Mis-informed

Friday, March 16th, 2012

shiaCOLOR Mis informedIt amazed me that polls of GOP voters in the recent southern primaries showed that solid majorities still believed that the president is a muslim.  Another zombie myth–one that will not die.  You’d think people would be embarrassed by such ignorance.

Man of the…uh…

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

boxCOLOR Man of the...uh...I love cars!  My wife loves them–she’s got two Cadillacs, one at each of our palatial homes!  And I love NASCAR!  Why, some of my best friends own NASCAR racing teams!!  And, and, the trees are just the right height!

400th post!

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

collegeCOLOR 400th post!

Yeah, that’s right.  This just happens to be the 400th cartoon I’ve posted to this website.  That’s what happens when you continue to produce them, one at a time, week after week.

Verily

Monday, February 20th, 2012

phonyCOLOR VerilyCandidates tend to wear their religion on their sleeves during a campaign, some more than others.  At times it seems they’re running for national vicar rather than president.  Rick Santorum, though, seems to find religion a great way to remind people that Obama is not really one of us, doesn’t share our values or theology.  He’s so OTHER.

To the battlements!

Monday, February 13th, 2012

stupidCOLOR To the battlements!Maybe it’s because the economy is slowly–painfully slowly–recovering, but can it be that the most pressing issue before the nation is a highly exaggerated “war on religion” and whether people should be using birth control?

Error, error…

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

MittbotCOLOR Error, error...And this was before the Mittbot had a press conference to announce that he was getting the endorsement of the Donald.  Oh, THAT should help Mitt shed that out-of-touch, I -like-to-fire-people, rich guy image.

Out of this world

Friday, January 27th, 2012

moonCOLOR Out of this worldI’ve always loved the space program, especially as a kid growing up in the 1960s.  So when Newt went off on a moon tangent in the last debate, it was delicious.  Who knows?  Maybe one day.

Kaboom

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

bombCOLOR KaboomWe in the cheesehead state knew there were a lot of recall signatures being collected, but the 1 million delivered surpassed most expectations.  Certainly some percentage will be thrown out, but there will be far more than enough left standing.  The process still has a long way to go, but the clock is ticking, governor……

Do you have a receipt?

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

chattyCOLOR Do you have a receipt?Newt is infamous for spinning out ideas almost indiscriminately, some good, some  bad, some atrocious.  Having grown up in the 1960s with all its optimistic predictions about all the amazing things we’d do in the future, I have a kind of fond nostalgia when Gingrich talks about stuff  like mining colonies on the moon.

By the truckload

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

acmeCOLOR By the truckloadI imagine Santa having to come up with a more severe category than “naughty” for the GOP nincompoops in the House.  John Boehner to America’s workers:  Bah, humbug!
