It is funny and your R version is too. Hell, insert pretty much whatever group of leaders you want - It will still be funny. Now post a damn pic!

I don't understand that cartoon. Where's the joke/statement? Sure, I know about him strapping his dog to the roof of his car. And I know about Romney implementing a health care program in Mass. and Obama largely copied it for Obama care, and now Romney is changing his tune and criticizing Obamacare.

But what's the joke in the cartoon? Are liberals complaining about Romneycare? (I don't think so.)

Now that I think about it, I think the joke must be that Romney's treatment of Obamacare, which is similar to Romneycare, is a lot like his treatment of his dog years ago, and liberals don't like the hypocrisy, but they are just liberals, so ha ha.

It's a weak cartoon, but it gives the cartoonist a chance to remind everyone of Romney strapping a dog to the roof, and I think that was the main point of it. Which is kind of lame for a cartoon.

Now I'm tempted to just delete this post instead of posting it, but what the hell. *shrug*

One of my own creation.




Mind you, I still like him better than any other president you've had in my lifetime.

Over 80% of Gen Xers said they believed in God in 1995? I call bullshit.

The thing is, Millenials are currently at The Age where you freely and defiantly admit you don't believe in God. Then you fall in love, and you think you might even wanna get married to this person, but maybe he/she believes, or is less certain than you are at any rate, so okay, everyone makes compromises for love and you still don't believe but you just sort of keep quiet about it because you now realize there are some good people like your sweetheart out there who believe, not just the raving fundamentalists, and you aren't as desperate to offend people and "shake up the status quo" as you were in college. And then you have kids, and you are struck with the terror of having to teach this tiny creature all it will know about morality, and you are filled with guilt over your own immoral decisions in life and don't feel up to the task of being the world's biggest hypocrite, so the two of you kind of drift back to the church together, even though neither of you had gone for a decade except when you were visiting the believing spouse's family. You're trepidatious, but it turns out your spouse is the rule rather than the exception, most of the younger people you come across in these churches you visit are perfectly nice, reasonable people who believe in evolution and don't have strictly predictable politics. And all of a sudden, you're in your 40s and when the pollster calls and asks if you believe in some form of God you find yourself saying, "yes," and you chuckle at what the 20-year-old you would have thought of the person you've become. And then suddenly you're 60 and you find that the world has changed, and what you thought were perfectly progressive beliefs you held are now staunch conservatism, and you find yourself to now be rather sure there's something, some meaning to all this, because you've lived out the idea for so long it's second nature, and your impending mortality is on your mind and you don't want to be terrified about what's coming next, and your 20-something grandson is busy throwing his ragingly "liberal" politics in your face, things you can't even imagine being reasonable today, and rolling his eyes at your spirituality and shaking up that old status quo... and you just sit back and smile and know he'll get his in the end.

Bravo!

I'm glad you didn't delete that post after composing it.
