Christian Adams makes use of Putin’s long table to demonstrate the current state of affairs, as, in the wake of a United Nations condemnation of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia finds itself isolated from the rest of the world. Well, somewhat isolated. Here’s the vote on that resolution, and it’s not surprising that Belarus, […]
Non Sequitur (AMS) addresses the crucial question of life on Earth being obliterated by a meteor, the odds of which, I would note, have not changed simply because we are better at tracking space objects. Though they may become slightly lower, since we’re working on ways of dealing with it. Not that we haven’t been […]
Some days are political, some days are comical. Today is a mix, but we’ll start with the shock of Michael Ramirez (Creators) pointing out that Marjorie Taylor Greene is an embarrassment to the Republican Party. Constant Readers will know I often disagree with Ramirez, but he doesn’t simply illustrate talk radio nonsense and this is […]
Martyn Turner provides a good starting point by celebrating the fact that we’ve long since lost track of the starting point and it’s all ups and downs now. Turner is Irish, hence the snakes.

He may have been taking artistic advantage of the term being used in Iran, that the election was “engineered” by the hardliners of the Guardian Council. […]

No, Alexei) Navalny to Russia, which — in case you hadn’t heard — has touched off massive, nationwide demonstrations in support of him and against Putin’s oligarchy. “Inexplicable” in the first place because Putin […]
This Andertoons doesn’t require a lot of explanation, though you have to be old enough to remember giant, air-conditioning-required, tape-driven mainframe computers. My first major freelance job was working for a company whose entire business was keeping track of oil and gas leases for landowners on one of those behemoths. I was charged with writing […]
This Pat Bagley cartoon has been hanging around too long, but I’m going to feature it anyway because it’s such a good introduction to the blatant disinformation circulating in our system. Of course, nobody said we needed to do away with cattle entirely, but having even said that (A) they produce a lot of methane […]
