I find this interesting- because SoCo did *NOT* see a real reduction in gas prices...

It's purpose is to be funny, not a fact-checked masters thesis. Humor.

Clearly the Corona virus' effects are exacerbated in those with preexisting Trump Derangement Syndrome...

For me, what is important is not whether a cartoon agrees with my political point of view. In fact I relish the rare opportunity to see things from another mindset. I think Ray and previous non-liberal cartoon presenters and opinion writers have enriched Wacco, and I thank you Barry for letting them in.

I agree with you that Ray's selections have gotten better (partly thanks to my editing ) but it also sounds like your politics have shifted towards the right, Ross.

that's such a weird term, especially because it doesn't mean that people are suffering from Trump's derangement, which is the obvious inference, but instead is some Orwellian gaslighting idea.

Kind of like "Social Justice Warrior" is supposed to be pejorative, (we're supposed to resent people who care about social justice?) and how avoidance of ethnic slurs or otherwise prejudiced speech is being "politically correct".

isn't it the right who resents tokenism? but us lefties kinda like the exposure to other points of view. It's better when they're actually funny, too, or at least illuminate some logical inconsistencies. A few fit that, maybe credit to Barry's editing but the improvement is appreciated.

A version of "American Pie" redone for our times, sung by the Founding Fathers (but you'll want to skip the ads):

Since we're stereotyping, whether you agree with this diverse perspective, you'd have to agree that The Cigar Wrappers did a great job parodying Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. Bon Appétit

"diverse perspective" aside, I wasn't impressed by the lyrics or images from a humor or creativity viewpoint. But at least they're trying.

Funny, that's how I felt about "American Pie". To each their own. One person's funny is another person's "offensive".


I think we both could agree on the ironic humor in this one>
