Honestly, when "breaking news" about Texas was announced on my TV Thursday, I half expected it to be another mass shooting. While flooding is terrible, especially for Houston which is still recovering from a flood two years ago, it was kinda refreshing that breaking news out of Texas wasn't about a mass shooting. This is... Continue Reading →
Whistleblower Left Hanging
Even before anyone seriously thought Donald Trump would ever be president, we knew it would be a disaster because he'd eventually break the law. We knew he'd break the law intentionally because he's a conman, and inadvertently because he's stupid. What we did not count on was the entire system of checks and balances caving...

Canadian Brownface
Maybe Justin Trudeau, Canada's liberal prime minister, should have said it was the light bulbs that made his face look brown. But, like our president, it's not the lighting to blame for their appearance. It's the goop they put on their faces. A yearbook photo has emerged of Trudeau, a self-described feminist, and pro-immigrant liberal... Continue Reading →
Corey’s Fairy Tales
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told the House Judiciary Committee yesterday that he has "no obligation to be honest with the media." So, this morning when he was interviewed by Alisyn Camerota, there are no legal consequences to his lying and evading simple questions, like, "Have you talked to the president (sic) since your...

Sword Dance
So let's get this straight. Russia attacks us by meddling in our election and the American president (sic) refuses to even acknowledge it. Iran (supposedly) attacks Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump is threatening war, depending on what minute it is. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear agreement with Iran despite their remaining in...

The comments on my social media are mostly an echo chamber so I knew this one wouldn't get that many shares. It's gotten plenty of comments though. A lot of people... Continue Reading →
Daddy’s Moral Compass
Nobody's perfect but each of us has at least one person we respect and look up to. For me, one of those people is my older brother, Jimmy. Jimmy's nine years older than me and was the only older male who was a constant figure in my life when I was a kid. He took... Continue Reading →
Roughing It, Volume Twelve
I didn't have to draw a lot of roughs for CNN last week. I wrote the editor, asking what our lead subject was, and he replied, "Sharpie, Sharpie, Sharpie, Sharpie." I was pretty happy with that. This was the first idea and I thought I hit it out of the park. Yeah, it's riffing on... Continue Reading →
Oompa Loompa Deep State
For God's sake, what is it now? Trump is orange. He's been orange for a very long time. There have been multiple articles about his orangeness with various theories offered to explain why his face looks like a baboon's ass. The number of scholars who have offered opinions to explain the phenomenon of his hue... Continue Reading →
Inhaling The NRA
Vaping has been promoted as safer than cigarettes. Now, with six deaths and hundreds of previously healthy teens and adults suddenly stricken with respiratory damage, all blamed on vaping, there's talk of banning the battery-powered e-cigarettes in the United States. Vaping has become very popular. It's a way to smoke without the smoke. Some kids... Continue Reading →
