Mister Beeg posted:Another column on the Ted Rall/LAPD thing, from the Observer. quote:To reiterate, the Times has a right to use whatever contributors it likes. If the paper no longer trusts Ted Rall, then it doesn’t really matter what happened on the street 14 years ago. At this point, however, they’ve hurt not only his ability to earn a living today, but by calling him a fabulist, they’ve put into jeopardy his ability to earn a living tomorrow. That’s a more serious matter. loving  He writes this right after relating this anecdote: quote:Ted told the whole room a story that blew our minds. He said that a few years earlier, he had gotten into an altercation on a subway platform with a vagrant. A physical struggle ensued and Ted ended up either pushing the guy or he fell onto the tracks. And the train came, presumably killing the guy. Ted told us this in a very matter-of-fact way. We all asked him, “What the hell? What happened to the guy?” And Ted replied that he didn’t know what became of the guy and had had no choice. and this description: quote:But that’s Ted—he’s an over-the-top guy who views his life as an unending drama with himself as its main character. It can be kind of charming, actually. Ted Rall might be charming in person but there's no doubt that he's a "fabulist" or to put it another way, chronic liar. At this point I really have to wonder if Rall even knows if his stories about himself are true.

The threat of a nuclear Iran is overblown and full of lies, as no one can articulate more clearly and concisely than President Obama, except maybe for multiple Pulitzer-winning, ultra-liberal cartoonist Michael Ramirez. A Good Cartoon. beepsandboops posted:How high is the Tod Rall fictional body count? It turns out Rall himself was Hitler the whole time!

beepsandboops posted:How high is the Tod Rall fictional body count? Getting struck in the head by bricks, being disemboweled by sheet metal, having your arteries slashed with a box cutter while someone crushes your head with a metal bench, being hit by a train. These are all minor and easily survivable injuries in Ted Rall's world. Hell they are so minor that even when they happen in the middle of the day in full view of a crowd, no one particularly cares and the authorities never even follow up.

Mister Beeg posted:I thought this post, as well as a response by cartoonist Clay Jones (who is sometimes featured here), interesting: Owns. Like with Planned Parenthood, the stuff about Iran is published by people that know it's a lie. A bold faced, sky-is-blue lie. Mutually Assured Destruction is still a policy, if Iran deployed a nuke-- let alone even try to get one-- all of their people would die, therefore they won't do it (even Kim Jong-un obeys this rationale). Random find: Yes, Kim Jong Un is receiving an international peace prize from an Indonesian-based organization. This Clay Jones?

Mister Beeg posted:Dang, what news event lead to this cartoon being drawn? Abner Cadaver II posted:The Golden Hill Paugussetts have been trying to get federal recognition since, well, ever. I think it was this armed stand-off, given the date: Yeah, it was right in the midst of the BIA's review of their federal recognition petition and the events surrounding the tax-free cigarette store, which was related to their push to regain sovereignty. People were starting to lose their poo poo over tribes getting recognition because the Mashantucket Pequot had just opened Foxwoods and were using their bingo hall/casino profits to buy back a lot of their old land base, so there was a bunch of landowners complaining about the Indians plotting to take their land and a lot of pressure for businesses and special interests to try and keep recognition from happening so the state wouldn't be littered with casinos. People actually kept up these attitudes into the 2000s, which influenced the BIA into issuing negative findings on the Paugusset's appeal and the Eastern Pequot and Schaghticoke's petitions. Everybody's favorite idiot Donald Trump even came out and said "They don't look Indian to me!" because he feared additional casinos that his Atlantic City casino would have to compete with.

Well, to his credit we did later find that Saddam had WMDs, Chemical and biological weapons to be exact. They were the ones WE gave him for the war with Kuwait

Who is the tall robot in the back? I recognize all the rest. I'm guessing he must be from some Canadian kids show or something. I love the Hitchbot story because it perfectly encapsulates the relationship between Canada and the U.S. Canada creates something cute and neat then the U.S. gets ahold of it and it ends up in a ditch with all its limbs ripped off.
