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.
Mitt Romney Blows
Saturday, September 29, 2012
Mitt evidently doesn’t understand how fire works, which I guess puts him somewhere beyond most cavemen but well behind the average Medieval alchemist in terms of scientific knowledge…
The Romney Platform
Friday, June 29, 2012
I was recently reading that Mitt Romney’s candidacy for President depends on the continued stagnation and deepening failure of the US and European economies. This is typical of elections with an incumbent, as the election often serves as a referendum on that incumbent’s record…

God-Man: Year Two Thousand Eleven
Saturday, August 20, 2011
The Governor appears to be far more devoted to his religion than W.

Neo Cons
Saturday, July 16, 2011
This cartoon compares this blatant economic trickery to the “shell game” or cup-and-ball routine, both of which being sleight-of-hand used for centuries to con desperate or unsuspecting dupes out of money by presenting them with what appears to be a simple gambling game which is in fact impossible to win…
