I don't get that, especially since it saves people from having to pay fifteen dollars for day parking Though in Pittsburgh our bus costs 3.75 back and forth so I can see why people hate riding the bus. If only we had a T System that could extend all the way to Monroeville

xthetenth posted:What did they do? Natasha Connell said building public housing close to childcare and schools would represent a safety risk to students and their families. "I am baffled as to why the government thinks this would be a good idea to put possibly drug addicts, paedophiles and other people with mental disabilities within the same precinct," Mrs Connell wrote. "We want our kids to have the freedom and security of riding and walking to school and after school or on weekends to visit their mates when they choose. We feel that this development is a blockade and a threat to the lifestyle that we had envisaged for our children." On Monday, Gold Creek parents and citizens association representatives Michele Justin and Michael Rush criticised the plans, saying it could bring drug use and crime to area while the government had changed the types of residents. A public meeting also heard concerns about increased traffic and a lack of car parking.

I'll leave alone the most depressing parts of that story (which sadly I know of similar stories close to where I live). Instead I'll say lol at the parking thing, that's like every community meeting I've ever been to is old people complaining about how something could affect "MY parking  "

 Are these people going to be really disappointed when 2016 passes and nothing special happens, or will it be "(R) crisis narrowly averted / (D) torch has been passed, betrayal still ongoing behind the scenes"

Sans fart joke, this is already a really tortured metaphor that barely works, but I technically get what he's saying - Obama "created" poverty. Then the "pull my finger lol" just blows it all apart. He's going to fart on the democrats because he created poverty? He thinks the poor are a joke? He's a goofy but kind of weird uncle (I thought that was Joe Biden though)

An early version of cognitive dissonance theory appeared in Leon Festinger's 1956 book, When Prophecy Fails. This book gives an account of the deepening of cult members' faith following the failure of a cult's prophecy that a UFO landing was imminent. The believers met at a pre-determined place and time, believing they alone would survive the Earth's destruction. The appointed time came and passed without incident. They faced acute cognitive dissonance: had they been the victim of a hoax? Had they donated their worldly possessions in vain? Most members chose to believe something less dissonant to resolve reality not meeting their expectations: they believed that the aliens had given Earth a second chance, and the group was now empowered to spread the word that earth-spoiling must stop. The group dramatically increased their proselytism despite the failed prophecy.

Motherfucker. Meh, she kind of earned that one. As far as anyone can tell, she is precisely 0/32nds Cherokee yet still claimed to be one which may or may not have led to her getting a job at Harvard. (Harvard swears it did not.) Although I'd like to think that dressing her up as the fakest, most stereotypical Indian is making fun of her claims and not Native Americans in general, when we both know that it's both.

This is basically my dad. He's smart, so he can't deny that the invasion of Iraq was anything but a disaster at all levels, and he's not delusional enough to believe that a war that was supposed to take six months and cost a few billions but took 7 years and $2 trillion was just fine until Obama ruined everything. So he rationalizes it by saying Bush's real motive, the democratization of Iraq, was noble and good, and its the Iraqis who are to blame for it all because they wasted the chance that Bush gave them. The only sins we committed were our boundless optimism, generosity, and self-sacrifice that we wasted on the ungrateful.

I think this is the right take. It's possible to do this right:  Although even there, it's probably enough shorthand for Two Bulls and his readers, but I think the comic would benefit from a more explicit 'this poo poo is fake' signal if intended for a wider audience. The difference is that someone like Foden or Ramirez just uses arrows or a big 'ol headdress as visual shorthand for 'Injun' with no further commentary on the appropriation.

During Bush's second term, when wingnut neocons were riding high with bloated Clash of the Civilizations rhetoric, I asked a few I knew whether or not they'd be happy with President Hillary having expanded executive powers that they so wanted Bush to have and use. "No" was always the answer, "but we'll stop that by making sure liberals are never elected." These idiots really thought they'd have a wingnut/neocon White House forever and ever.
