    1. Smoking weed isn't the main reason I want to go to Colorado and you damn well know it
    I bet its to see the funky roads in Colorado, I know your game missy.

    ^^ They actually did vote for statehood in the end. It's now up to Congress to approve it.

    The prospect of adding a 51st state should be more exciting than it is, somehow.

    move along, move along, just to make it through

    Woo!  New state!  Changing the flaggy flag of flagness that is of the America of States of be United!

    And, Obama won, which is okay, I guess, because I didn't want Romney to win, because of all the nasty things that that would give people an excuse to say about me religion of religious religiousness of the me who is of myself.

    Heh, Huffington Post didn't bother to update the color on Florida. I wonder if they where being lazy or joking.

    Not like it going to Romney would matter much at this point

    Hey, remember we passed legalizing marijuana in Washington, too. Left that out of the recap.

    Aw shit. I get to be more open about it without looking totally skeezy.
  • I doubt it being legal will really change public opinion of stoners.
  • i thought public opinion of stoners was "dude you have around and ask for snacks from"
  • I dunno.

    My town is divided into three camps, stoners, rednecks, and people who can't stand stoners or rednecks.

    So I suppose I lack a frame of reference, here.

    I don't know that I smoke enough to be a stoner. I smoke like, about once every three weeks, and only ever with friends.

    I guess someone that hates stoners wouldn't bother to not hate me, though.

    Meh, everything in moderation.

    Especially moderation.

    Unfortunately, Michelle Bachmann and Mike Coffman are still around.

    I'd say the Dems did well at the presidential and Senate levels.  At the House level, the Dems did generally worse than I expected, though it was a mixed bag; for state legislatures, the Dems did slightly better than par, though that was also a mixed bag.
  • Shit, there's Pars for this stuff?

    What's a Bogey, then?

    County-by-county map.

    It's interesting because it gives you a rough idea of how most of the US's population is distributed.

  • I'm a bit disappointed the Alaska part of that map doesn't split it up by boroughs.

    I noticed that too. Weird.

    I think I understand political cartoonists even less than I did before, if that were possible.

    I get that cartoons have to be done in advance, but when a race is as close as we knew this one to be, why would you draw cartoons that presume a certain outcome? Wishful thinking?

    If it were me, I would draw an "Obama wins" cartoon and a "Romney wins" cartoon and instruct the syndicate to run the appropriate one...yes, I'd essentially be drawing an extra comic for free, but I wouldn't look like a goddamn idiot.
  • It's 4:20 somewhere.
    Political cartoonists are some stupid fucks.

    Pisses me off that those kinds of people can have a decently-paying and (relatively) influential job like that.

    Yeah, it's far more likely they'd move to the Montana hinterlands like the Unabomber did. Not that they'd ever bother.

    Nah, they can just move here to Texas

    Nothing has changed here, in fact the GOP has a whole bunch of stuff they've accomplished that only requires the formality of the Democrats running crying to the Supreme Court

    Are they not allowed to block dodgy laws?

    Texas is just a little more defiant than the rest when it comes to keeping our state's rights

    As I've learned from t'internet

    States right is usually slang for people who are racist and homophobic as gently caress to be racist and homophobic as gently caress.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Well, see, people just shrug and say "That's Texas for ya, let them do what they want". There are states that are even more conservative (rural Utah is a scary place, I've heard), but Texas is known for being more vocal about it.
  • States' Rights in my mind means "cannot be merged into another state without asking first" and little else.

    You mean like how the certain ethnicities are slang for "lazy" and "crime"? Yes, I know, but what can you do about complete ignorance? It's everywhere.

    Have you seen what is happening in Florida?
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Much like every other American, I pretend that Florida isn't an actual state in the Union
  • Fact: Florida doesn't exist. It's a myth, like El Dorado or Atlantis.

    The last time I talked about Florida like this, someone tried to claim media bias on me.

    To which I responded:

    080709+griffin.jpg
    Florida law enforcement agents have charged 48-year-old Keith R. Griffin (shown at left) with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after a detective found over a thousand such images on his computer.

    In his defense, Mr. Griffin told detectives "he would leave his computer on and his cat would jump on the keyboard. And when he returned there will be strange material downloaded."

    He is jail, with bail set at a quarter million dollars. His cat roams free.


    Take THAT, troper whose name I can't remember. 
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Wait, there was a troper who said something like that before?
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
  • Awww yeahhh, look at that Sexy Animal Lover Newt.

    now I'm remembering if anyone actually remember this stupid joke besides me

    Yeah, can't remember which thread, probably "random thoughts" or some such...

    Y'know, I have to wonder just how drunk Donald Trump was on election night, when he went all Charlie Sheen on Twitter.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Complaining about Obama's victory and calling for a "revolution" and such.

    His hair is starting to affect his brain. Seriously, if you look at it from a certain angle, you can see that it has the same colour palette as hallucinogenic mould...
  • Donald Trump is what we in Holland call "a fucking douchebag".

    Except we in Dutch.

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    So very true.
