Vorspiel is pregaming, and nachspiel is either postgaming or an afterparty

Apparently, it is not enough to write "vatican" on the license plate and mention the popemobile: the only way to recognise the driver as the pope is to give him a comically exaggerated mitre (drawn with doubtful perspective) instead of his usual zucchetto.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

As always, Ted Rall miraculously exists at the exactly correct and appropriate level of indignation; everyone more angry cares too much/about the wrong things, and everyone less upset is a stooge for the status quo.

It just occurred to me that 17 year olds today are about as far removed from Bill Clinton as I am from Gerald Ford. Should we really expect them to give a poo poo about his presidency? They probably remember the Clinton administration the exact same way I remember Ford's: reruns of SNL.

I considered commenting with "b-but Pope Franscis doesn't wear a mitra" on the original cartoon, but I was kinda hoping the thread would manage to leave that extremely stupid bullshit be. Futile, I suppose.

Yeah but it works for any age. I don't know about any scandals in the Truman administration but would today's 64 year olds still give a poo poo? I guess I just want all the Lewinski stuff to die off soon so I at least have some idea how long people are going to harp on it. It's been 20 years so I fully expect Republicans to be shouting about Benghazi and her emails in 2037, but it'd be nice if it ended there.

Edit: Apparently Truman investigated the IRS and fired 166 people, but people speculated it was his own corruption?

The Queen cover is a giant robot which has killed a bunch of people, but was only doing as programmed and has no conception that it's done anything wrong. Factory farming is a colossus acting in a similarly automatic way and causing comparable damage.

the contents:

The Tea Party is Team Rocket, and the ACA is Pikachu.

I'm not a personal fan of Zelda, but, can't we all agree that
Although the cartoonist doesn't seem to know how game dev studios actually operate, the underlying point of the arc, that the game industry is still pretty drat sexist, is valid,
and nitpicking the technical details of the industry that the writer has wrong doesn't invalidate that point?

I think the real problem is too many developers trying to force stories into their games.
Doesn't matter what you play as as long as it doesn't affect gameplay and the game is good :c00lbutt:

It's stated in the stupidest terms, but that's a legitimate critique of neoliberal takes on immigration. If the reason you support immigrants is because you don't want to pay for a living wage in your produce, you're implicitly saying that some people should work to support the economic system without adequate payment.

Who gives a poo poo if the author is disingenuous, the argument itself is a strong one divorced from this context. It's an important discussion we should have on the left -- why do we support immigration, and is that immigration just a tacit way of recreating an exploited class -- regardless of right wing meme makers bungling its execution. It's like many other cartoons where we can a) debate the author's stupid argument and b) discuss the topic in a more robust and intellectually honest way.

Oh, and if we're being snippy, it's spelled "fulcrum."

No it's jobs Americans don't want to do, not jobs that pay poo poo. You probably couldn't pay me enough to pick vegetables all day.

We can acknowledge that immigrants constitute a large portion of low-skill workers in this country while also supporting increasing the standard of living for all low-skilled workers.



I don't see republicans trying to help low-skill and low-wage workers as they kill unions and fight against enacting a living wage.
