FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Worth a Shot" published November 2, 2014 - TV: Are you the sort of person who gets their political information entirely from radio and television ads like this one? The sort of person who trusts a concerned-sounding voice like mine, without ever questioning the validity of what I'm saying and whether I'm not just reading off a script designed purely to manipulate you? If so, then be sure to make your voice heard by heading to the polls and voting this Wednesday! Peter: Mom, isn't the election on Tuesday? TV: This ad was paid for by the committee to fix government SOMEHOW.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Nut Neutrality" published June 1, 2014 - TV: In Washington, the FCC finds itself knee-deep in public reaction to reports it may loosen, if not fully abandon, its stated commitment to preserve net neutrality and an open internet. Thousands and thousands of letters, e-mails, and phone calls have poured in on a near-daily basis from aghast citizens, technologists, academics, and business owners, asking commission members to keep the internet's level playing field and non-discriminatory data practices intact. We are told, however, that the FCC has received a near-equal number of e-mails demanding and END to net neutrality, all from the same 14-year-old girl. "Making it so people can only wear neutral colors like beige and taupe in their Instagram selfies is downright unAmerican," reads one. Marcus: You probably shouldn't have told your sister that's what it meant. Jason: I WAS KIDDING, PAIGE! I WAS KIDDING! (Click) Send. (Click) Send. (Click) Send.

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "American-ish Government" published September 29, 2013 - Roger: Whatcha studying? Peter: American Government. We have a test tomorrow. Roger: I'm jealous! I loved that class. Peter: Knock yourself out. Here's the practice test. Roger: "The three branches of the federal government that we're allowed to know about are...?" "Name something a U.S. senator does in addition to soliciting campaign contributions." "Outside of talk radio hosts, newspaper columnists, and TV talking heads, who determines whether a law is constitutional or not?" I think I loved a different American Government. Peter: That last one's a trick question - he left out the entire internet.
