Obama knows Iran's nuclear "bomb" is actually a hoax/decoy/hollow and can continue participating in parody videos. A surprising cartoon.

Who's complaining about this? Why not just have the tea party guy complain about paying taxes since he didn't get forced government healthcare? I kid, Branco's just an angry rear end in a top hat

Wouldn't the GAY HIPPY LIBRUL probably have participated in obamacare? He wouldn't have to pay the fine because he's destroying the fabric of america with his homosexual values and Obama islamosubsidized that

Probably never, he just hasn't done one of those for a while. Anyway, the irony is probably lost on most of his audience because "American Energy Alliance" sounds like it could be non-oil-related, just a general "we care about energy in america" group. Whereas ITT we know it's an oil interest group because we have a disturbingly strong knowledge of his work  Even if a reader did know the AEA was an oil interest group, they might say "well yeah, he's a member because he clearly cares about 'sensible' energy policy!" On the other hand, there is no excusing his "Americans for Limited Government" watermark on a comic about supporting police powers / going to war/ supporting torture programs / increasing border security / growing the military. That one will never cease to amaze me.

Most likely, the conservative media sphere is acting SHOCKED about the $325 penalty, and being all smug like "those liberals who supported this are probably eating their feet right about now, should have listened to us when they had the chance." And Branco assumes it must be true, the liberals are surely so shocked about getting bitten in the rear end by this! Meanwhile the liberal scum actually got healthcare and aren't paying the fine at all, and the person paying the fine is tea party guy who refused to get coverage because he was too busy being furious about it.

Plague of Hats posted:Because they believe it's either so far off, so far outside of our current experience, or really just not going to happen, that it really does amount to technologist fantasy bullshit. That pursuing it like some do squanders their not insignificant talent in the here and now. Bingo, plus it has the added "benefit" of coloring the average person's already tenuous understanding of science and engineering with unrealistic expectations (which lead to backlashes, etc.).

That's probably a really small percentage of tea party guys. Larger groups are (A) the ones who have insurance through their employer and never should've cared in the first place and (B) the people who did sign up in an exchange but are too stupid to realize that they are "on Obamacare". The latter is about 70% of the population of Kentucky, as is my understanding. e: I am really mystified by Branco's success as a cartoonist. What is it about his cartoons that just seems "off"? He's a terrible, terrible artist. Gary McCoy's art looks more professional than Branco's. Like, his poo poo really looks like KIDDY KORNER KARTOONS but somehow he's taken seriously by lots and lots of people and gets lobbying firms to pay him for his amateur bullshit?

Does anyone remember a cartoon with an elephant with a shield that said something like "AMERICAN VALUES" and Obama was shooting a bunch of arrows that said "BENGHAZI" and "IRS SCANDAL"?

It is really hard to tell how much of Branco's cartoons are his own opinions. I find it hard to believe he has such specific personal opinions that his cartoons sponsored by Energy companies happen to show. Not that that is really any better.
