An insightful GIF comparing the level of government spending on the war drugs in America versus the drug addiction rate since the inception of the war on drugs in 1970.
Many would think that an American flipping to a comedy network to get their daily dose of current events would be a nadir in political progress and civic duty. But when that comedy network features the informed, rapier wit of Jon Stewart, a cultural low point quickly transforms into a nightly highlight on the Daily Show. From the tragedy of September 11th to the need to see Osama Bin Laden’s body, we can all learn a lot from the best Jon Stewart quotes ever:
Often found texting in the back of any Business 101 classroom, the college conservative is upfront and unapologetic about his severely conservative beliefs. He carries the (feather)weight burden of being an upperclass white male on his shoulders (which, lest you forget, are covered by the fabric of a Ralph Lauren polo) but still finds the time to panegyrize neoliberal economics from the balcony of Daddy’s mansion. He’s insufferable, but like an antibiotic-resistant pathogen, you can never truly be rid of him.
As scathingly unforgiving as he is insightful, Portland-based Matt Bors is ProseBeforeHos political cartoonist of the week. In 2010, Bors hopped a flight to Afghanistan (not the easiest of stunts) to offer a more colorful portrayal of how fucked up things were there. Bors has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and is featured regularly in The LA Times, Daily KOS and The Nation. Check out some more of his work here.
