Tiny Flying Dinosaurs

Both in terms of budget and education, Sesame Street deals in nickels and dimes — which Romney would take from them in an effort to pay off the multi-trillion-dollar national debt. This would all but kill the former while having no appreciable effect on the latter.

The fact that this bad math appeals to Romney, let alone a segment of the voting public, is proof of the enduring need for Sesame Street. A good cartoon.

Look at that drawing of Romney and tell me this isn’t what that cartoonist actually meant. He looks ridiculously evil.

Lisa Benson candidly admitting that only white people have a choice of opportunities in this country, even if Republican promises of prosperity through self-dependence are ultimately flat. A good cartoon.

further more, due to the size of the balloon/opportunity it requires a massive amount of helium to fill; an increasingly expensive gas that only few can afford. There is also a ridiculously small number of balloons/opportunities available, meaning that only a very small number of rich white people have access to them. a very good cartoon.

Furthermore furthermore, helium is increasingly expensive because due to ‘small government’ policies, the United States sold off its helium stockpile, artificially depressing prices with the result that the world’s helium was squandered on worthless balloons.

Which is, uh. There’s a metaphor to be made there somewhere…

With this cartoon Eric Allie forces the viewer to step back and recognize any unconscious racial bias they may be holding: The old woman has clearly described an elephant, the sketch artist has clearly drawn an elephant, and anyone remotely acquainted with reality knows that Obama’s cuts to Medicare 1) apply to providers, not patients, and 2) are earmarked for reinvestment — hardly a bank heist.

But when you see a black man outside a bank holding a bag of cash, what assumption do you draw? What does that say about your own preconceptions or, in the larger picture, Republican campaign strategy or the mindset of the average police officer? If you’re not chilled by such pervasive underlying prejudice, Allie intimates, maybe you’re part of the problem.

A damn good cartoon.

People should start sending things like this in to their newspapers’ letter pages.

An actor who became a dimwitted, superficial politician or a dimwitted, superficial politician who became an actor: Paul Ryan sure has a lot of potential. A good cartoon.

Paul Ryan will either be a ridiculous embarrassment who completely fails to get elected, or his election will cause America to adopt foolish economic policies with disastrous long-term effects, sweep the rights of LGBT people and other minorities under the rug, and become involved in a series of illegal and despicable acts against sovereign foreign governments. A good cartoon.

Why is that woman getting married before the other eligible bachelorettes? Maybe it’s her lowered standards, or maybe he’s just really turned on by her willingness to let him watch while she fucks a lot of workers.

A good cartoon.

Man I can see why David gave up on AsayExplained when Chuck Asay is throwing softballs like “The Right To Work State”.

I bet he was listening to this when he drew this cartoon:

Like the Albatross in Coleridge’s poem, Obamacare is a good omen unless somebody were to kill it. It would then become a curse, a fate worse than death upon the head of its murderer.

A good cartoon.

The state of Arizona would declare open season on illegal immigrants, literally hunting them down and shooting them, if not for the federal government’s obstruction. A good cartoon.

My favourite cartoons this blog posts are the ones that actually make more sense the way they describe it.

I mean honestly if I’d seen this cartoon anywhere else I’d have assumed it really was left-wing. (Well, maybe it is a little clearer than that what the cartoonist was going for. But still.)
