There are all sorts of important political issues to address, but there are also a lot of leftover Thanksgiving political cartoons, and it’s too late to keep arguing over the election because that die has been cast. So here’s a Jimmy Craig cartoon which is also about Thanksgiving but made me smile. I didn’t use […]
I’m not in the mood for politics today, but Kevin Siers’ comment on the resignation of Boris Johnson is simply too good to delay. It’s one of those things where, once you see it, the connecting concepts are obvious, but combining Britain’s lion with Bert Lahr’s lion must have struck Siers like a thunderbolt. As […]
We’ll start our April Fool’s Day coverage at Rob Rogers’ website, where he either had a technical glitch or an absolutely brilliant take on both the topic and the day. If it’s a glitch, Rob, don’t fix it. It can’t be improved. (Too late: Here’s what he meant.) But today’s headline says “Hateful Fools […]

The nice thing about that video clip is that White, a veteran of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, cannot possibly be dismissed as a liberal. Which means even rock-ribbed rightwingers should listen […]
A young political cartoonist asked the hive mind if things have always gone at this pace. It was a good question: You can barely address one scandal before another comes along and so we forget about Dear Leader’s taxes in order to discuss his lunatic behavior at the debate but then drop that subject to […]
Francis starts us off today with a bit of philosophy, as Brother Leo expounds on the difference between stupidity and simplicity. The cartoon pope, who began at a time when the real one was starting his administration, has remained far less tied down with bureaucracy and precedence than the real one appears to be, but […]
