There you are, have fun this long weekend!
This is an open thread.
Thanks for this post, JJ. Love all the cartoons except the Head Start one. Just because the Heritage Fdn says it “doesn’t work” doesn’t mean it really doesn’t work.
It works, my grandson is up and ready to get out the door and go to Head Start where he is learning to read, learning to sing and write the alphabet, and learning to be a good friend to others.
I agree! I had planned on putting that in there along with a couple other right wing cartoons that I thought were ridiculous. But when Cagle was giving problems, I decided not to. That education one slipped through, and I did not realize it until I looked at the post just now. I will find the other two cartoons so you can see what I was going for.
Okay, so that headstart cartoon up top was from the AAEC site, which was working fine.
Here are the other cartoons, via Cagle, I had originally planned to include in a collection of right-wing cartoons:
Cagle Post – Political Cartoons & Commentary – » Liberals’ Rape Kit
Cagle Post – Political Cartoons & Commentary – » Shooting Victim
That Shooting victim one is from the Investor Daily artist. Here is the cartoon he published today, which I think is twisting the average deaths to his advantage. Take a look and see what I mean: Cagle Post – Political Cartoons & Commentary – » Weapon Guide
Oh, and that Liberal rape kit cartoon is shit…
I figured it was probably a mistake, JJ.
I thought the same thing.
Republican Debt Ceiling Gambit is Unconstitutional.
Congress can’t make salary changes unless there has been an election since the last change.
Darn pesky 27th Amendment. 🙂
For a bunch of loons always talking about the constitution they sure don’t appear to ever know what’s in it …
Thanks for the cartoons. I love the take off on the old National Lampoon cover!
Paul Krugman has a hilarious kitteh picture in this post 🙂
Not With A Bang But With A Whimper
Is that a British Blue? They are the kitteh version of the English Bulldog. A Winston Churchill of a cat.
I don’t know the breed but I think the look is perfect for perusing the antics of congress.
Ah, British Shorthair is what it is. They are … weighty cats.
I’m surprised that Krugman messed up the TS Eliot line, “not with a bang, but a whimper.” It’s from “The Hollow Men.” He totally ruins the rhythm.
That was the first poem I had to read for school that I thought was interesting. It made me think, and I liked that. (Still do)
I used to read it for poetry readings when I was in high school. I was into despair in those days.
Oh, yes, of course you can’t have a second “with” in that line. Now I must to go look up all those poems I haven’t read for a decade or so, and declaim a few of them.
Oh, this is so WWJD: GOP Legislator: Guns Are ‘Essential To Living The Way God Intended’ | Mediaite
Makes you wonder where these idiots get these ideas? They’re certifiable.
WTF? And on the 8th day, God created guns, I suppose.
good one
Has it become WWJS – Who Would Jesus Shoot? Somehow I remember very different lessons in Sunday School.
For hoosiers, Doghouse Riley on Mike Pence…Back Home Again
Oooooh, thanks! I’ll have to send that one to my mom.
🙂 It was a good one.
TSA to remove controversial X-ray scanners:
The other scanners probably expose frequent fliers to harmful radiation too. Lawsuits ahead?
