What's the salary? That might be a full-time job.

Too late. Supply Side Jesus is doing a better job of conveying the ideals.

Too bad Al Franken is a moron. The cartoon depicts not a supply-side economy but a demand-based economy where economic growth is created through consumption.

As for the other aspects of the cartoon - just meaningless pot shots at a guy that I think most people would agree, religious or not, lived a pretty decent life.

Al Franken sure has come a long way from boiling cockroaches alive on SNL to his current status as a diety of the liberals.

Who are you referring to?

Jesus. I don't understand why they used Jesus as the main character when there are so many other folk who deserve that lampoon or, at least, should expect to get lampooned that way. Jesus is probably the last person I would have used - and not on religious grounds but on any grounds: comedy, irony, satire, ???

I'm not personally offended, I just don't get it.

It's a CARTOON. Relax.

And I love Al Franken :3eye:

The whole point is that it is not Jesus. The real Jesus even shows up to drive that point home, and there are no potshots at him. The potshots are at the people who throw aside the egalitarian and compassionate teachings of Jesus in favor of a philosophy that promotes giving to the wealthy in hopes that the money will trickle down, and then wrap their politics in the name of Jesus.

Why am I not surprised. Air America fan, too?

Aren't you too busy wrangling nuts and bashing other cultures to be making such inane comments?

OOOh. Hit a nerve.

I never found Al Franken funny, even in the real heydey of Saturday Night Live. By the time he was a regular cast member and doing the Stuart Smalley schtick, the show had become pretty much unwatchable. And when a 30 second bit that isn't funny becomes a movie that isn't funny, that's pretty much the death knell. He just didn't hear it, I guess.

Oh my. That's it. You heard it here first ... Al Franken is a comedic zombie!

Don't flatter yourself, sweetie (I know how much you love it when people call you sweetie!) :D

Oooops, did I hit a nerve? Sorry.


Oh my. That's it. Once again, wolf knows everything!

:D I'd hate to cut in here...but I thought it was well done no matter who the artist involved with it's creation was. Jesus being the main character seemed to be actually a necessity toon to drive a point home. You could use any number of main characters but to achieve the actual theme wasn't Jesus an obvious choice? Go back and try it with Superman........or Mickey Mouse with that squeaky voice......or maybe even you..... :D

Then again, I don't get New Yorker cartoons either.

I'm not up in arms about it - I was just trying to understand it. Thanks HM for at least taking the time to explain it.

[andyrooney] Dja ever notice how Al Franken's head is way to big for his body? Like he borrowed it from somebody twice his size but never gave it back?[/andyrooney]

LOL ah yes: the golden snip. That says to me: "Honey, I love you enough to not poison you with my sperm, have you push out an 8,9,10+ pound being from between your legs and try to raise and LIE to that being about the fucked up world we live in."

:mad2: :mad: :mad2: :mad:

Fuck that bullshit. NO ONE is restricting what I say and when/where *I* say it! He (Bush) can eat shit and die and go fuck himself for all I care.


Amen!!
