The House Intelligence Committee wrapped up its Russia investigation last night saying they found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that Russia didn't even favor Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign. Slight correction there: The Republicans on the committee found no collusion. The Democrats on the committee thought... Continue Reading →
Sunshine Week 2018
Wakka wakka wakka. An evergreen cartoon is something you can run at anytime. Current events won't change it. Those cartoons are easy, which makes them hard for me. They're often about weather, litter, or something harmless that people don't really get upset over. Editors love them. March 11-17 is Sunshine Week in 2018. Journalists use... Continue Reading →
Blackmail
Alyssa Mastromonaco, former deputy chief of staff for operations in the Obama administration recently wrote, "When you go to work in the White House, you divest yourself of your secrets for the same reason you divest yourself of your financial holdings: so people can’t blackmail you." Jared and Ivanka Trump both lied about their debt... Continue Reading →
Costa Rican Gayday
I drew this cartoon last week for The Costa Rica Star. Costa Rica's uber-evangelical candidate Fabricio Alvarado's team has stated being gay doesn't mean a maybe-future Fabricio administration won't hire you. It just means that you probably won't be able to work for them and if you do, you have to stay in the closet.... Continue Reading →
California Shaming
If you don't know what song I'm spoofing here, get off my blog. Jeff Sessions went to California, held a press conference and said, "California, we have a problem." The Attorney General and Justice Department are suing the state of California over so-called sanctuary cities. This is a lawsuit with an audience of one, Donald... Continue Reading →
Bad Hair Summit
The one thing North Korea has craved for the entirety of its existence is legitimacy. Donald Trump just gave it to them. Republicans criticized President Obama for saying he was open to talks with Iran. Even then, there were negotiations for negotiations. Obama never met with the leaders of Iran. Instead, he sent diplomats to... Continue Reading →
Trump Tramps
Make America great again, my ass. When the Trump era is finally over, we're going to have to hose America down again. I want that cap. We thought Bill Clinton sullied the office by traipsing around with an intern. Who woulda thunk that we could get nastier than finding a president's DNA on a blue... Continue Reading →
Best People Or Putin’s People?
During one of the presidential debates, Hillary Clinton remarked that Donald Trump is Putin's Puppet. Trump, the master of witty, incisive, searing comebacks that cut to the core which no one has ever rebounded from replied, "No, you're the puppet. You're the puppet" From the day Trump was elected, he's spent his time not blaming... Continue Reading →
Nunberg Meltdown
Yesterday, we got a full dose of a prime example of the best people Donald Trump hires. I woke up to Sam Nunberg talking to Katy Tur on MSNBC. I thought to myself, is this being taken seriously? Then, I found out it wasn't his first appearance on MSNBC or with Tur, as he had... Continue Reading →
Oscars Grab
Plenty of highlights come out of the Academy Awards that I always read about the next day. I don't watch award shows. Why would I? Why does anyone? While there is still a lot of focus on who wore what, people in my business pay attention to how the movie industry reflects society. We also... Continue Reading →
