I'd change the next-to-last panel from, "it's just that the people listening think you're an asshole" to "it's just that the people listening are excercising their free speech rights when they tell you they don't want to hear your shit."

I'm not sure which is funnier - the fact that he doesn't realize that Southwest isn't the government and thus isn't restricting his free speech in any way, or the fact that the Supreme Court has listed punishing obscenity (as long as said punishment is not considered overly harsh) as an acceptable abridgement of free…

I found it. It's ALL up to them what they find offensive. Contract of carriage, section 6 -Acceptance of Passengers, subsection A -Refusal to transport.

Heh, it's almost like we call people jerks for being jerks as opposed to their gender or race.

The scowl line in my forehead gets a little deeper every time people wear "offensive" shirts out in general public with little old ladies and small children present and act like petulant children when called on it.

"insufferable douche waffle"

I terminated a very wanted pregnancy at 26 weeks gestation in June. My daughter had a genetic duplication and abnormalities that would have ensured that her life was brief and painful, had she even survived the rest of pregnancy and birth. If I was not extremely privileged to have excellent health insurance and enough…

you should, i'd co-sponsor it

Middle-aged, Republican senators pain ME, but you don't see me introducing bills against them.

"I have an educational blog" has to be a close second to "I sell monogrammed thermoses," right?

Not meanies, practical. The owner isn't USING the body any more, damn it! So why should a kitty starve?

HAHAHAHA! That cat's no pussy, she's a fucking cunt!

A cat would never consent to being dragged around like that by a human for funsies, he put up with it purely to fuck with that puppy.

Burt, you clearly mistagged this. It is obviously evidence that #TEAMCAT is winning at life.
