Ray Date: 08/26/15 14:28 A Political Cartoon with Little to Make Anybody Laugh Author: toledopatch Even if you think light rail is a waste of taxpayer money, which is probably not the prevailing belief on this site, it's heavy handed and unfunny.

Back when cars and planes were actually killing trains I do not recall seeing anything like that... Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 08/26/15 15:23 Re: A Political Cartoon with Little to Make Anybody Laugh Author: inCHI Well, they also have "Look Your Best: 7 Most Slimming Trains to Stand Next To"
http://www.clickhole.com/article/look-your-best-7-most-slimming-trains-stand-next-2968 "This EMD F59PH will not only make you look trim and vibrant, but it’s also been designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as a low-emissions locomotive, so you can look great and feel great too." Clickhole is the Onion's bizarre parody of online garbage like Buzzfeed...so it may not be to amusing to most of you either. Date: 08/26/15 15:30 Re: A Political Cartoon with Little to Make Anybody Laugh Author: railcow The Onion Editorial cartoons are purposely bad; that is rather the whole point, I thought - to make fun of the people who might agree with the cartoons. Check out some of the others there.

Date: 08/26/15 15:47 Re: A Political Cartoon with Something to Make Everybody Laugh Author: Super_C Sorry folks. Worst post from Marty I have ever seen. Must have been the bad air from his trip to the PNW.
Nothing close to funny.....perhaps I missed the point. Stick to great train pictures Marty. Your sense of humor you may leave behind! Date: 08/26/15 16:04 Re: A Political Cartoon with Something to Make Everybody Laugh Author: mp51w It's great satire! It's how you interpret it. Believe me, most Onion readers would get it, and are probably big transit users. I love the image of Ford, Ike, & Ernhardt crying. LOL!

Date: 08/26/15 17:00 Re: A Political Cartoon with Something to Make Everybody Laugh Author: RuleG I would expect this in "Reason" magazine, but not the Onion.
Date: 08/26/15 17:15 Re: A Political Cartoon with Something to Make Everybody Laugh Author: robj I guess it is ????? when someone tells a joke and people don't get it.
Obviously poking fun at both extremes (ie Marty spelled it out) on this debate but if you don't get it then maybe something is pulled up too tight. Bob |
