Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Another New DC Flag"

From MIke Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist

"Another New DC Flag"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2841

Just the other night here in Your Nation's Capital, an off-duty cop shot and wounded a couple of people over in Southeast. Cripes, it's as if they get even worse when they go off-duty; what's the damn deal with THAT?

I don't know about anybody else in this town, but I didn't like living in the "Murder Capital" the FIRST time around.

Watch each story after this one and watch the discrepancies and 
character assassination begin. @ChiefNewsham is a pathological liar.

NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour watches Watchmen

We're Watching 'Watchmen'

; Daisy Rosario; Soraya Nadia McDonald

Regina King plays Tulsa Police detective Sister Night in the new HBO series Watchmen.

Mark Hill/HBO

HBO's series Watchmen is not strictly an adaptation of the landmark comic book series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons — it's technically a sequel. It stars Regina King as an ex-cop in Tulsa Oklahoma who's not-so-secretly the masked vigilante Sister Night. It also stars Don Johnson and Tim Blake Nelson, alongside Jean Smart and a very odd Jeremy Irons, who are both playing characters from the comic. Showrunner Damon Lindelof has set the show within a big, weird world that keeps getting bigger and weirder, even as it seeks to comment on some very contemporary, real-world issues.

Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration

(First Second, 2019)

Book Forum
November 4, 2019 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM EST
F.A. Hayek Auditorium, Cato Institute

Featuring the authors Bryan Caplan, Professor of Economics at George Mason University; blogger, EconLog; and Zach Weinersmith, Illustrator, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic strip; New York Times bestselling author, with comments by Tim Kane, JP Conte Fellow in Immigration Studies at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University; moderated by Alex Nowrasteh, Director of Immigration Policy Studies, Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, Cato Institute.

In their new graphic nonfiction book Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration, authors Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith turn the heated public debate over immigration on its head by proposing a radical and controversial solution: open borders. Caplan argues that opening all borders would practically eliminate absolute poverty worldwide and usher in a booming worldwide economy―greatly benefiting all of humanity, including Americans. With a clear and conversational tone, exhaustive research, and vibrant illustrations by Zach Weinersmith of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal fame, Open Borders makes the case for unrestricted immigration in a new format sure to spark lively debate. Caplan and Weinersmith will be joined by Tim Kane, the JP Conte Fellow in Immigration Studies at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, who is a supporter of liberal immigration laws but a critic of open borders.
