Young people like to hang out with young people. Does that make them "socially biased"? Yes. That's life. They are just now figuring this stuff out? What a laugh.

There was an article in the local news recently about a housing development that was marketed exclusively to black people. One lady was asked what she found attractive about it. Her response was "I feel more comfortable around my own kind". I had no problem with that response. No one seemed to. Should have I? There was no outcry, or significant response of any kind to the article. However, can you even fathom a housing development being marketed exclusively to whites, where a prospective buyer responded in like manner? Of course not. There would be death threats.

We have been brainwashed, and are brain washing our children to think that only white people are racially biased in a negative sense. Likewise we are trained to view social and racial preferences as evil. Anything can be evil when used for evil purposes, but that does not mean that it is innately evil.

Grow a brain. Hey Rubin, how about just one teeny tiny strip about them amazingly effective democrats? No? Hmmmm, seems you are just as willing to tolerate useless politicians as any "conservative" out there. How duplicitous, how transparent. I am neither republican, nor democrat, and I for one, am not ashamed to say it. I feel rather good about the fact that I am not so easily led-on-a-leash so as to believe either party has anyone but themselves as their number one priority. How stupid does a person have to be not to see this? Do you honestly believe that some politician cares about anything but their own self interests? How naive. How foolish. How dangerous.

a pretty close parallell to modern art. Mostly ugly, abstract, and rarely anything of real, lasting interest. It is written to impress the teachers and fellow students that the composer is surrounded by for the better part of their formative years. It is the frantic expression of people that have been submerged in the twelve tone system for too long, and think that their boredom with it extends to the erst of us.

I am convinced that in the future, the art music world will discover the efforts of composers like Hans Zimmer, John Williams, and Howard Shore and declare them master works. Before you scoff at the idea of a commercial effort being considered art music, recall that most of Mozart's music was a commercial endeavor for the movies of his day - opera.

I would expect political commentary to spread the disgust equally on the politicians, not just one gang of them. How do you expect us to find your satire and sarcasm funny if it is so transparently just a method to actually show support for a gang that is easily just as corrupt and self focused as the other? It shows that you are nothing more than a politician supporter. Politician=politician.

I think a really funny strip could be made of Charlie Rangel's 2 million dollar (of our money) "donation" to the library at City College of New York. What's so funny is that he is using your money to build a library that will be called "The Rangel Library". That is really fodder for satire, don't you think?

Please, we need a real satirist, not just another democrat hack.

I was not a TMW reader during the clinton years, but I would still expect him to make light of the party that controls congress and the senate. Is that not powerful enough for you? I am trying to be as sensitive to this issue as I can, but I remain convinced that the majority (~90%) of TT's commentary is anti republican/pro democrat.

When it comes to dealing with actual humans (i.e. conservatives, liberals, etc), I find that he constantly portrays conservatives in a political sense. I am a crunchy conservative, and care not for the mindset of the economic development based attitudes of many conservative, but on the other hand, I find them generally more rational than those mostly identified with liberal issues (Gore, et al).

Whereas, I am thoroughly convinced that guys like Savage are basically running their schtick (not reality based), I rather enjoy the way he slices and dices both parties. I wish more cartoonist would do likewise.

such an idiot. Which goes to prove that anyone that wants the job very badly can get it.

We, as a people, show all the classic signs of addiction. We can't stop. We know it is bad for us. It is actually bad for us. It is self destructive. It disrupts our life. It controls us through laws, taxation, and the nasty high we get when it does its thing (controlling others, even as it controls us). We love it and hate it at the same time. We think it gives to us, when in reality, it only takes. It leaves us in a continually weakened state. The more of it we get, the less we can resist it.

We are addicted, and the current crop of politicians revel in this fact. Like any other addict, we won't change until we hit rock bottom. Even then we may not change, we may simply die. We are an exceptionally young country compared to others that lasted a thousand years before they declined precipitously, or disintegrated. We are also the freest. Free to imbibe, it would appear, but free also to change. I am not encouraged by what I see and hear these days. I think a lot of pain is in the making, change or not. Hopefully it will inspire us and not defeat us.
