Drinking games for recovering alcoholics.
Woman: Take a shot whenever either Obama or Romney says "poverty" "human rights" "foreclosures" "global warming" or anything you care about.
Yo, Ted! Only people with critical thinking abilities care about those issues. When I took Educational Psychology, I read that some psychologists stated that about 60% of the adult population never reached the cognitive stage of critical thinking. My first reaction was that seems kind of low.
“yo Ted ! not EVERYONE cares about those issues.”That would explain why the richest country on Earth allows children to live in abject poverty and why some citizens are being denied equal rights.
Most of the commenters here don’t get it… the point of the cartoon is that the drinking game will keep the recovering alcoholics perfectly sober. Neither candidate will mention any of the real foreign policy threats, including poverty, human rights, or global warming. It’ll all be “why couldn’t Obama guess what was happening in Benghazi before the facts were investigated?”
Ted’s finally back to making sense.15 out of 22 of Romney’s foreign policy advisers served in the Bush administration. As much as I hate Obama’s drone war, at least he has the sense not to get us into another futile occupation, while claiming that he can balance the budget.If you give a dang about preserving our social safety net, not sending our soldiering class to war or preventing another complete roll-back of regulations over Wall Street, Romney should scare the bejeebers out of you.

Ted, I can ALWAYS count on you for a good belly laugh. You’re the Thinkingman’s Cartoonist.
