Even if the chance is quite low, rolling the dice on your child being permanently brain damaged because you couldn't stop yourself drinking for 9 months is kind of a dickish thing to do, sorry!

It takes having two drinks everyday while pregnant for even the mildest symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome to occur; for the more severe symptoms you need to have at least four drinks everyday.

FAS is real and it's bad, but it takes a lot more alcohol to happen than most people think.

I think it's about people bringing pets onto planes in the cabin by having them declared "support animals".

But that's kind of a stretch and it would still inexplicably say "airport" instead of "airplane" so I have no idea.

Yes this, he's saying people can get away with having a ridiculous amount of stuff in their hand baggage and inconvenience other passengers as long as they buy it at the airport.

Also he's a drunk duck. Probably sat next to someone else who bought a ton of booze at the duty-free store, and was jealous.

Welcome to the first week of February in...


Now, as a reminder, I'm posting cartoons from the past week instead of just picking a cartoonist and doing a dump of all their stuff for that month.

1
Obamacare? What's that? In 2008 it was Hillarycare that was the socialist craze every rightwinger hated.

2
Despite the field seeming fairly crowded, the Republican primary was finished quickly.

3
McCain was not well-received.

4
Not received well at all.

5
What's funny is that, about six months later, conservatives would play up McCain's "moderate" views as a huge boon.

6
Poor lil elephants

7
I dunno why Ramirez brought up the crying thing weeks later. Also: why does Hillary want ham?

8
Ramirez is incapable of drawing a human being.

9
Again, Rudy's weird "put it all on Florida" strategy backfired spectacularly.

10
I dunno if Asay every had a formal name for this character, but in one cartoon she was called "Lara Liberal." I doubt this was the first appearance of Lara, but she was one of Chuck's favorite strawwomen.

11
And he would sit there for another four years, still going nowhere.

That's what I'm saying- he actually caught Rubio in the act of reciting "that 25-second speech" and undercut him with a quick "there he goes again," then let him continue while the audience got increasingly uncomfortable. It's the waterboy moment all over again.

Only because Americans are so against changing our voting system to something more modern... instant run-off would work pretty well for American presidential elections, especially if we eliminated the primaries system entirely. It's not perfect, but mathematically no voting system can be. (Notably, you can't meet both Condorcet and later-no-harm)

I've always wondered if the Republicans even believe that there is an actual end point to the seemingly eternal war we've gotten ourselves into or do they just like the idea of spending trillions (creating more DEBT) and killing thousands on all sides so they can feel safe? At what point would the job be considered done?

Just pour it directly into your gaping mouth-hole you decadent slut
Time for a Flashback: 1992!

First from our friend Tom Toles:



Bill Clinton is a good politician, but I wonder how he would do against someone who was as talented at campaigning as he was? Clinton was charming and empathetic, but he got lucky that in both of his national campaigns he was running against a cranky old man. It really helped the "new ideas versus experienced hands" theme that Obama later used so well. Rubio is trying to flip it this year by emphasizing his age while covering up how old his ideas are, while Sanders has some fairly radical ideas that are resonating with the young despite his age.

Here's one from Danziger:




Of course, Clinton's "charming" personality had a negative side as well. Yet he won despite the many scandals around him. This comic seems to suggest the scandals might actually have helped him- at least they got people talking, while no one cared about Tsongas.
