This is a recasting of a Currier & Ives poster of Patrick Henry giving his “Liberty or Death” speech, in which he sounded a warning to King George and, in response to cries of “Treason!” from other legislators, replied “If this be treason, then make the most of it!”I’ve seen posts on social media about […]
One of the options at the moment is despair, but that’s an unacceptable choice.Besides, we’re not there yet and there’s still plenty of room for comic relief. Like the guy in Bliss, you can still stay aware of things, as long as you’ve got some good coffee, to which I would add “and a few […]
This is as political as I plan to get today. I’m awash in political cartoons with sarcastic responses to Musk’s demand that people tell five things they accomplished last week, mostly showing Trump filling out the form and varying from okay to more than okay but only a couple reaching brilliant.Ali Solomon, however, frames it […]

I’ve been back and forth on Bill and Monica and #MeToo, but I can certainly endorse Mike Thompson’s take.There are a million layers to this whole thing and ain’t none of them clean and clear, but the one that rises to the surface is that Bubba wasn’t dragged kicking and screaming back into the limelight.As […]
