I very much disapprove of artificial intelligence, but I also very much disapprove of letting an unelected plutocrat run the US government, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tx), who posted this, gives me hope. It would be nice if there were some Congressional cartoonist who could be recruited for such moments, but if we can’t rustle […]
There’s been a lot of chatter down in the Antipodes about the high cost of housing, and so it makes sense that Matt Golding would go international with this example of an American couple who has found a place to live rent-free. It might take you a moment to examine where they’re living to get […]
Dave Whamond sets the table for today’s discussion. On first look, you might well think he is contrasting the left (blue) with the right (red), but if he had that in mind, it’s secondary to the main point, which is an accusation of the Mainstream Media looking for false balance by airing both truth and […]
To repeat an oft-told story in political cartooning, Bill Mauldin was at a luncheon when news of JFK’s assassination came. He raced back to the newsroom and, within an hour, had this classic cartoon ready for the afternoon’s Extra edition. I point this out because, while I was indeed surprised at how quickly the jury […]
We’ll start with the easy one. Adam Zyglis explains the gist of the matter: Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker spoke at Benedictine College’s commencement and told graduates, among other things, that while women might get jobs, they would find true fulfillment not in the workplace but, like his wife, as homemakers and mothers. Particularly […]
Nick Anderson makes an interesting observation: There has been a constant drumroll from the right publicizing the idea that the border is open. Maybe that encouraged more people to try, despite the Obama administration’s publicity warning them that it was too dangerous and unlikely to succeed. I’m not convinced either stands up to much scrutiny. […]
The woman in this Steve Kelley (Creators) cartoon asks an excellent question. I blame the Civil Rights Movement. Once Black people began to speak up and assert their right to a place in society, all sorts of people began wondering why they needed to keep their eyes downcast and accept being either ignored or bullied. […]
Timing matters, and Lee Judge (KFS) offered this cartoon yesterday. That, plus the elephants, indicates that he meant the metaphorical war in the Capitol, not the actual shooting war that has once again burst out, this time in Maine, but which was too late to be part of his consideration. But the question applies there, […]
Good to see that Barry Blitt is as confused as I am. I didn’t stay up to watch the debate, figuring I could pick up the analysis the next morning, but all I got from the analysis the next morning was a reassurance that going to bed was the right choice, since nobody seemed to […]
Gotta give Daniel Boris credit for honesty, though his pre-indictment take is something of a mayfly, posted in the brief period after Trump announced that he was expecting to be charged but before Jack Smith released the actual document a day later. There were plenty of other cartoonists who responded to the rumor of an […]
