The Plan Backfires
Monday, October 21, 2013
The conspiracy by House Republicans to force the President either to make further concessions on the Affordable Care Act, or risk the kind of global economic catastrophe that could result from the US government going into default, seems to have mostly blown up in their big, dumb faces…
Short Leash
Friday, August 16, 2013
I find the trend of all the world’s major media outlets falling into the hands of a privileged few very disturbing. The Gilded Age already taught us how that usually turns out, and I’d rather if we didn’t have to have another such lesson!
Pyrotechnicality
Saturday, January 19, 2013
A report last week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, coupled with the freakish weather of 2012, made it all the more abundantly clear that Global Warming is in fact a thing that is happening, whether we choose to stick our heads in the sand or not.

Romney/Ryan ‘Rithmetic
Saturday, October 6, 2012
The main topic of this cartoon is the vague budget proposed by the Romney/Ryan campaign, which includes cutting taxes in a manner that disproportionately favors the wealthy, and further ballooning defense spending to even more comically-enormous levels.
Blood Money
Saturday, September 15, 2012
I’ve made several jokes about Romney being a sociopath in the past, and I was already starting to think they weren’t jokes any more after I read this report describing cruel and uncaring treatment of gays and lesbians by the former Governor of Massachusetts…
Rational Actor
Friday, August 31, 2012
Aside from the lying, one of the major themes of the Republican National Convention was trying to humanize Mitt Romney to the American public, which worked out like an alchemist attempting to transmute lead into gold. There were several reasons for this, not all of them tied to Romney’s being a soulless, private-equity golem powered by tax fraud, diet Coke, and skinless turkey…
Corporate Horse
Saturday, July 28, 2012
A commoner like your humble author is unable to get regular checkups or preventative medicine, and scores of the lower-class die every year from conditions more easily treatable than Ann Romney’s M.S., while she, meanwhile, gets to write off a prescription horse.
Job Creationism
Friday, July 13, 2012
I started this cartoon as a general attack on the term “job creators” and the kinds of people it’s been used to defend, when, about 24 hours later, Romney went and made it more immediately relevant with a condescending speech to the NAACP, which was deservedly booed…
