– John Boehner Defends Crying & Smoking
Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking is...

I know this may not sit well with my followers, hell even the tumblr community at large, but what I’m about to write is honest-to-god how I feel about homosexuality in comics. This isn’t a grab at attention, and I’m certainly not attempting to “troll” any individual or group in distaste.
