Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

Pretty sure the extent of Muir's logic is: Woman who make mystery (googled)---> Bengahzi mystery---> Clinton=Bengahzi---> Clinton=Old Woman mystery---> Please donate.

For the record: Poirot > Sherlock.

Even for Muir that is some awkward art in panel 2. I think it's just supposed to be shading on the gown but the tangents make it look like a silhouette of some alien anatomy under there.

While we'd all love a Palin presidential attempt, everyone knows she does this to bilk the idiots that somehow still support her, and after months hemming and hawing she'll say no before primary seasom starts.

Probably the last time she'll be able to do it.

It's super-weird to have her dress in filmy gowns, too. With her tattoos and her bushy hair you'd expect her to dress in more of a punk-rock style, but I guess she is a Woo-mon and therefore can't help but want to dress all feminine-like.

I'm a great fan! When I watch TV I'm always saying "That's political correctness gone mad!"
Why thankyew!


Australian politics is coming up hilarious lately. We've already seen Tones knight Prince Phillip, it's all downhill from here.



Even noted LNP supporter Murdoch (yes that Murdoch, whose papers were so disgustingly pro-liberal in the last election it was unbelievable) thinks tony's full of poo poo lately.



Though this came out just before Murdoch decided the real problem with the Liberal Party is their chief of staff, Peta Credlin. One of the few women in the LNP, what a coincidence...
:nws:This:nws: is all you need to know about Andrew Bolt, though I also guess he's well-known for writing extremely right-wing editorials cheerleading the LNP and being a general tool.
And Alan Jones is another usually notorious right-wing loon "staunch conservative" who went hugely anti-LNP during the Queensland election last week

Seeing these guys rail against the libs and nats is like living in bizarro world...

Any chance we're going to see anti-vax cartoons from anyone but Dees? Normally I'd expect them all to line up in formation, but most of the right-wing cartoonists seem to be ignoring the story and Ramirez made a legitimately good cartoon where he is clearly pro-vax. Have we finally found the level to which even these assholes won't sink?

It's probably sexism, though possibly with a hint of jealousy.

And could only win it back

By redoubled labour. Wouldn't it

Be simpler in that case if the government

Dissolved the people and

Yup. As the Haggadah teaches: "In every generation they rise up against us." And speaking of the Haggadah, if you want to get your Dry Bones Haggadahs for this coming Passover, you'll have to order now! The LSW (Long Suffering Wife) mails them out from our local post office here in Israel. So if you want to make sure you'll get yours in time, you've got to order now!

An alternate history in which an Israel of sorts was founded after WWI could be interesting. I doubt that the tiny, isolated state would be able to invade Germany, though.

This is actually pretty accurate. If the Holocaust had never happened and Israel did to white Europeans what they're doing to the Palestinians, they probably would be charged with war crimes.
