Your Mom-dani Funnies


Giddy Democrats rocked by good electoral results, roll Republicans. Who mad now?
Yes, I have used this pun before for a blog post title but that was back in June when Mam-bo won the primary. There were some one-issue voters in NYC that weren't motivated by free public transit or taxing billionaires or even *gasp* 'communism'.


(Though in Ithaca, they did elect a Communist. Yay!)

It's safe to say the GOP never saw it coming.
The case was full of baloney.


Prosecutors argued the twelve-inch sub constituted a “blunt object with extra gabagool.” The defense countered that it was merely “a peaceful expression of lunchtime dissent. Something more deli than deadly.”

The verdict marks a blow to prosecutors, proving once again that while you can indict a ham sandwich, you apparently can’t convict one.

Fall Back to the 1930s Funnies


I saved a few Halloween toons for today.
Look at your opposition party, America.

T-Pain is exactly what you see. But Kam and KJP just put their heads on the tee for him.
The Christian War on Halloween segues into the War on Xmas. Next thing you know King Donald will be threatening to invade Nigeria.

This war is at least not as deadly as an Israeli ceasefire (sic).


Alas, A Blog!:
If you publicly criticize Israel, you’ll sooner or later be confronted with the “why are you singling out Israel” critique. “There are so many nations in the world – so picking on the world’s one and only Jewish state must be motivated by antisemitism, right?”

Sometimes the 'motivated by antisemitism' part is implied rather than said, as in this essay by Professor Jeroen Bruggeman. At less rarified levels, it’s often stated more baldly, as in this question on Quora.

[...]

Few if any of Israel’s apologists who raise the “why single out Israel?” argument could honestly say they personally give equal attention to all the worlds’ crises; they typically pay far more attention to Israel than any other country.

Which is fine! People are allowed to care more about one issue than another. Even critics of Israel.

Demolition Man Toons


While we wait for Rubio's War to kick off ...
... the Epstein Ball Room has captivated the shrinking attention span of our demented, early-Alzie-onset Commandant in Chief.

There are quite a few more wars El Trumpo is planning to begin than he claims to have ended. Still he seems ... curmudgeonly about that Nobel Prize denied.
"My Country Shit on Thee"
A few state and local items:
