Is he inadvertently responsible for making filibusters possible?

James Madison opposed anything more onerous than a simple majority vote.

He also started the first opposition political party (which the Founding Fathers originally disagreed with) and said states should be able to invalidate unconstitutional federal laws.

So sometimes things aren't as simple as, "Old time man was smarter than you."

Yeah, I figured they never were. I didn't have the most detailed American history education but it was at least enough to know that the country was born out of all kinds of disagreements and different viewpoints, same as any other human organization.

Where was Tinsley that he discovered the prices for both ripped jeans and bottled water?

On the floor of a bar in his own personal hell. He thinks to himself, what if that last bottle had no booze in it? What if the bartender cut me off, what did I pay for? He thinks nothing of his hard earned tolerance as he slides off the bar stool, his pants catching on something with a audible rip, he looks down at them, and the people walking outside, illuminated by the midday sun and mutters "liberals..."

The font is a mistake. Imho, is too much like how a modern human would publish it.

Fonts are a creation of their era and a modern font contain in itself opinions about the world from the modern world ( mass production, abstraction, easy to use by everyone ).

For something like this... I think something like "Clarisa" or "Some Weatz". Easy to read but elegant, with unnecessary long serifs.

I am not a font expert, so I dunno. This modern font looks out of place.

This is actually kind of a running issue with the newspaper comic industry. New artists can't get a break, because the old ones just don't loving leave. Hm, there's an allegory here, but we'll leave that aside for now. Some of these things are approaching a century old, and are artifacts of their era. Like Barney Google & Snuffy Smith became what it is because it was originally about...well, who gives a poo poo, the point is he visited a town in Appalachia because hillbilly humor was super popular and it jumped on the bandwagon and it just sort of took over, even though nobody's given a poo poo about hillbilly jokes for decades. Barney Google himself hasn't been a regular character in the strip that bears his name for over sixty loving years.

The newspaper comics industry is a hosed up place where inertia is king, is what I'm getting at, and Bill Waterson was wise to go out on a high note like he did.

Or that timeless strip Blondie about the shame the son of a rich industrialist cast upon his family for marrying a lowly flapper.

Next step - convince people that pot criminalization was a dastardly Republican-exclusive plot all along.

that's mostly at the state level though, the Feds didn't expand all that much. Clinton may have passed that crime bill, but you can't say that the Dems have stayed on that path the past decade/

You tend to see both of them in the tech crowd. My partner is finishing up his comp sci degree, and wants to go on Soylent because he finds eating boring, and I used to know an IT guy who would literally talk about nothing but the different syrups and garnishes he was carefully preparing from scratch for his tiki bar at home.

Beetle died at Inchon. The entire strip is a Jacob's Ladder-esque fantasy as his brain shuts down in slow motion.

If I were a better forums historian, I'd even post the edits some goons made of this concept.

Mr. Fish can actually draw and occasionally makes genuinely good cartoons. That puts him miles ahead of Rall.

Even when you agree with Rall, he's insufferable.

I think the point he's trying to make is that Democrats keep trying to find a middle ground and compromise with people who hate them and have made obstructionism their #1 goal, kind of like the left half of Kreider's The Choice comic, except it's Rall so it comes out all lovely and horrible.
