I went to see what could have Tinsley so up in arms and it was basically the same boring anti-PC "satire" conservatives have been writing since the 1980s and pretty much unreadable if you're sober.

A couple of the DbD commenters have compared the events of the most recent strip with Looney Toon shorts: wily-but-innocent protagonist minds own business, is aggressed against by foolish antagonist, uses wiles to get righteous and hilarious revenge against antagonist. Even Muir's fans realize how formulaic the strip is.

I read about 3 paragraphs and had to stop. It's really bad. The comments, though, are comparing this to Colbert level satire which is really hilarious.

That's Oil Folks! According to CNN: Big energy companies aren't the only ones losing out on the dramatic fall in oil prices. Banks are in the hot seat, too. "Hundreds of banks were forced to shut down in Texas when the state fell into a recession in 1986 during a steep decline in oil prices. That 1980s meltdown mirrors the current drop in prices that carried oil below $45 a barrel this week. Cheap credit helped fuel the U.S. shale boom, allowing countless energy companies to find oil in new places. Banks also capitalized on economic booms in oil-rich regions like Texas and North Dakota. It would only make sense for these same banks to feel some pain from oil's downward spiral. Drilling projects that made sense at $100 may now be losing money, creating headaches for the lenders that financed the expansions. Some highly-leveraged shale companies may even go belly up due to the plunge in oil prices."-more But maybe the oil prices could be part of the new U.S. - Russian Cold War? According to this opinion piece in the Washington Post: Falling oil prices hit Venezuela, Iran and Russia hard "As oil prices continued to plunge last week, it was instructive to watch the disparate reactions of three governments whose whopping losses are likely to produce some of the biggest international stories of 2015. There was the panicked scrambling of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who skipped his own state of the union speech for a desperate world tour in search of loans or promises of $100 oil. He got neither, even as rumors flew back home about whether he would be allowed to stay in office on his return. There was the cool response of Vladimir Putin, whose ministers announced drastic cuts in government spending — except for defense. Russia’s proxy forces in eastern Ukraine meanwhile launched a new offensive."-more Labels: Banks, Cold War, economics, Economy, Oil, oil prices, Russia, Shuldig, Venezuela

  Chip Bok posted:Eli Lake in a column at Bloomberg thinks he knows why President Obama won’t name the enemy. Lake says it’s because many of our allies in the Muslim world share the same beliefs but not the violent tactics of Islamic radicals. He cites a 2013 Pew Survey that says 74 percent of Egyptian Muslims favor Sharia law for Muslims and infidels alike.

Oh great, now I'm stuck with all this money I don't need, thanks Obama  e: I seriously can't parse this any other way than "Responsible White Students who have been saving their loving allowance or something to pay off college (because this is totally possible in 2015 America) now have to find something else to spend all that money on and this is a bad thing somehow"; someone please tell me if that is actually the talking point because

<current bad thing a muslim did> was obviously a sanctioned attack by the Muslim government and if we nuke a few hundred thousand civilians (maybe a million? Adjust for inflation!) in major cities in the nation of Islam, they should surrender and we'll handily have won the war on terror. Only Obama is standing in our way.

Nobody apparently told Mike Lester that I agree with your prediction, though; it fits perfectly with the Tea Party rhetorical oeuvre. (not seeing the Chrono Cross connection though???)

Man writes purposefully offensive article in college newspaper, is fired because college newspapers aren't exactly designed for hard hitting commentary. FREE SPEECH IS BEING VIOLATED! Why can't I publish "gently caress the Blacks and the Horse They Rode in On: An Essay" in Gardening Monthly without being fired, OBAMA?!

If anyone hasn't read the article, Omar's premise is essentially trying very hard to deliver sick burns to Tumblr-style SJWs. He ironically uses "cis-gendered white male" like five times. None of it is particularly funny.

Chief Savage Man posted:Maybe he was fired for not being funny. Nah, if you read it the reason was he was alienating the rest of the staff so they called in the fact that he's not supposed to be working for another newspaper while working on theirs. quote:After his column was published last week, Mahmood tells The College Fix: “I received a call from the editorial editor [of the Daily] telling me that I had created a ‘hostile environment’ among the editorial staff and that someone had felt threatened because of what I had written … The issue had been taken to the editor in chief who procured a bylaw by which I was given an ultimatum to leave the Review or leave the Daily within a week. I was not allowed to know the name of the offended individuals.” He added the newspaper’s leaders are “forcing me to write a letter of apology as a condition for staying on the Daily” and suspended his regular column in the Daily.

Wait so the family and their public school kid are living in poverty and their options are protest or send him to private school? If they are in poverty how is private school an option? Is this a pro-charter school comic, am I missing something, or is this thing literally saying: A. Public school kids are in poverty B. Send kid to private school C. No longer in poverty? I have to be misunderstanding something because no way someone thought up something that stupid. It has to be my interpretation.
