I'm fairly certain Rall's opinion was to either not vote or vote for Romney so things get so lovely and backwards that people rise up and revolt (with Rall as their glorious leader). It's a common suggestion that just coincidentally happens to be frequently made by white people with comfortable jobs that aren't really at risk if a Republican decides to gently caress over the country. EDIT: It was "don't vote."

Again, like half of the those seventy "armed agencies" keep around five officers to aid the Inspector General. To a section of the right-wing blogosphere, this means that the Library of Congress has drones ready to bomb our loyal Tea Party Patriots.

Wait, Muir didn't copy that from an actual armored postal vehicle? I think what he's saying might not be true. I'm going to google postal-tank and see what I find.

Of course Fish and Game and BLM are going to have armed officers, a huge part of their job is patrolling wide swaths of federal land making sure nothing illegal is happening. Are they supposed to bring people into custody backed up by only their winning personalities?

Gonna take a stab at the reality version of this, if the Library of Congress even was part of the 'mass ammo buy' it was like, what a box for their security guards' guns, and the rest of those 70 agencies are guys like ICE and ATF who, ya know, use bullets?

I don't get how Muir can go from wanking off to the military doing incredibly questionable things and getting a boner anytime mentions racially profiling Black/Middle Eastern/Mexican Americans, but then simultaneously be paranoid that these government agencies are "going too far" and becoming overly militarized.

A bunch of the federal regulatory agencies now have fairly extensive armed response units because they have to carry out enforcement actions, and for some reason, a lot of the people they have to deal with are rabid fringey anti-government nutcases. The FDA has a bunch of armed agents, basically swat teams, because they were getting inspectors shot at or just plain shot when they tried to get a factory to demonstrate they weren't putting growth hormone in protein shakes or what have you.

The Department of Energy runs nuclear facilities and you'd better believe the guards there are armed. This is like the blowup over how many rounds of ammunition the federal government was buying.

But he wrote this sentence, and they mean he is politically dead to me: “Obama still has some respect for the truth.” Ahem: “If you like your current healthcare plan, you can keep it.” This whole piece is so smug, pointless & disingenous ("We are paying attention to these vacuous celebs, um, why?") I bet Rall could sub for Jonah Goldberg from NRO's The Corner and nobody would notice.

The perspective on that armored truck is all kinds of hosed up. I know he's just shoving a traced image into the panel, but usually it isn't so immediately obvious that it doesn't belong in there.

Chantilly Say posted:The Department of Energy runs nuclear facilities and you'd better believe the guards there are armed. Uh, I think you'll find it was made up by Fox and never retracted that it was The DHS buying millions of runds of hollow point bullets and thousands of tanks. Spatula City posted:Tom Cruise is a horrible person and one of my favorite actors. Couple pages ago, but Tom Cruise is not a horrible person, he is a worryingly easily misled one. Its not his fault he got brainwashed by a cult - he should have your sympathy for that, whether he realizes that or not. And by all accounts, when you do not bring up religion, he's a standup guy. He once saved a woman who had been hit by a car, followed her to the hospital, and personally paid all her medical bills when he heard she was uninsured. The_Other posted:Been meaning to post this pic, as it relates to Putin's penchant for going shirtless. That was made by one of the artists at Rare, wasn't it?

Muir writes about mailmen wearing body armor to protect themselves from people like Muir. Best cartoon ever may have been declared too soon. What is this? Please tell me it's not some cookie-cutter ANCHOR BABBIES comic.

I'm assuming it's an inscrutable New Zealand Politics cartoon that is bizarrely borrowing a term from early 20th Century US politics.

It's a reference (I think) to a proposed extension on the 'Working for Families' policy - People earning below a certain threshold receive government support (Usually cash) based on the number of children they have. The [L] fellah is some forgettable Labour (Leftish-wing party) shmuck, while the dude with an [N] and the jew nose is John Key, our right-wing Prime Minister and Nixon wannabe.

pd187 posted:I bet Rall could sub for Jonah Goldberg from NRO's The Corner and nobody would notice. At least Todd is aggressive in his assholery. Jonah's contribution in that regard is halfass trolly one-liners, then making up some excuse (usually "I'm on deadline"- for what, who knows) why he can't respond to critics destroying him. Rall is many things, but Jonah's level of laziness isn't one of them.

 Political cartoons are a lot better when you blast remixed versions of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" over them.

I know people mention this again and again but it's just such a perfect piece of doublethink that decadent western liberals are such effete hippies that they'll crumple in the face of strong horse jihadist sharia law, but they also are militarising every government organisation for their secret atheist army.
