I’m starting by disagreeing with Paul Berge, but I’ll soften it by linking to his essay on this cartoon where he discusses the sexist comments that have drawn the most attention, while also delving into Harrison Butker’s homophobia and transphobia as well as his defense of antiSemitism. My problem is that his objections repeat a […]
I’ve got to agree with John Cole on this one: The response from the GOP to the revelations from Mar A Lago are at least as disappointing and depressing as the facts themselves. (If you didn’t get that headline, here’s the background.) Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) have been burning up […]
The ongoing flood of Musk/Twitter cartoons continues. Some of them are clever, some are not, but none has been any better than the ones that popped up three days ago, and the net effect seems to be no particular advancement of this issue and, by omission, less advancement of other issues.

Today is November 2 and he’s already put up four cartoons since this October 31 one […]
Joel Pett reflects a mood set by others. Today’s headline puns on a mystic 14th century text in which the writer contends that we can’t know God through intellectual striving and so must approach faith through a more contemplative route. It wasn’t new then and, of course, it isn’t new now, though it is kind […]
