batshit really only in all the small, strange details that make me wonder what the conservative stereotype of washington might be - - - they hang up frames containing blank white canvases? they have frozen, manic toothy grins? swarm-of-bees wallpaper? everybody there has a different-sized head? what?

not that batshit but really i think this theme encapsulates how distorted the Republican talking-point world-picture looks from where I'm sitting. WTF are they even talking about here? What is it that Republicans imagine they're oh-so-generously putting on the table?
Also have seen at least two cartoons mysterious casting Obama as Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons. So one of those has to be just an obvious shameless rip-off, right? How do you look yourself in the mirror doing that?
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 30 November 2012 22:41 (eleven years ago) link
I choose to interpret the first one as the republican party desperately grasping for the real world, symbolized by Obama, yet failing, and tumbling down into the darkness. It's probably not meant that way.

prohibition kind of worked. people drank a truly grotesque amount pre-prohibition, most people abided by the law during it, and drank way less after, even now.

goole, that's interesting - is there a book or anything that discusses this? I've always sort of bought the myth that it made no difference/impact beyond "turning ordinary people into criminals" and providing a foundation for organized crime, etc. But what you say makes a ton of sense.
like, for example even in that cartoon, the bar only has one customer.

I know that a lot of business associations were in favor of prohibition because workers had a tendency to show up drunk, which is anecdotal support for the truly grotesque amount of drinking people did. Also the temperance movement was largely women because of the link between drinking and domestic violence, plus men being too drunk to work and financially support their families.

It's kind of fascinating seeing the libertarian argument being made about drugs and guns from the Right. It's simplistic, of course, 'cause encouraging simplisitc black or white versions of liquor or gun policy are fools' errands, but it's still interesting.
