A large and intentional part of Vietnam memorialization is the appropriation of suffering/victimhood for use in rehabilitation those who inflicted it in the first place.

Frankie Boyle is kind of a dick, but I think his explanation of this is perfect:

I know it's minor.. but there's no "H" in music. Like, unless he's working on some kind of different music notation, climbing it goes from G back to A of the next octive up. I know it's a minor detail but it's like, about as basic as music can get if you're going to do an obit to a music icon.

Could be a German cartoonist? B is called H there.

Fox News posted:

Charles Sahm, the director of education policy at the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, is a strong supporter of raising the bar for teachers. But, he said, he�s not a fan of this particular literacy test.

Sahm took the $20 practice exam and thought it was a poorly designed test with multiple-choice questions that seemed to have more than one correct answer.

"I do agree that it's not a great test," Sahm said. "I found the reading comprehension section to be kind of infuriating. I only got 21 out of 40 right."

That's probably what's going on there, especially since Chuck Berry songs tend to have E-A-B in them as a chord progression (three chord trick and all that).

You know it's kind of strange that Obama being Hawaiian didn't become more a thing in cartoons

I wonder how Dan feels about all the doomsdayers claiming that the rapture is definitely going to happen this week and this time it's for realsies unlike the last hundred thousand times

The bog standard response to this is a verse that says the time and day will be unknown, so doomsday prophets are wrong by default. They WILL constantly tell people that the rapture is soon, but keep it extremely vague because they're not stupid and know how to run a long con.

Some conservative cartoonists are noting the crazy cold weather still happening. Others are noting the crazy warm weather. Clearly both mean Global Warming isn't a thing.

I'm confused about this cartoon did he draw it assuming the snowstorm wouldn't happen and then run it anyways after the storm happened? Parts of new york got 3 feet of snow a week before the start of spring.

If the literacy test is anything like those poll tests they used to give to black people in the south, someone should find a copy and post it in the thread so we can have another 20 page derail where 90 percent of the people call the test bullshit while the other 10 percent argue that its a perfectly cromulent test.

I can only assume it didn't snow where the cartoonist is from otherwise I'm confused too. Although "it didn't snow here!" is a super weak argument to disprove scientist.
