Update on this week's 'toon...

Thanks a lot Specter... I put you in a crappy cartoon that characterizes you as a dogmatic Republican, and you totally blow it out of the water by switching parties. I'm sure next Boehner will resign his seat in Congress to become head of Amnesty International...

Actually, in the end, Specter putting a "D" next to his name doesn't change much (for the Democrats, anyway). He's still going to vote how he wants to vote on stuff, and he'll probably still use right-wing rhetoric on stuff like torture. And this week's 'toon will still be crappy...

Stupidity (STDY) shot up 500 points on the Dow today...

I'm gonna leave the ball-dipping parties thing alone today...

But what's the deal with the morbid glee that so many cartoonists are taking today in the deaths of the Somali pirates? Last I checked, the rampant piracy there was the result of a collapsed government and years of European ships invading Somali waters to steal their fish and dump nuclear waste. You guys really want a "Yahtzee" on skulls with bullet holes on this one?

And, someone please tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing in this cartoon...

Say That Again?

I just had to post this quote...

As you may know, one of the right-wing media's favorite things to scream about these days is the conspiracy theory that Obama intends to eliminate the United States of America and place us all under the rule of a "one-world government." So any attempt at international diplomacy is now being pointed to as an indication that Obama wants to subvert us all to the French, or whoever. This is from a recent appearance by John Bolton on the Glenn Beck show:

BOLTON: ...you have to look underneath of it. And it's on a range of issues, not just the money supply, but gun control, the death penalty --

BECK: Global warming.

BOLTON: -- abortion, all -- global warming -- all of which are issues we can and should debate in our -- in our constitutional democratic framework. We don't need to decide them internationally. But that's what the agenda is of many people very close to the Obama administration.

BECK: OK. Thank you very much. I appreciate it, Ambassador.


Let's say that again... global warming is not something that should be discussed internationally. This man used to be United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

The Obama years are turning out to be fun for satirists after all...

hi...

OK, I'm putting more effort into Twitter now... follow me here. Although I still don't quite see the point...

Look for a bonus cartoon from me along with the new one Monday, to make up for my unexcused absence last week...

MORE: actually, it was VERY excused... I was workin' my friggin' ass off. Look for more updates to my design page coming soon!
