The breaking news this morning is that the Syrian government has fallen and Bashar Assad has disappeared. Steve Brodner marks the moment by remembering that Tulsi Gabbard, who is not at all a Russian asset, visited the Russian-backed dictator in 2017, to the distress of The Syrian American Council. She explained the trip to Jake Tapper: When asked […]
Marc Murphy gets the lead-off position today because we are both Domers, graduates of the University of Notre Dame. As Gibbon said of his own alma mater, “she will as cheerfully renounce me for a son, as I am willing to disclaim her for a mother,” but not only am I willing to claim Murphy […]
Jack Ohman (WPWG) notes the obvious lack of consistency in the pro-life movement, which has a dominant foothold on the Supreme Court. Whether it rises to the level of conscious hypocrisy or is more along the lines of willful blindness really doesn’t matter to that woman clinging to the overturned Roe boat (a nice and […]
I wasn’t expecting to run more “hypocrisy” cartoons — the issue is out there, everyone knows it, there’s little more to be said. And then Matt Davies made me giggle. As noted before, it’s not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when you say “Nobody should do this” and then do it yourself. There’s nothing hypocritical in McConnell […]
Relax, Willie. I’m gonna give cartoonists another 24 hours to catch up with the Kamala Harris choice. Today, we’ll set that table at which you don’t want to talk politics. This SMBC dropped before Biden’s announcement, but still presages the wisdom we’ll see shared online over the next 83 days. According to this depressing […]
Signe Wilkinson answers my question, which was “Where to start?” Let’s start at the very beginning; a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C, when you read the Mueller Report you begin with DOH! Oh, dear! Wilkinson is right: It’s all there. I will confess I have not read the […]
The twelve jurors were all writing very busily on slates. `What are they doing?’ Alice whispered to the Gryphon. `They can’t have anything to put down yet, before the trial’s begun.’ The Attorney General of the White House is going to hold a press conference at 9:30 to discuss a report nobody (except his […]
If seeing Notre Dame Cathedral was on your bucket list, you screwed up. Apparently, parts have been saved, but it will be some time before it’s restored, and then it will be restored, and it will be another century before the restoration feels properly a part of the 850-year-old edifice. But you let other things […]
Bizarro takes un-cluttering to a whole other level. Sort of. This un-cluttering thing has come along at a bad time for me, because I’ve reached a point where I want to live simply — I’m in a three room apartment but envy this place because it’s so much more efficient — and I’m also old […]
