Any hunter knows you eat what you kill. They have the same saying on Wall Street, "eat what you kill" where they cannibalize the clients, companies and other dealers. Sometimes called "animal spirits".
...please. My head hurts. Another great cartoon, Tom.
kudos Tom Tomorrow.
or at least half baked
I've eaten many humans of the female gender and found them to be quite tasty and gratifying (and grateful). Wait, what? Cooked people? Oh! Sorry, found myself on the wrong message board...
Cannibalism? Societal relativism? Just come out and say it: Tastes like chicken.
Sorry Elitist, I think it's ok for us to condemn making people into food, just like it's ok for us to condemn honor killings and child marriages. Unless you're talking about eating people who died from natural causes I guess, it's a human rights issue. It's my position that those rights are universal and are not just a matter of cultural differences. Maybe that makes me a cultural elitist, but I'll wear that badge proudly in that case.
As a longtime admirer of this modern world, I was a little that taken aback by the casual remark about cannibalism in the current column.
Cannibalism is still practiced in certain parts of Africa and elsewhere, and despite what we might think of as our “natural revulsion” towards the practice, it is not for us to judge.
This type of casual reference could even be construed as a form of racism.
Coexisting with other cultures means seeking to understand them on their own terms, not simply judging them by our own standards (as difficult as this might seem at times).
That's funny, yet really painful at the same time.
If you are going to parody a real situation then parody the situation. Contriving something that doesn't relate to your point is just UNfunny. You want to make a point about waterboarding just make it. The shooting was an accident waterboarding was done on purpose simple as that.
Over the weekend, he admitted that there was no link between Iraq and 9/11.
The response from the right has been twofold: total silence on that point, and defense of someone who shot a doctor in cold blood in a church to distract from it.
Consider then the fact that they'd rather defend murder in a church than admit the war was a lie.

Easy. Have a consultant whisper in their ear that it's a "center right country"/national security matter/unbearable cost of doing business, while a lobbyist slips them a check for the maximum allowable contribution.
Worked for AT&T, et al.
So true. This is supposed to be a representative government, so how come the Dems in Congress weren't representin' for their constituents, the half (HALF!) of the country that was appalled by what was happening in Washington?
How do you get a Democratic Congressman to bend over and spread his ass-cheeks? Anyone?
...you're going to Bar-B-Que up some lean, tender Abortion Providers! (I could have made a Joke about 'Veal', here; but I'll spare {rib?} you!)
Do you think maybe the Scumbag who shot Dr. Tiller (Name? Did they catch him/her? Help me out - I've had the Flu, and haven't caught up on that yet) was just taking a cue from Cheney? I mean, Lionesses sometimes eat their cubs - and Lionesses are dangerous game, right?
Sick, sick, sick, I know, I know. I AM ashamed of myself - NOT!
How do you parody life when it has already become a cartoon?
IOKIYAR
Indeed. Funny how the MSM couldn't accomplish in a couple decades (rehabilitating Nixon's legacy) what Cheney managed in a couple terms. And, Obama will ensure that we get more of these types of sociopaths in the highest offices.
Fuck Hope (thank you Mr. Carlin)
Funny cartoon! And yet, on careful reading it strikes me that maybe there could be some ways in which the story line of this cartoon actually seems nearly like some things that might actually have happened. Isn't that kinda weird? It's, like, sort of similar to the way disclosures about the Bush administration's involvement in, well, what might have been "torture". If you look closely, well, wasn't Cheney rumoured to somehow be involved in that? And weren't there people in America who almost publicly took positions suggesting that maybe that should be ignored and that even laws making torture illegal should not be enforced? And if I recall correctly, weren't there even some people paid to go on TV or even elected to represent Americans, but who kind of suggested that it was worse to criticise people like Cheney for their roles in torture than it was to support enforcing laws against torture? I mean, that would be so weird. Kind of makes a cartoon like this one almost "too close to home", doesn't it? Wow, amazing how sometimes art imitates life, isn't it? Thank god it's a cartoon.
Obama isn't going to get re-elected, sorry to burst your bubble. The economy is still going to be in the crapper, due to Obama's refusal to do what's necessary with these Banks. Obama is going to get the blame, and rightly so. Even if he gets re-elected, Obama isn't going to prosecute any of these war criminals. He's already stated as much. Stop looking at Obama through rose colored glasses, and get your some prescription lenses. Obama is complete and total fraud.
We need to demand a change in leadership amongst the spineless Democrats in Congress. I am not out to demonize Pelosi and Reid, but under their stewardship we have let intimidation and obstruction deter us from what everyone obviously knows is the right course of action. Since when was accountability and justice the wrong path to pursue?
