This cartoon is 90 years old but could have been drawn last week. Amazing.
My father got sick when I was 22… and I was poor. And my father had an ulcer, and it exploded, and, you know, all these toxins get in your blood - and basically, my father died 50 days after his ulcer. So I had a father get sick while I was poor.
My mother got sick while I was rich. I don’t really wanna get into to it, but my mother was sicker than my father, okay? And my mother’s alive. My mother’s fine, okay?
I remember going to the hospital to see my mother and wondering, was I in the right place? Like, this is a hotel! Like, it had a concierge, man! …If the average person really knew the discrepancy in the healthcare system, there’d be riots in the streets, okay? They would burn this motherfucker down.

What if we could gin up half as much outrage over abandoning our heroes as we saw over the “Ground Zero Mosque”?
Do you really believe that mothers and fathers are interchangeable and that gender is irrelevant to parenting? If gender is really irrelevant, why do self-described “gays” insist on having a male sex partner? Why isn’t a really masculine woman just as acceptable as a male sex partner?

Tears from laughing. Tears.
A tribute to a few Republican senators who find comfort and advantage in invoking the heroes of 9/11 but refuse to give them health care.
This speaks to a bigger picture here that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policy. But obviously we’ve gotta stand with our North Korean allies.Sarah Palin
They came first for the Muslim’s junk,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Muslim.Then they came for the black’s junk,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t black.Then they came for the women’s junk,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a woman.Then they came for my junk…
…and I kicked up a huge fuss and demanded that they cut it out because it was infringing upon my freedom and goddammit you should listen to me because I’m a white dude and I and I alone have domain over my junk!
Pretty much. Le sigh.
