Plus, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but, weren't the women on The Man Show well aware of the fact that they were being paid to be objectified on television? They weren't raped or sexually assaulted, as far as I know, like the Just Nuts guy is trying to imply.

"Rape is funny to me" is a pretty bullshit thing to put into someone's mouth just in general. The cartoonist is also implying people can't change over 13 years.

I mean it still perpetuates rape culture regardless of how enthusiastic and well-compensated the participants were. That's not really the point the cartoonist seems to try and make, though.

Alrighty, here goes the Herblocking. The book is organized by topic. The year is 1968, and Herblock is reflecting on the Johnson Administration's domestic accomplishments. Herblock posted:1. The Near-Great Society 1 The American Medical Association was so opposed to Medicare that they hired a failed actor named Ronald Reagan to record warnings about socialized medicine. 2 3 4 Johnson's new administration got off to a strong start. 5 6 Published the day before LBJ had his gallbladder removed. 7 Unfortunately, a certain dispute in Indochina began to overshadow the Great Society. 8 9 10 11 One problem was that LBJ did not want to raise taxes to pay for the war and his new programs. 12 The Pope is Catholic. Bears poo poo in the woods. D.C. is a transportation nightmare. 13 Do 14 you 15 sense 16 a 17 theme 18 developing? 19 20 And everything was fine after that! Join us next week as we look at Herblock's cartoons on the economy and I find a real scanner.

There's nothing there that says we should ignore his opinions on healthcare and birth control, though. It could be read as "you were willing to publicly condemn taking away healthcare and gun violence, but you've got nothing to say about sexual harassment for some reason..." Isiah has an entire body of work that backs up your opinion on this cartoon, so I don't really think you're wrong. I should have just phrased what I meant as AGC, except there's nothing to flip or parse differently. He's just ineptly stumbled into a valid criticism by being to lazy to spell anything out.

Now, I'm not saying I would pay money for a polo shirt that says "THE MAN SHOW WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO" on the front, but if someone gave it to me as a gift I wouldn't turn my nose up

Is Johnson considered to be a good president or not? Non-American here, and he seems to be one of the 20th century Presidents people don't seem to talk about much, so is he considered good or bad?

He passed civil rights and social safety net legislation but he also massively escalated Vietnam.

LBJ? I'd say he's generally considered good, though the time he was president was marked with a ton of strife that had its roots well before he started, so it's hard to separate his influence out in some cases. He signed most of the major pieces of civil rights legislature, as well as the Clean Air Act iirc, but Vietnam also degraded into a quagmire while he was in charge and he was widely viewed as ineffective in that field. He certainly was a better president than Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush 1/2. Dunno about Clinton. I like Obama better, though LBJ got a lot more stuff done than Obama did.

I honestly haven't been following the opioid crisis, but since there's a ton of cartoons on it lately, I have to assume it's affecting a shitton of white people since they're mysteriously blaming a broken system instead of addicts*. *This is a good thing, but change "opioid" to "pot/crack/etc." and see how sympathetic these cartoonists are about addicts.

The big thing that's led to increased attention in the last week or so was the revelation that Trump's nominee for drug czar (who has since withdrawn from nomination) sponsored legislation that makes it harder for the DEA to investigate drug companies funneling painkillers to illicit sources, after receiving a lot of money from drug companies.

Non-American here, and he seems to be one of the 20th century Presidents people don't seem to talk about much, so is he considered good or bad? Generally positive, but not deified like FDR or Reagan. He was basically amazing on domestic policy and terrible at foreign policy. Didn't know what to do about Vietnam, so just followed to advice of people who turned out to be incredibly wrong about everything. But he helped pass a ton of incredibly important civil rights legislation and strengthened the social safety net. Also he had strong opinions about pants.

There is no way to read this as anything but a criticism of how angry gun people get when the possibility of stricter gun laws comes up, right?
