And I seriously don't get this. Like, I get it, but in the same manner as calling somebody gay or Muslim like it's an insult, the delivery doesn't compute. Our best news does come from comedians. What difference does it make? poo poo, the best source for news is The Onion, because they're the only precognitive news outlet in history.

Also, Jon Stewart and his alumni aren't standup comics. They all sit at a desk.

Most of them got their start in stand up I think.

I still don't know what he meant with that comic. I guess he is insinuating that TV news is a joke and newspapers aren't but delivered the joke badly on top of it not making a difference.

Context for these good cartoons:
That's Turkey's president Erdogan, the light bulb is his party's (AKP) symbol. A horrible, deadly suicide bombing killed 95 people at a peace rally in Ankara, Erdogan's response has been predictably lovely.
Latuff is comparing the AKP and ISIL.

Context for the last one is that Turkey blocked Twitter and Facebook following the that suicide bombing, hence Erdogan macing/spray painting the Twitter bird.

Wasn't the rally also one for his political opponents, as well as calling for a reestablishment of ties with the PKK? I've been hearing a lot of hypothesis' that Erdogan was behind the attack.

It was a rally for restarting/continuing the peace process with the PKK (believe it or not, starting a Turkish-PKK peace process was what Erdogan was originally elected on), so of course Erdogan's response to the bombing is to order more airstrikes on the PKK, because that makes perfect sense in bizzaro world.

It's likely ISIL was behind the attack (it's their MO, and they're a bunch of stupid, insane fuckers), but Erdogan is using the bombing to his own political ends. A similar ISIL bombing happened at another peace rally happened in Suruc, and that was what lead to Erdogan to restart the war with the PKK, which is also nuts.

Now you'd think "wouldn't it make more sense for Turkey to go after ISIL, not the PKK"? Well, welcome to Turkey, logic left the building a while ago.:suicide:

Have you not been following his gleeful entry into the Syria mess? He's totally not that smart. Putin's likely to wreck himself and the house while accomplishing nothing of value, and Obama is right to look skeptically on Putin's "handiwork." AGC.

It's a reference to how randomly unlucky and downtrodden the main paper dollies are. You know, the ones who have high level government allies at home and abroad, pay no taxes, have magically enhanced super diplomatic immunity, and are constantly bailed out by and given resources to pursue whatever they desire by various wealthy relatives. Those poor souls.
