There have been a number of chicken jokes about Trump backing out of his agreed-upon September 10 debate, but I like Adam Zyglis’s use of the “Cowardly Lyin’,” because he combines Trump’s unwillingness to step into the ring with a solid contender with his dishonesty in explaining his refusal. Trump claims that he won’t debate […]
Peter Steiner sums it all up. Thank you for coming and don’t forget to tip your waitress. But, no, I’ve never been known to avoid elaboration, and there’s a lot more to be said, even if you shouldn’t say it in Louisiana. Or Texas or Arizona or in any of a number of other places […]
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.

I usually begin my day by checking Google News to make sure I haven’t missed any important changes in the world, because I don’t want to feature a political cartoon that’s been overtaken by developments. For instance, Delta and Coke breaking their silence on Georgia’s repressive election laws made a couple of cartoons obsolete, though […]
