Oops, I was in such a hurry I forgot to mention it is an open thread.
A bunch of cartoonists thought of that pregnancy analogy. It never even occurred to me. Thanks for the laughs, JJ.
Same with me. Hilarious connection to make. “Not even to save the life of the mother?” Bwahaha, and, also, too true.
Yeah, that last one was the funniest to me…Tonight was the first game for my daughter’s cheer team, they did great.
That smarmy evangelical elephant is spot on!
embalming fluid!!!!
I love political cartoons — it is easier to see the stupidity in the “abstract ” cartoon.
embalming fluid and those eyes.
JJ,
I have a cartoon to post, but I can’t get it to work. Can you help me?
Yeah…you gave pic saved?
I will check.
BB, that is a good one.
Thank you!
JJ…..When I saw the “We built this” cartoon it reminded me of an idea I’ve had about how the Democratic Convention should respond to and counter that theme, shoving it right back in their face. The Dems should use the theme “WE built this TOGETHER” and then use the images of everything we’ve done collectively, Dams, bridges, highways, TVA, Internet, Public Utilities, Public Universities, Public Schools, Hospitals, Washington DC, State Capitals, Military victories, etc, etc, etc . There are a million ways to play that theme, ways that every American can relate to.
That’s a great idea.
Love the idea!
Thanks BB & Ralph……Ever since they distorted and misued Obama’s words, I’ve been thinking about how Obama could turn that phrase around and use it against them. When I read they’re using it as the theme of their convention it occurred to me that it gave the Dems the perfect opportunity to counter with Obama’s real meaning.
I wish there was some way to get the idea to them. Who knows, maybe someone has already thought about it.
I’m just glad to know my brains still working
Oh that is good mouse.
This is interesting and it’s not news.

That was supposed to go after the gay bathhouse comment.

In news Lindsey Graham can use, with a great video from The Onion:
