New Voters from Mexico. You mean those that their parents came to the United States, and then were born here, making them citizens? Those new voters? Or do you think that anyone can vote, as long as they vote Democratic Party? Or perhaps you mean anyone that came to the country that are Hispanic? Anyone that is an immigrant or has immigrant blood shall not vote. Especially if they vote for the other guy. This pissed me off more than it should, Hope n' Change is just dumb pandering to idiot racists.

And with that, I posted the first year of the strip.

I know I said that I was planning to keep posting these, but in hindsight, I don't know if there's anything more to post. If people want me to keep posting the strips, I might do that, but otherwise I'll probably just end it when this "charming" storyline.
I've been digging the MF posts and would greatly enjoy seeing them continue up to the time of the first SA thread, but I'm not the one scanning and capping through hundreds of feet of microfilm, so.

edit: In past retrospective series, like the Horseys, it was great fun to see the tipping point, where the artist changed direction. In Horsey's case, it was Islamophobia; for Tinsley, at some point he stopped caring about a storyline and actual scenery. But when?? We may never know.

Good point Branco, water is a private thing that stays completely contained within one's own yard and is in no way a shared, or shall we say "pooled," resource. You can pollute it all you want and the pollution will just stop right there at your neighbor's property line. Amazing, really.

"Well son, there is a man who lives in a shack with a hole in it's roof in Florida who spends so much time reading fringe right wing blogs and watching 300 instead of having a real job that he draws a comic strip to vicariously play out a fake social life while begging people on the internet to pay him for naked pictures of his imaginary wife hogtying Obama, who is also naked. That is just one of the many ways your life can be ruined by listening to republicans."


Good thing he included the quotes around "fix" because otherwise how would anyone know that the garden pail isn't going to stop those all-consuming flames? Speaking of, what the gently caress are the flames supposed to represent?

You know, Ted's story about how many women he hosed in college begins to make sense if you assume that all those women only did it because half a minute of an unsatisfying handjob was an easier way to get him to shut up than the far more poetic method of stapling his smug, misanthropic, victim-blaming, ego-masturbating mouth to the interior of his sphincter.

Eh, I read it more as "Hillary is so wildly out of touch she cannot even relate to real problems" which isn't exactly unfair. They were "dead broke" upon LEAVING THE loving WHITE HOUSE according to that crazy boomer sack of poo poo.

IIRC that comment was actually fairly accurate since they had a poo poo load of legal defense debt to pay for upon leaving the white house due to women Bill harassed and the right wing suing them constantly.

I'm sure Hillary will make just as much as Bill for her speeches once she is an ex-President.

Why are all these Republican cartoonists so shocked that ex-Presidents make a ton of money for speeches? Do they think Bush Sr or Bush Jr would make less?

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord made the sea and global temperatures rise. The waters flooded the Israelites and the world changed into one that humans could no longer inhabit. God then revealed with a laugh that his chosen ones had actually been cockroaches and algae all along and we were just something he was messing around with to kill time.

This is going to be the most potent sleeper issue in the GOP primary. I spotted not 5 books (including Ann Coulter) about the illegal and LEGAL immigration menace at the local B&N recently. The term "native-born" and "traditional Americans" gets thrown around a lot in these sorts of books, as if these groups possess magical skills no FORRNER is capable of understanding.

They know that the demographics don't look good for presidential years and they're taking one last stupid nativist stand.

But they were also far more vocal about their disdain for the poor and ethnic. That would be my guess as for the recent schism.
