And guess what happened as of about 4 hours and 45 minutes ago...
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

I think it's implying that just because the goverment shutdown is over it does not mean that USA is fine now. I cannot be sure if this is because the artist feels that Obamacare will destroy it or because the things that lead to the shutdown still exist and the politicians will continue to tear the country apart.

It's from that new Fox show that's a ripoff of Robot Chicken I think.
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.

If the FOX in question is the propaganda channel (O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.) rather than the regular entertainment network (Simpsons, Family Guy, etc.), then this toon might need to be in the Worst Political Cartoons section.

It's so vague. It could be interpreted either way.

I interpreted it as that.

Not the first time we've had vague toons interpreted either way. :P

"It's open but it's not exactly stable" seems to be my most literal interpretation of it.

...Which is accurate, regardless of the source.  Stopped clock and all.

Of course, the disagreement is about why it's not working, which the cartoon doesn't cover.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

RIP Tony Benn (1925 - 2014)

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

“If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.”

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."
