Nick Anderson (Tribune) salutes the 118th Congress, one of the least productive congresses in history, as it disbands to go home and run for office based on having done little but squabble and preen. They’ll be gone until after the election, which won’t make much of a difference to the nation, since I’m quite sure […]

A timely message from Mike Luckovich, who as I write this is likely hunkered down in Georgia as Helene passes over. There’s probably some kind of wisecrack available about how, if Trump is elected, he’ll protect us by diverting hurricanes with his magic Sharpie, but the more serious point is that NOAA was born out […]
These past decades have seen pro sports fans around the country spurned by the teams they support and cheer when owners of sports franchises see shinier, brighter, newer things elsewhere – well, Money Talks. Oakland, California has been especially hard hit lately. Five years ago, after nearly 50 years in Oakland the Golden State Warriors […]
It is a more frequent occurrence than you would imagine – an editorial cartoon goes awry from what the cartoonist envisioned. Michael de Adder‘s recent cartoon about the crowded field running for Halifax mayor drew criticism. From the CBC: The cartoon, by longtime freelance cartoonist Michael de Adder, depicts a bald white man and a […]
There’s nothing all that new if you take Guto Dias’ cartoon in the broad, overall sense. Both graphic and literary artists have had to leave creativity aside when entering the commercial arena, and if some leaks in, it generally gets committeefied into pap before anybody in the public sees it. But the advent of AI […]

The story […]
I’m not buying what the woman in this Phil Hands cartoon is selling. She may be busy, but being too busy to keep up with politics in a presidential election year is just silly. It’s like saying you were too busy to notice three feet of snow in your driveway. And it only snows a […]

Our first conflict was brought forth in part by this morning’s Tank McNamara (AMS) and in part by my having missed the first three weeks of the football season and not feeling all that bad about it. There was a point at which I would agree with the fellow suggesting a three-concussions-and-you’re-out approach, and I […]
