Joel Pett lays out the litany of hate Americans are exposed to on a regular basis and ends by portraying one of the innocent victims of this toxic bile.I can’t be the only person who has so curated his social media and learned to avoid hatemongering broadcasters that I’m not bombarded with this garbage, but, […]
Mike Marland (Ind) asks the questions I’d also like an answer to.The least of them, I would say, is in the bottom left-hand corner: “Why are you so hateful, gullible and in many cases, so downright stupid?”It’s not an interesting question, because it’s about a factor we should have known about all along. The interesting […]
I’ll admit to spending a fair amount of time going through my memories, which is okay because I’ve got a fair amount of them, both significant and very, very trivial.This Bizarro (KFS) sparked one of the latter.My freshman year phys ed instructor in college was one of those profs who sets himself as the universal […]
I wasn’t expecting to run more “hypocrisy” cartoons — the issue is out there, everyone knows it, there’s little more to be said. And then Matt Davies made me giggle.As noted before, it’s not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when you say “Nobody should do this” and then do it yourself. There’s nothing hypocritical in McConnell consistently […]
We’ll lead off with the National Cartoonists Society winners from yesterday’s virtual convention, which, by the way, was a really good idea. The more you can bring in fans, the more you motivate them to continue being fans.And, as DD Degg has noted, the whole shebang is perserved on YouTube and he’s posted the schedule […]
Juxtaposition of the Day(Bob Gorrell)(Tom Toro, June 2012)And let me add that those who pretend to study history talk about the riots of 1968 in terms of the tumultuous demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention that summer.Which were not riots except in the sense of “police riots,” stirred up by Mayor Daley who explained it […]
Ann Telnaes salutes Press Freedom Day.And so do I:A lady asked Franklin: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin replied: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” — Dr. James McHenry (for whom the fort was named)And a favorite quote from Jefferson:The basis of our governments being the opinion of the […]
Matt Wuerker admittedly picks a bit of low-hanging fruit on this one, going for an obvious commentary on a ridiculous Trump blunder, but it beats hell out of the more obvious, less detailed wisecracks involving a Sharpie and harking back to Dear Leader’s ridiculous re-drawing of a weather map.Both play upon the fact that the […]
This is who I feel sorry for.Joel Pett works in Kentucky and so has a front-row seat to the result of the betrayal of the coal miners.In the margin of the Lexington Herald-Leader page where this cartoon appears is a headline for another story: “Paychecks bounce, leaving Kentucky coal miners at bankrupt Blackjewel in a […]
Kal Kallaugher describes a central issue in the campaign to “Make America Great Again” that goes beyond border walls and is at the heart of a whole lot of issues we’re dealing with.America as a “Melting Pot” derives from a 1908 play by Israel Zangwill, an immigrant from Britain who was, himself, the son of […]
If you are a in the content producing industry, and that’s the vast majority of my readers, you’ll want to visit Business Insider. They posted the slide deck to a presentation given at IGNITION: Future of Digital given by Henry Blodget, Alex Cocotas and Marcelo Ballvé. In it it sums up several trends that are […]
