist to actually bleed.

Is there a specific case this is aimed at?
