Jeff Danziger provides a scathing international take on politics, finance, and everything else you aren’t allowed to discuss at the dinner table. Combining spot-on caricatures with razor-sharp writing, this feature will make you listen a little more closely to what they tell you on the news.

Maybe they’re sick of rebuilding houses that will get wiped out in the next hurricane. Over and over and over. The government shouldn’t be in the insurance business, the government isn’t a business and doesn’t care if it loses money hand over fist.

The only ones not wanting to help storm victims are politicians…until it’s THEIR state hit by the hurricane/tornado/forest fire/drought/flood/blizzard/oil spill/zombie apocalypse.
When Obama was running for office in 2008, he said we needed to start factoring the cost of responding to disasters into the federal budget. It had never occurred to me that no one budgeted for disasters.
As far as the government not being in the insurance business…insurance companies have not been in the insurance business since they were allowed to trade on the stock exchange in the 1940’s. Yes, they sell insurance and they pay damages, but they do so reluctantly. The executives and stockholders are more important than the people insured. The government is supposed to regulate business and protect citizens from criminal negligence, fraud, and destruction of environment by business in the name of money and power.
Respectfully,

God knows there are no overweight people up north. I agree with jonesb that the people in government have no clue what a dollar buys anymore since they have no problem giving away billions and trillions.

Sorry Jeff, you messed up on this one…The south and north both have prejudices, but the “waffles-overweight-south” analogy is ponderous at best. Sharpen the pencil and take another shot at em….

Just a little note…
Waffle House Inc. is a restaurant chain with over 1700 locations found in 25 states in the United States.1 Most of the locations are in the Southern United States, where the chain remains a regional cultural icon.2 Waffle House is headquartered in unincorporated Gwinnett County, Georgia,3 near Norcross.4

How much help were the ‘victims of Sandy’ to New Orleans after Katrina? Sounds like Jeff needs a grasp on reality.
This is funny… fat racist Americans and all…. God knows that there are no fat racist Europeans in all of Europe.

We northerners could probably just help ourselves on this one if we weren’t sending a net outflow of our own tax dollars to southern states who refuse to pay their own bills.

@Ms. Ima
Studies show that most overweight folks are in the Southern states.

@Ms. Ima
Many Northerners contributed time and money to support the victims of Katrina just as individuals from around the country helped us following Sandy.
Politicians, on the other hand…

I’ve had Danziger on my list of comics for a year and a half. He’s generally unfunny, ocassionally on point, one-sided to a fault, bigoted towards southerners and republicans….I’m a moderate independent and I just can’t stand this guy’s work. He must surround himself with like-minded pogues because I can’t see how anyone else could stand being around him. I just removed his cartoon from my comics list and my day got a little better.

An edit on his bio: his writing is razor-sharp; i.e. it only cuts in one direction an does so ineffectively due to being encased in uninspired, premanufactured packaging.

Danziger captures the arrogance and ignorance of those red state welfare queens who we Blue State Liberals have to support with our federal tax dollars.

Funny thing about some of these comments is that the average southerner probably doesn’t even know any rednecks. (stereotyping, maybe?)
The Wolf In Your Midst said, 4 months ago
As somebody who’s been to the South several times (and lived in North Carolina for two years), I’m going to say that the stupid stereotyping needs to stop. It’s not helping the discussion in any way and only deepens an already-enormous divide.
Besides, everyone I knew went to Waffle House (of which this is an obvious parody) for the coffee, not the waffles.
