A John Cox commercial on the radio this morning tried to get cute and refer to homeless camps as "Newsom-villes". If we're allowed to apply a candidate's name to random stuff, can we refer to anyone dumb enough to be convinced by that commercial as a "Cox-sucker"?

Well when you are down by double digits in every poll you gotta try something ;)

MAD Magazine's (see the shooting thread) is 100x better.

That political cartoon should win the Pulitzer. I think they give those for political cartoons if I remember correctly.

I believe they do. I have a book of pol/op-ed cartoons from 95, I believe. It's amazing how relevant those cartoons still are today. If you printed half that book today, you'd get the same reactions. Not even joking around.

Edit: it skewers everything, btw.

This one still gets my vote:

There was one in the book I have, and it's a young kid, maybe about 5ish....at a rally for illegal immigrants, with a banner saying "Support Our Illegal Immigrants." And the kid is asking, "doesn't 'illegal' mean 'against the law?'"


The book also rails against the gun laws at the time, health care issues, etc. It's amazing.
 
Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

It’s not amazing. It’s pathetic and sad.

Pathetic that we still have people who carry water for the politicians who won’t let us evolve beyond that generations-old thinking.

We still have all of these same problems 30+ years later? Pathetic indeed.

It's amazing in the true sense of the word. 23 years have passed, and all the cartoons still hold some sort of truth to them, if not all the truth. Look at the forest, not the tree.

Holy sh*t, that didn't turn into a three-page lover's spat between the two of you? :p

Eh, he's liberal, against anything conservative, I lean conservative, willing to listen to anything that is not ERMAGHERD LIBERAL. It happens.

You can even do this with some political cartoons going back to the Civil War era. Really is a solid example of “the more things change, the more they stay the same”... Political cartoons do offer excellent snapshots for a moment in time though.
