Clay Bennett (CTFP) summarizes the GOP’s impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, using the inquisitors’ own phrase that they intend to “connect the dots.” However, so far, as he notes, the only revelation that has come out of the hearings is that it’s a waste of time, which even their own lead witnesses have confirmed. There […]
Patrick Blower isn’t the only one roped in by an international fraud. The notion that kids were “identifying” as animals began with an intentional lie in this country some years ago and, when it resurfaced last summer, it was almost immediately slapped down as transphobic propaganda. There were no kids who thought they were cats, […]
There have been several cartoons on the subject of Paul McCartney resurrecting John’s voice through AI to complete a recording they never released. The other cartoons featured robots saying funny things, but less is more and Matt Davies turns in the winner. I like the watercolor background, but I particularly like that he has the […]
Steve Breen (Creators) seems to have the best take on what just happened: A crisis was averted, and both sides can take some kudos for having swallowed a bit of pride for the common good, but, then again, the matter has only been set aside and not permanently addressed.

Jack Ohman (Tribune) scores what I guess you could call a “pen drop” with this summation of the deal struck between Joe Biden and Kevin McCarthy. While the President and the Speaker reached what used to be considered a sensible compromise on the debt ceiling and coming budget, they’re both surrounded by problems. And Ohman […]
Marc Murphy may not be polite, but that doesn’t mean he’s wrong. The 2023 CPAC Conference was something of a damp squib, which was a surprise given the prominence it once commanded in the media, if not in actually influencing, rather than simply echoing, Republican politics. Is the echo still there? That’s the big question. […]
Pat Bagley opens today’s conversation with the accusation the lawmakers intentionally remain uninformed, tossing in the idea that, not only do they reject facts, but that they find the distortions and selective reporting of Fox News comforting. It’s not entirely clear whether Bagley, who comments on both national and local issues, is speaking of Congress […]
