As Jon Stewart prepares for his “Rally to Restore Sanity” this Saturday in Washington, D.C. and Fox Newsers spin stories of Democratic conspiracies, the politically attuned animators over at NMA World Edition in Taiwan have clearly been paying attention to these movements—and their relation to a certain upcoming event at your local McDonald’s.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

The reactionary rhetoric Mr. Stephen P. Craig’s comments express never
fail to reveal the intellectual disconnect that dominates contemporary political
discourse. Like false prophets of the media airways, who sully the conversation
with manufactured misinformation, these mendacious voices and their
parroting lemming-like followers provide clear example why political
conversation has disintegrated into illogical Straw Man fallacy and attack speak.
Insidious malapropism and lack of attention to detail, embellished with empty
rhetorical loudness and one-upmanship, are factors that further
erode logical discourse.

By the way, these comments are in no way intended to invite, as Mr. Craig AKA Joe Burger would have us believe, “insundiary [sic] collaborators” to the conversation.

Wait.  Let me check.  This is criticism coming from a country that routinely has fist fights in their hallowed legislative chambers?

My sincere admiration for your courageous portrayal of the cynical American political farse foisted upon this nation by Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Arianna Huffington, Oprah Winfrey, Barrak Obama and other insundiary collaborators. The NMA World Edition Animators have unearthed this ghoulish scheme in the nick of time to expose the dastardly deed for what it truly is; an American trick on the Halloween trick and treatster voting electorate. Merci beaucoup,    Signed, Joe Burger
