How on earth did we get here? Robert Ariail notes the positive messages of past presidents, contrasting them with Trump’s declaration that we’ve become a “garbage can.” But how many times can you marvel over how, in the past, such-and-such an action would have ended a political career but those rules don’t apply to Donald […]
Graeme MacKay starts us off with something light: Canada has released its new money, with Charlie instead of Liz. You can argue with the kid who doesn’t know who King Charles III is, but MacKay is right that the relationship is somewhat vague and doesn’t come up very often. IIRC, the monarch still has to […]
In case you’ve somehow missed it, today’s headline echoes a popular online comment, “Tell me you don’t understand XXX without telling me you don’t understand XXX.” It’s used as a snarky commentary when someone posts something totally off base. It is not a compliment. However, I’m featuring Pedro X. Molina (Counterpoint)‘s cartoon because he does […]
I used to see bumperstickers that said “If you’re not scared, you’re not paying attention.” Haven’t seen one in awhile; perhaps it’s too late. But Ann Telnaes has been paying attention enough to be concerned that CPAC held their latest conference in Budapest, where Hungarian autocrat Victor Orban — new hero of the far right […]
Between countless variations on Putin painting himself into a corner and even more versions of people slapping other people, political cartoonists seem determined to see if they can boost Sturgeon’s Law beyond 90 percent. However, there’s still some interesting and creative work out there. Overseas cartoonists, for instance, have been having a field day […]
Marc Murphy warns that it is late, though perhaps not too late. But it is certainly too late to sit and watch and wonder and hope. Like the man in the joke, God has sent us a canoe, a rowboat and even a helicopter, yet here we are, sitting on the roof watching the waters […]
The Red Queen, who was running as fast as she could just to stay in one place, has been taken from the board, to be shortly replaced by the White Queen, who can believe six impossible things before breakfast. Yes, I know: Ann Telnaes has drawn her in good Republican red, but Elise Stefanik is […]
Michael de Adder‘s gag is particularly funny because it relies on the notion that this is all part of some cunning plan, and that, if he wanted to give away his secrets, Donald Trump could write a book about what he does and why. Also that his contradictory positions are somehow pleasurable. In reality, he’s […]
Today’s Mo offers a chance to update yesterday’s comments on the limited social skills of Catholic prep-school alums. The parallel between Kavanaugh and Thomas still holds up, but, now that Kavanaugh’s accuser has come forward and elaborated on her story, the specifics have made the parallel less direct. While I’m not going to get into […]
