That's interesting. My least favorite has always been Blanche. Way too melodramatic for my tastes. |

Actually I like football and most sports and I will be watching Sunday night. (Should have been the Eagles though.)
A better cartoon would have been "DEBT" chained to 8 tiny hospital neonatal cribs with 6 little children peering through the hospital nursery window looking at their siblings and a smiling single mom who just gave birth to the litter via fertility drugs! Talk about someone who will get a "bailout!"
Sorry dan, couldn't see your pictures, they didn't show up on my computer, just the little red X.
I was equally disgusted by that. What a sick individual. |

I thought it said "Dert" at first. And I was confused? I quickly saw the error of my interpretation. At least the guy has good taste. Stella Artois is one of my favorite lagers. |

the perceived message is that anything short of absolute, obsessive attention to gigantic problems is the same as being ignorant, stupid and/or lazy. even if that is not the intended message, that is the received message. it presents a glaring false dichotomy so huge it's almost funny.
i present to you two separate scenes. in the first, there is a man much like the one pictured in this thread. he is a symbol of ignorance, and perhaps willful ignorance. he signifies laziness and obliviousness. look at his actions. he has done nothing to improve any situation.
in scene two, we have a man who fixates obsessively on massive national or international problems. he is a fountain of passionate and fiery rhetoric, very conscious of the problems that plague our country and world. look at his actions; his voting record, he political evangelicalism, is passion. look at the problems that concern him. they still loom large. his actions have not improved any situation.
what is the difference functionally between the two? i submit there is none.
One is a Steelers fan and the other is a Cardinals fan? |

I don't understand the picture...
But I'm definitely looking forward to the Super Bowl. |
