'Pirate of the Caribbean' Funnies


Not quite Captain Jack Sparrow.


Global maritime law says it's not piracy if a recognized state's proxy does it (so Somalis are pirates, SEALs are heroes, and Houthis are ...?). Which I suppose is why Jean LaFitte called his merry band privateers back in the day. T-Pain fits the bill in that respect.


I am also reminded of a cinematic psychopath, Daniel (Day-Lewis) Plainview from There Will Be Blood, specifically the phrase "I drink your milkshake".


The Donroe Doctrine asserts that dead men tell no tales, so there's our rationale for the "coming" land bombings.

T-Dawg likes his Coke with lots of ICE.


Indeed we are losing our legacy media in rapid fashion. Sometimes that's not a good thing.


And sometimes it is.


Some brief gallows humor about the Texas Senate contest. Thirty years on and the Donks are still placing their own necks in the noose.


"Jasmine Crockett vs. Ken Paxton is the US Senate race Texans Deserve"

Schmaltzmark Channel Holiday Specials from Brian McFadden:
I mentioned Oglaf last week; this is't one of his blasphemous toons (those are coming, just in time for Xmas) but it reminds me slightly of T-Boy. Any random presser lately, to be precise.

Rage Bait Funnies

It's the Word.
Some of you will recognize Oglaf as a gifted cartoonist who draws mostly pornography. There's a few that demonstrate his comedic interpretations of gnosticism -- or ag-, as the case may be -- that I will add to future Funnies/Toons posts. They're the only ones that are SFW. Inferences are all yours.

Jesse Duquette by contrast is the farthest thing from subtle.
So as America finds itself once again on the brink of a military invasion of a small country for the purposes of appropriating its mineral resources, Americans strenuously object but America's sociopathic leaders and their sycophants in the captive, corporate media press on, hurtling into another moral and environmental quagmire.


There are topics of national concern that some Americans and their elected officials would rather focus on. A few are even humorous.

For those keeping track, Mamdani won’t be mayor of NYC for another month, so it’s a little early to be panicking over what he might do if he becomes the first candidate in recorded history to accomplish everything he promised. [...]

When I was in elementary school some Birchers warned us that if we didn’t fight the Soviets, we’d end up in a society where we were spied on, stopped in the street, and ordered to show our papers. We didn’t, and here we are.

Anyway, here’s my challenge: If someone starts prattling on about communists, ask them to quote something from Das Kapital. Or ask them to explain dialectical materialism, which we covered in 10th grade.

Leftover Turkey Toons


Turkey sandwiches, turkey tacos, turkey enchiladas, turkey tetrazzini ...


Zelensky is served.
Blecch Friday.

I realize it's been a few days and news breaks and then gets flushed down the memory hole faster than explosive diarrhea, but please recall this is how we started the holiday week.


The Buc-ee's sign LOL


"Your sloppy disrespectful clothing is why air travel is so bad," says Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy. So fix that uniform, soldier, or face recall to active duty for the purpose of court-martial.

If Democrats said to do those things, it wouldn’t give you permission, though if you wanted to import 400 tons of cocaine into the US, the president might pardon you as a good guy. But if you were ordered to kill suspected drug runners whom you could easily have intercepted and brought to trial, that would require a little forethought on your part. And if you blew up their boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage, you’d really have to think hard about either killing them or even just letting them drown.

Meanwhile, if you were ordered to arrest a certain number of brown people and to ignore whether they had legal status in this country, you should probably consult a JAG, if you can find one who hasn’t been fired or co-opted.

BTW, as a civilian, don’t assume proper identification will protect you against outlaws with quotas to fill.

And if you’ve loaded people on an airplane to send them to an overseas gulag and a federal judge orders you to turn the plane around, you should either do that or else be prepared to face having illegally ignored a lawful order.
Less décolleté prepubescent vagina, more law and order (can't believe I have to say this).
Ted Rall says we're focusing on the wrong part of affordability; we need higher incomes because lower prices are just not going to happen.
All I want.


Oh, maybe some science.
And a little thoughtful reasoning. Too much to ask?
