Wait, I thought it was supposed to be the republicans who didn't believe in natural selection.
Based on the following:
"New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman and Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas — both New York City Democrats — believe that the problem is that people somehow do not understand the danger associated with swallowing commercial cleaning products, or perhaps that Tide Pods actually look appetizing to some people because of their colorful design."
... I wonder what Sen. Brad Hoylman and Assemblywoman Aravella Simotas thought was the thought process involved in the "set yourself on fire and post it to YouTube" challenge that was making the rounds a few years ago.
I mean, I'm all for the government stepping in to mandate standardized packaging for laundry detergent and other cleaning products. Just curious as to whether kids don't understand the danger of being on fire, or merely find being on fire to look appetizing due to its colorful flames.
George Carlin: Any activity engaged in by more than... four people, in this country, has got a ******* magazine devoted to it. Skydiving, mountain climbing, snowmobiling, backpacking, bungee jumping, duck hunting, shooting someone in the ******* with a dart gun, jerking off. They probably have a magazine for that. I'm sure they have. I know they have a magazine. Walking! WALKING!
[laughter]
George Carlin: There's actually a ******* magazine called "Walking"! 'Look, Dan, the new "Walking" is out!' Here's a good article: putting one foot in front of the other!
Isn't it funny how the republicans don't harp on the ever increasing national debt once they are in power?
Not particularly. Ditto their principle counterpart in the legislature.
The point which the illustrator was attempting to make is that while the popular debate seems to center around "Republican vs. Democrat," a more enlightened view recognizes that these two parties are just two sides of the same coin, and that by keeping the debate focused on that rather simplistic rivalry, we ignore the fact that they're really just two different slightly different flavors of the same authoritarianism, who pander to extremists at opposite ends of the electorate, while ignoring the country's best interests as a whole.

And to Joe's point, if both parties can keep each others "base [whatever the hell that is]" riled up, the majority will go on unheard and with no real power.

Mon frere, it was really a rhetorical statement. I've long held the Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin.
Anyone who thinks anyone to seeks power in the establishment is doing so for the good of the people is so naive as to be sad.

In other news, prepare for another round of hysterical arguments in favor of greater restrictions on (or elimination of) the sale and private ownership of firearms, along with hyperbolic arguments against same.

Serious question.
Why should today be any different than the other days?
