Cat Mattress posted:"Kill them all, let God sort them out" originates as the apocryphal quote attributed to Arnaud Amalric during the massacre at Béziers. The likelihood of Sarah Palin knowing the history of this sentence is nil; but Animal Nuz could have looked a bit more into if they felt the need to explain the reference. I thought it was just something that everyone's grandpa said when foreign policy was brought up at a family gathering.

And just like that, we're going back to... This week we take a liberal break. Clay Bennett  1Bennett didn't seem to be that active in January, at least regarding the primary. Fred Thompson hype did sure amount to nothing, though!  2This could be run literally any election year and be relevant. Disappointing work. And that's it! But don't worry, we got plenty of cartoons from... Ted Rall   3In 2008 being aggressively Christian wasn't as big a detriment to your campaign as in say, 2012, since Bush made the world a safer place for fundamentalism. Huckabee took advantage of that.  4Everyone is goddamn Hitler. Also Rall doesn't draw people, but Tyrannosaurus Rexes.  5Rall originally portrayed Bush as (surprise!) Hitler-esque and for Obama gave him a Hello Kitty logo. He was very proud of this, to the point where he tried to sue someone else for using it. Yes: Ted Rall tried to sue someone for using a character that he was stealing to begin with.  6"Random squiggles on his face look like wrinkle, right? Right???"  7"All candidates have the same opinions," said Rall with the wisdom of a fifteen-year-old.  8Rall was basically VERY quick to be the cool contrarian kid.  8Why do anything, really.  9Such a burden, being so much smarter than everyone. And our special guest is none other than TIM KREIDER! Did you think I'd let it end with Rall?  10TIm won't get real active in the election stuff until later, so enjoy this one-shot cartoon. As you will see, a running gag all throughout the election is Kreider's annoyance with people pointing out how much he looks like Edwards. Next Week: January closes out with a smattering of cartoons I can find from other people. Pants Donkey fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jan 23, 2016 |

That's because drones are a big concern trolling opportunity for the GOP. If a republican was doing it he would think it's a great way to limit civilian casualties in a necessary war but since it's Obama it's a violent overreach of power. Granted, there are liberals who have the exact opposite shifting opinion as well.

Come to think of it I'm not really sure whether Jeb!, Christie, and Kasich are actually moderates or if it just seems like they are compared to the alternatives, but they're certainly not doing anywhere near as well in the primaries as the Tea Party crowd are

Xanderkish posted:I laughed heartily at this and cannot explain why. Adam's comics are often written with a lot of the same timing and pausing for emphasis as traditional comics. In a lot of ways he's very good at what he does, it's just that all the things he says are very stupid. He has a formula and he sticks to it. That formula just makes for easy jokes.

Way back when I was in 7th grade or so, I remember seeing in my science books an entry on Things People Used to Believe. One of those things was that men carried all the genetic data for a baby in them, and the baby was fully formed but much smaller inside the sperm. The man would transfer the baby to the females, since they had important Man things to do and couldn't waste time being pregnant. My point being, it wouldn't surprise me if this is what Adam believes, and that's why abortion at any point is automatically equal to killing a fully developed toddler.

the_steve posted:Way back when I was in 7th grade or so, I remember seeing in my science books an entry on Things People Used to Believe. This is a common speculation in some feminist circles. The idea is that because there isn't a physical evidence of the egg like there is for sperm a lot men cannot shake the feeling that it's their contribution that really makes pregnancy happen which gives them the right to decide how it should proceed like a farmer managing their crops. Also the whole baby/not baby thing is irrelevant. We don't have mandatory organ donation for unquestionably living people, why would we for fetuses?

I wonder where and when that was a common belief since Henry VIII blamed his wives for him only having girls since he, a pinnacle of masculinity, could never bear only girls.

Even if it was a commonly held belief in Henry VIII's time, I don't know why you think he'd consider himself beholden to it. Anyway I heard that back in the day they thought you could grow a human by injecting semen into a cucumber.

Henry actually did have a couple of sons; they just died in infancy a lot. He divorced/killed Catherine and Anne Boleyn because they were failing to give him children at all, both having multiple miscarriages.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Probably because he was much older than them and the sperm of an older man is more likely to result in a pregnancy that ends in a miscarriage: http://yourfertility.org.au/for-men/age He was younger than his first wife by a few years actually. I think the problem is a lot of people see the portrait of him as an old fat dude and go through the wives and they get the impression that it all happened at the same time. Henry was 17 when he married Cathrine of Aragon who was in her early twenties by them, and they didn't divorce for 24 years. She had multiple still births and a few children that died in infancy, excluding Mary, and was well into middle age herself when he asked for a divorce. The next five marriages happened over a span of around fifteen years. It kind of bugs me that the story everyone gets told is that Henry went through wives so much because none of them were able to give him a son, when it's really more like he let his minister use his love life as a political football with the excuse that it was about securing a male heir, until it wasn't and then it was just about satisfying his desire to have a wife.

Sagebrush posted:Anyway I heard that back in the day they thought you could grow a human by injecting semen into a cucumber. I think that might be a mistranslation: Paracelsus posted:That the sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest degree of putrefaction in a horse’s womb, or at least so long that it comes to life and moves itself, and stirs, which is easily observed. After this time, it will look somewhat like a man, but transparent, without a body. If, after this, it be fed wisely with the Arcanum of human blood, and be nourished for up to forty weeks, and be kept in the even heat of the horse’s womb, a living human child grows therefrom, with all its members like another child, which is born of a woman, but much smaller. Depending on context, "cucurbit" can either mean the lower half of an alembic or a particular genus of gourd. But since the cucurbitae genus is native to central America and Paracelsus was writing in early 16th century Switzerland, he was probably referring to glassware.

Jerm and Gado aren't actually racist, much more slides when the author lives there. How often do authors grotesque caricatures of white people get accused of being racist if she lives in a nation with a majority of that race? Some of the worst American cartoonists get posted here, if they were foreign cartoonists, their drawings of people like Jimmy Carter would likely be called racist. This owns. Snyder sucks, Reaganomics sucks. The three-eyed fish Simpsons reference is ill fitting since-- unless I'm mistaken-- Flint has no radiation problems. That's Dees & Fukushima territory.
