C’mon ya’ll, don’t you think it would be fun to go back to the days of longer hours, unsafe workplaces, child labor, zero job security, and paltry remuneration? The corporate overlords and political bosses on the right think it’s a great idea, plus they’ve convinced blue collar rednecks in the south it’s a great idea…

I really enjoy Aline’s humor and storytelling approach, I just wish I could enjoy that Mark Beyer/Lynda Barry style of cartoon art (the closest I come is some of Panter’s work, but that’s probably because we share a punk history).

Thanks liz, you’ve engendered a bit more hope in this tired soul. Maybe there IS reason to be optimistic. Fingers crossed and voting hand poised.

Yeah, they think it’s all those immigrants on bath salts, with evil erections aimed at their white daughters.

Yeah, cognitive dissonance doesn’t do this kind of evil, agenda propaganda justice (plus they’re definitely not interested in noble notions like justice anyway).

I was going to say something similar. We’re talking about people who believe the Walking Dead is a reality show.

That fact fucking itself in the ass line, had me spit take my coffee. Thanks asshole, I just spent the last five minutes wiping down my laptop. Good stuff.

I don’t know what polite, civilized world you’ve been roaming in but even if you invoke miranda and refuse a search, if the officers want to search they will do that. I’ve been in the situation many times, they will ask, you will say no (and no, they don’t give me a citation and I go home, not ever), they will keep…

Yeah, the northern part of the state is definitely where any “hope” lies, and I’d like to be more optimistic but damn, I never in my wildest dreams suspected Dumpf would win the presidential election. I’ve been kind of stuck in “darkest timeline” thinking ever since. I just hope you’re right and there is enough…

She actually seems pretty great, but I live in rural south GA, and she ain’t got a snowballs chance in hell of winning, even less so the woman of color. Too bad they’re wasting time, effort and money on a state crowded with rednecks, proud of living lives like the ones she mentioned in her ad right now, and seeing…

Yeah, that “towing the line” crap is always troubling, on either side really. If you can’t approach each issue with your brain on, ready to think for yourself and make a reasoned judgement, you might as well be in the robot army, imo at least.

Man, I’m enjoying this damn show so much (esp. the last 2 ep.’s), that I’m seriously regretting watching it week to week right now. I need more, like now man! Noho is hilarious, every scene he kills (he’s my fav. but there’s good work being done by others too). I’m kind of sad they offed Taylor, I knew it had to…

Yeah, I figured it was a value judgement on the part of the author, but that may be sillier still.

I imagine most directly involved in politics or commentary on the left are scared of the power of that “silent” voting bloc that elected Trump, and of their future chances of being elected to office if they insult them further. Hilary’s comments on Trump supporters probably brought a few million non-voters to the…

I’m not a fan of BBT, but lumping it in with the abominable KCW and calling it a dud in the process is silly.

I’m even later than you, but man did I always love “Jumping Someone Else’s Train”. Also, it’s hard to take the writer who claims that the Dinosaur Jr version of “Just Like Heaven” is better than the original seriously, good god no.

You meant “cite” but the onus isn’t on me to do anything of the sort. I’m a multiple-felon, who’s been the victim of police violence personally, I know all about it. I agree that the decent cops need to start promoting that decency but I think even more important there needs to be serious shake up at the higher levels…

Totally agree. I’d love to live in Seattle or Portland but as it is now couldn’t afford to. Plus, I’m stuck in a backwards area, of a backwards state, in a backwards ass region.

Oh yeah, on a personal safety level, I totally agree with you.

Oh I’m sure the whole barrel’s not rotten, but it would damn sure be nice if just one of our cities would attempt to truly clean the barrel a bit. Hell, they just circle the wagons and double down every time. Disgusting. The suburban cops are the worst, they all think they’re Dirty Harry and wish they had something…
