'Running the Numbers' Funnies


Someone's having personal problems with arithmetic.
In this reality it's possible that we can all find a silver lining.


Personally I find it unfortunate to be living at a time when science and math and truth must be subverted to a partisan extremist agenda.
In this new world order, some re-education might be ...overdue.


It's probably too late for that, though.
So please excuse me but I just can't excited about Democrats 'fighting' for voting boundaries or 'democracy' being at stake when it got replaced by oligarchy in 1944, an unholy consortium of wildly corrupt power brokers in 1960, and fascism since 1980 (yeah, I voted for Reagan twice; blame me). Voting. Is. Not. Going. To. Fix. This.

You might remember that last week I mentioned the failure of Christians to live up to their own standards, apparently because their gods now are Trump and the GOP.
Alas! A Blog has two toons worth reposting this week. As a person who recently began on Mounjaro -- and who has been on a GLP-1 agonist before -- I understand the mental dilemma.
You might also enjoy Jim Gaffigan's take on this topic (with which I entirely sympathize).


In an interview, Peter Beinart said:
In a lot of American Jewish institutions, you get in more trouble if you question the legitimacy of the state of Israel than if you question the authority of the Torah, right? Which is just a very strange thing.

Hillel, which serves Jewish college students, basically has this statement of radical pluralism. It’s like, We don’t care if you keep kosher. We don’t care if you keep Shabbat. None of that’s important. Bring your whole self. Except if you’re anti-Zionist.

Cracked and Packed Cartoons

Perhaps you're aware of the flood of tyranny we're experiencing in Texas.
The virus is spreading to other states.


Republicans in the Texas Lege held seven hearings on redistricting before conducting one on the Hill Country floods. And Ban Patrick turned it into a blame game (not that the locals didn't deserve it, mind you). So while there are many things more important, they chose to protect their dictator, preserve their authority, and cover their ass.

Forgive me for not believing that voting can fix this.


Reminder: A Latino from the RGV, Gilberto Hinojosa, was the chairman of the Texas Democratic Party from 2012 to 2024.

Yes, there are more important things to address besides redrawing precincts. And they extend well beyond the borders of Texas.
Clay Jones also has our segue.
I see so many "Christian, conservative" Xitter bios on the #TXLege hashtag posting the most vile animosity toward migrants, women who wish to determine their reproductive futures, Democrats, etc. that it makes me bilious. WTF happened to Christianity? Why did they revert to the Old Testament?
Yeesh. I did have a few kinda sorta Funnies today.


Who wouldn't need a gummy after all this? Except, you know ...
