I wasn’t sure who to start with this morning, so I decided to move the video to the top of the posting and start with the Rock Man from the Point!, whom I quote fairly often: “You see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear.” You can catch his […]
I count on David Rowe to use the time difference between here and Sydney to comment on events while American cartoonists are still selecting their nibs. In this case, I think he misjudges last night’s Fox News interview with Kamala Harris, not because it went well for the Trump crowd but because I can’t believe […]
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 […]
Scott Stantis isn’t the only media person upset because Kamala Harris isn’t playing the game right, though it should be noted that he’s not one of the celebrity journalists who aren’t getting proper respect. Still, he’s right: She hasn’t made the usual rounds that aspiring politicians are expected to make, and as a result a […]
Michael Ramirez (Creators) offered a curious take on CNN’s candidate interview. It appeared the morning after, but that likely means it was drawn before the interview aired. He assumed, then, that Harris was incapable of answering questions without Walz to save her. Now, judging it in retrospect, it’s clear from the transcript that absolutely nothing […]
It doesn’t take much to make me laugh over a poke at Facebook, but the level of gallows humor in this Joy of Tech gibe makes it more thought-provoking than funny. Will future generations one day look back with the same sense of “What the hell were they thinking?” Of course, the Greeks and Romans […]
Christian Adams (Evening Standard) offers an intelligent take on Oprah’s interview with Meghan and Harry, and its potential impact on “the Firm,” which he suggests isn’t so firm after those revelations. While I touched on the Royal Kerfuffle yesterday. I knew there’d be more response. But I wasn’t expecting this morning’s cascade, so here we […]
There’s a whole lot of mental insufficiency out there, and this Clay Bennett cartoon was filed well before Chris Wallace’s astonishing, dismaying interview with the president (transcript here, video clips everywhere). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test is neither an IQ test nor a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory but basically a quick 10-minute test to see […]
Ann Telnaes salutes Press Freedom Day. And so do I: A lady asked Franklin: “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin replied: “A Republic, if you can keep it.” — Dr. James McHenry (for whom the fort was named) And a favorite quote from Jefferson: The basis of our governments being […]
