Plan C: reconstruct the basis of a sustainable economy with focused public investments, and rebuilding industry in Europe, taking back outsourced jobs, and creating steady emoployment instaed of precarious capitalist serfdom.
WTF Political Cartoons
Yeah, those poor coalition forces, having to rely on the single largest military on the planet which supercedes 80% of the rest of the world’s militaries in funding.
Hey, that’s my joke!
…nnot much more to add. This isn’t really all that bad. Just wanted to point out that the one thing that unifies Europe a lot more than the European Union, is hating European Union.
France isn’t in crisis, at least not anywhere near the level of PIIGS. But you know, what ever to make a stealth jab at “socialism”… ignoring the fact also, the Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy and Greece have been extreme level free markets for a good two decades, which laid founding to their ruin.
Look, people who claim to be experts on “the economy” (conservatives) have no understanding of macroeconomics.
It’s as if Ramirez asked himself “How many trite slams can I include in one picture?” and he only stopped because his editor was able to wrest his pen from him.
My favorites are “No Truth Traffic” and “Road to Serfdom”.
First one, because I find it endlessly amusing when born bullshit factories like Ramirez and the usual suspects in my blog, call their brand of demagogy “truth”. Second one, because I’m not entirely sure Ramirez even knows what Serfdom means, and entails. In fact, if we want to compare any form of employment to serfdom, I would look at modern capitalism, and the precariate workforce; people who only have short term contracts, either having to change work every now and then, or being terminated and then taken back regularly so that they don’t gain any benefits of a long carreer. This thrives in ideologically capitalist economy, because if there’s one thing bosses hate, it’s paying employees well.
Let’s see: taxes are down, spending is down, and the government is smaller under Obama than under Bush-. And Catalino is still shit.
Remember what I said about facts not changing people’s minds? Yeah. Here you go.

Buh?
Chris Muir is Poe. There is no other explanation.
I’m not sure I want to live in a world where that isn’t true.
I’m not sure I can continue reading this strip.
He is accusing one of the two major political parties of using a terrorist to intimidate and possibly injure/kill people who “look into Obama’s past.” I would not be surprised if Muir was one of the people who thought Obama had Andrew Brietbart killed.
This is no longer funny. I’ve joked about the art, I’ve joked about Muir’s inability to tell a cohesive story. But this…? Either Chris Muir is putting on a giant act of satire, or he is beyond help.
I’m going to assume it’s the former, because that’s the only sane possibility, and just stop reading this strip. There’s no reason to critique satire.
Satire, or someone’s decent into a madness; neither makes for really good riffing. You either feel like an idiot for not getting the joke, or an asshole for poking fun at a seriously troubled person.
I know dick all about the stock market, but what little I do know, is that the value of the stock isn’t directly tied to company profits, but rahter how much people pay to own the stock. And yeah, a lot of these comics are hilarious in hindsight due to the instant bubble.
Um… What the hell is with the bride? Why is she a giantess? Why is she oddly proportioned? Why the noticeable arm hair?
And what’s that off to the left? A fire? A pile of rubbish? A childish scribble?
And was it Wall Street that killed Facebook’s stock, or was it that people have been able to remember all the way back to a decade ago and the burst of the tech bubble?
Funny part is, it’s actually Facebook that’s doing damage to Wall Street, because the hype and ensuing bubble drove the market itself down.
