EPA and FDA waring label would also been a nice touch.

 

Great cartoon, but . . .

It’s Elixir, not Elixer. Sorry, my wife is a proofreader.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

oops, there’s a typo in the ad: the word “ELIXER” is misspelled, should be “ELIXIR”– but still funny! 9/10

 

I need a good proof reader.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll fix it.

This IS Obama's Oilloo

June 15th, 2010 – the day Barack’s presidency died…..

He is toast.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

10/10

Standard-bearer for grouchy curmudgeonry since, oh, 1975 or so.

 

These are awesome cartoons, do they get any play outside of this site?

Part of the reason I like Red State and other conservative sites is people are so clever. It is really refreshing.

Now and then, the toons are linked...

on other sites (some regularly), but mainly here at RedState.

And, thanks for the compliment.

And it wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t true…..But what is really unfunny but all too true, is the fact that ALL of the damage to the beaches, wetlands, wildlife and economics was entirely preventable if asshat baracko was paying attention – on Day 3, the very experienced Dutch offered high tech, state of the art collection and containment help, followed by at least 13 other nations – and baracko declined. He was busy with fundraisers, the Yankees, Vacation, golf, college champions, etc…….his interest is in demonizing BP (they ARE at fault), so as to pass the economic suicide known as Cap and Trade or some other snake oil climate legislation – DAMN those rednecks and their red states ! I have an agenda!!! Gulf Coast???? rump roast!!! Won’;t let this crisis go to waste……

So when you see the oil covered pelicans and dolphins, the once-pristine white sand beaches covered in slime – remember….Barack Hussein Obama could have prevented it and chose otherwise…….

That’d make some great campaign material in an election year….Big Government is slow, inefficient, and run by the weakest, most inexperienced minds nepotism and despotism can provide…
