thank you so much

If I would have shot you, it would have been with a meticulously clean firearm

When I went about restoring this old russian rifle of mine, I fashioned a device to clean out the gunk way up in the barrel that regular cleaning tools could not reach because when it comes to clean firearm, I do not fuck around

And then there's this, on the front of the bolt:

look at that gunk buildup there. That's all the way from World War II. I snapped a picture of that shit because I couldn't believe how they let it get that dirty. This is why the socialists and commies will never win -- they can't keep a weapon clean

Nah, only Stalinists let their equipment get that grungy. It's part and parcel to their belief that real equality can only be achieved through incompetence, misery and fabulous moustaches.

Honestly speaking, Communists have this uncanny ability to take crude weapons/weapons platform designs and make a crude product that works amazingly well. For instance, my rifle (a 1939 Soviet Mosin-Nagant) and the ubiquitous AK-47 and the T-34 tank. And in the case of the Mosin-Nagant, they were mass-producing these things long before they had a fire lit under their ass because Hitler was kicking down their gates. And the funny thing is about these Mosin-Nagants, they're not only the most common rifle bolt-action rifle in the entire world, they're the most effective sniper rifle ever produced (or as that fucking idiot Piers Morgan would say, "high-powered".) It's funny how the media and Washington are flipping out over scary-sounding assault rifles where these surplus Mosin-Nagants are being sold nationwide at sporting goods dealers for 1/10th to 1/15th the price of any standard assault rifle.

Absolutely. Consider that the only cars to come out of the Eastern Bloc even worth half a damn were made by tank manufacturers.

Oh, the comic that made the lynching joke.

Why is everything there on its side?

Princess Alice · 2013-01-20 17:25:30

I never understood that either.

It's annoying when newspaper cartoonists do it, but at least they have an excuse because the dimensions they have to work with are fixed.

But you're damn webcartoonist. If you want a vertically-oriented strip, just make a vertically-oriented strip!

Yeah, he's basically using epic levels of misogyny to make a dumb joke about Lance Armstrong's nads.

And that this resulted in a moral decline due to 'female values', suggesting that Muir holds views on gender that most people abandoned in the 19th century.

I can't be the only one who constantly parses this thread's title as "Political Carton".

I parse it as "poghlitkull cahrrtuuuun," pronounced in a ludicrous half-Slavic, half-Middle Eastern accent, with a touch of Japanese thrown in for good measure.

Probably the best method here, but imitating a Speak & Spell is difficult—particularly if it's like that circuit-bent one in I Have A Special Plan For This World.

Princess Alice · 2013-01-20 20:41:24

oh god SPEAK & SPELL

I had one of those as a kid, despite growing up in the '90s; it was a hand-me-down from my uncle

I still remember its metallic-sounding voice and its dim little VFD

Confession: I always liked VFDs and am kinda disappointed that LCDs have so thoroughly displaced them.

So, it's saying Hillary, being a woman, should just go home and be a homemaker instead of daring to take on the world of politics?

Unless I'm missing something here, that sounds incredibly backwards.

It's Kelly.

Obā-san · 2013-01-22 16:46:36

An editorial cartoon drawn by "Kelly", a fictional character; the cartoons are actually the work of Ward Sutton.[51] The comic—the most controversial feature in The Onion[9]—is a deadpan parody of conservative cartoons, as well as editorial cartoon conventions in general.[51] Roughly half of the cartoons feature the Statue of Liberty, usually shedding a single tear.

Quick quick, someone needs to stop that Andy Jackson before he does something outrageous.

Justice4243 · 2013-01-23 16:49:20

Jackson's very existence was marked by all the outrageous things he did.

Though, those things didn't always translate into politics.

Ace Rimmer · 2013-01-23 16:52:54

I don't really get this cartoon, mainly because I live in Euroweenie land and don't see Al-qaida types going to shops and shit.

Justice4243 · 2013-01-23 16:57:08

I guess the idea is Al-Qaida is sort of everywhere and Obama isn't going on a global hunt for them.

But it's not like that was news during Bush's run either, and he didn't really pursue them either.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-23 16:58:04

That's not exactly a common sight around here either.

Honestly if you're going to criticize the president for anything involving his actions against al-Qaida, his somewhat overzealous approach would probably be more apt a target.

Most of the countries listed are in Africa, and yet the artist puts both "Africa" and "Northern Africa" in the background, plus "Benghazi" in huge letters when Benghazi is in Libya... which is in Northern Africa. Also, it's painfully ironic that Uzbekistan is listed given their very creepy cooperation with the CIA in torturing terrorism suspects. Even more absurdly, he fails to take into account just how loose the current definition of "Al Qaeda" is, conflating the relatively tiny Malian organisation of that name with the notorious Yemeni branch and the jumbled mess that is "Al Qaeda in Iraq."

Really, this dude does not understand global politics at all.

Does Asay even think about what the hell he's drawing?

If a strange man comes barging into a classroom and pulls something out of a bag that he claims is dangerous, you'd have to be an idiot not to duck for safety. Yes, he clearly shows it's a marker, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a weapon on him.

Also, the first amendment does not start with "We the people".

it's weird that of the assorted principles our founding fathers laid down, "a right to keep and bear arms" is valued over the pursuit of happiness.

Yes I'm aware those aren't in the same document but that's not the point.

Ace Rimmer · 2013-01-23 17:43:11

Re: Ramirez and geo-politics

Apparently Ramirez is upset that Obama didn't do enough to stop the Lockerbie Bomber from being released.

I think the politicl cartun's approach to politics is to throw any insult they can towards a politician and see which ones stick, with no regard for accuracy. It's why the only depiction of Obama is that of a thin-faced, big-eared, wheedling, lazy, cowardly, manipulative bully.
