"When the Pyromaniac is the Fire Marshal" Funnies


T-Pain is beating us leftists and the oil companies to the "burn it all down" punch.


Can't have all these fires without mentioning the climate. Oh wait ...

Eid was last week (the Israelis kept bombing and starving Palestine). Passover this weekend. Christians celebrate Easter next weekend. This atheist is of the opinion that were there actually a god, better people he could have chosen. Mike Peterson of the Daily Cartoonist:
One of the hardest challenges I found as a journalist was to be in an interview where you realized that the person was lying to your face. Fortunately, I could usually work around a self-serving falsehood by finding a second, more forthcoming source or, if it were an insignificant sidenote, ignoring it for the moment.

But as (these cartoonists; see link) note, the changing explanations and downright fables being put forth by the IDF are highly significant and are part of a particularly toxic, repeated pattern that goes back at least to the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, whose death was explained away, then edited and explained again, then finally excused with a “whoops.”

And the mother and daughter killed by a sniper while walking in the courtyard of a Christian church.

And the tiny girl who pleaded for help while the medics trying to rescue her were killed, and who was then killed herself.

And now this, and the explanations have once more fallen apart. Turns out one of the wounded, dying medics left behind a recording that overturned the IDF’s version of events.

But cartoonists and other commentators have become wary because any criticism of the IDF or of government policies towards Gaza is attacked as antisemitism.

However, you can still draw funny penguins without being accused of being antiornithological.
"I heart Hamas". "Open borders". Women in Men's Sports". Somebody missed the point (as well as the 'Hands Off' rallies). It's accurate that the Blues aren't going to see a midterm renaissance, but not for the reasons Eric Allie thinks.

Not just across the pond.
