Ramirez is really hung up on the whole Obama as King thing, he wrote an editorial for IBD about it. It's about as disingenuous and petty as you'd think.

Oh Mike, you card

I just...what the gently caress. gently caress you, Ramirez, you disingenuous piece of poo poo. PRESIDUNT IS KING LOL RIGHT GUYS? SERIOUS THOUGH

This thread has finally stared back into me. Last night I laughed uncontrollably at the latest Dry Bones for about 10 minutes. After that, I actually went and looked up Yaakov's Twitter and read the Dry Bones FB page too. I couldn't tell you why I did it. I was giggling like an idiot the whole time.

Is Barack Obama Our First American King?

President Obama will be spending Valentine's Day with the one he loves the most. Michelle and the kids will be vacationing separately.

Political leanings aside, we can safely say that no, Obama is not the first American president to be a king. That fine honor belongs to none other than Gerald Ford.

President Gerald R. Ford was born on July 14, 1913 at Omaha, Nebraska and was originally given the name Leslie Lynch King, Jr.

I'll have you know I worked my fingers to the bone to get where I am today.

Ramirez clearly doesn't get how much of a crutch that godawful instant hatching is, especially when he supplements it with his apparently aimless cross-hatching. It's a mess, but mostly because the hatching makes it incomprehensible. If that was shaded normally, or hell, not shaded at all, it might not be good but it would actually be readable. But he covers it from top to bottom in completely parallel scratches, so none of the shading fits the objects being shaded, and then he takes a pen and just goes to town, with no regard for any form of aesthetics.

Look at that pillar, the pattern there isn't shadow; it's charcoalised cobwebs. And then there's the curtains and drapes, where none of the shading fits or flows, and the effect on the clothes which is just distractingly bad and out of place. You can't really tell what the seals on either side of the picture are meant to be, because they're such an illegible mess. And it all comes together to make your eyes want to vomit themselves out of your skull.

Can he really think this looks good? Or is he using the same self-deceptive "It's just my style" reasoning that Rall uses to explain his stuff?

Holy god the comments:

Ellman48 � 5 days ago −
"But as president, Obama reminded us recently, you "can do whatever you want." It's good to be king."

Everyone knows that the Left gave birth to the doctrine of 'political correctness' and other social abnormalities which contradict human nature. I suddenly realized that one of its most significant contributions to the decline of our culture and virility is "anger management". Rarely do I read an article containing a conservative point of view or depicting some despicable moral turpitude from a Democrat where the writer openly expresses his anger and contempt at the injustice and inequity he has been commenting on. If the Obama's extravagance in spending our tax dollars on personal vacations and luxurious resorts cannot bring people to furious anger than probably nothing can. We have retained very little of the character which made us a great country and a great people. Each decade or so the Left makes us even more like craven sheep marching meekly toward the butcher's block. Once Obama emasculates the military there will be no heroes left to admire or emulate.

Search for "Obama arrogant" "Obama smug" "Obama elitist" or anything like that, and you will 100% of the time get this as your #1 result:

That's why. This single picture from 2008(?) is why every conservative's caricature of Obama has his eyes closed.

It is based on this image:

I have no idea what the context of it is, whether Obama was honestly making a smug face for some reason or he just happened to be blinking during a photograph or got caught mid-sneeze or whatever, but cartoonists latched onto it as the way Obama ALWAYS LOOKS ALL THE TIME!

Mellow Seas: Oct 9, 2012; Can't post for 10 years!

Man, this whole "OBAMA EXECUTIVE ORDERS BOOGITY BOOGITY" thing is really not going to work for Republicans. That's the kind of dry, philosophical criticism that liberals usually try to pull and it's not going to work on swing voters (who would probably respond more harshly to inaction). All it's good for is working the olds and bitter clingers and racists into a fury, which they are already in, all the time. Every actual executive order Obama issues will be popular because, well, he pays people to figure out what the popular thing to do is and listens to them. Like a politician.

Considering the only other talking point I've seen recently is "OBAMA IS DONE FOR, BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE, REALLY THIS TIME FOR REAL" when there's basically nothing left to go wrong for Obamacare and it's already proven it will work as intended. Maybe Steny Hoyer has a point about the midterm elections being winnable for the Democrats, who knows.

I have a feeling that when Bennett has an appointment, he just bangs out something that's sure to make his comment section explode. It's still better than what most people can do when they're trying.

I do wish he'd do more international stuff if there's nothing going on locally though.

I get the idea, Obama's actual spent vacation days aside, that people who bitch about "ARE TAX DOLLURS" don't actually know that POTUS is a paid government position. Or do they just assume Obama's actually the biggest welfare queen in the world because "those people"?

The Godwin parallel.

It's called the 38th Parallel because it's a line that is 38 degrees north of, and parallel to, the equator. It is also border of North and South Korea. If you already drew the 38th parallel, you don't need to draw another NK/SK border, and certainly if your drawing isn't a straight line :psyduck:

Tax dollars go directly to paying government officials who waste it immediately. At the same time, the government produces money from a magical bag and uses it to pay for inefficient services.

These two things are completely unrelated. Taxes aren't used to pay for services, don't be silly.

:downs:

I swear, this is the same sort of logic I used when I was 5 and was vaguely aware my parents went to work for some reason and at the same time aware that they were able to buy food and so on but the two really weren't connected in my mind.
