El Protector


The United States donated three tactical vehicles to Costa Rica's police forces, and they didn't pass technical revisions. The vehicles lack reflective stickers, as they're all black, so they can operate on night missions. The exhaust system has a grill so people can't go Beverly Hills Cop on them and insert bananas. There are no... Continue Reading →

Nukes And Baldwins


Donald Trump had a horrible week. Pundits are calling it the week of chaos. Hope Hicks resigned as White House Communications Director (Trump's fourth) after testifying before Congress when she said that she's told "white lies" for Trump in the past. I'm not sure how the White House can replace someone with the judgement to... Continue Reading →

Lost Hope For Eye Candy


I don't really have much to say about today's cartoon, except, there's probably something wrong with me. I was going to do something with a strong, poignant opinion. Then, I thought of this and it made me laugh. I don't make myself laugh very often. I tried to take a nap, but I kept laughing... Continue Reading →

Gun Grabbin’ President


That giant thud sound you heard yesterday was every NRA members' jaw dropping and hitting the floor after Trump's comments during a meeting on guns. Trump entertained lawmakers for a discussion on gun safety. Trump said he wants to raise the age limit of buying an assault rifle from 18 to 21. The NRA and... Continue Reading →

Not So Kushy


I'm a little distressed because now there will never be peace in the Middle East since Jared Kushner is off the case. Chief of Staff John Kelly placed a last-Friday deadline for White House staffers to acquire permanent security clearances. Jared missed the deadline, and he probably will not ever get a real security clearance... Continue Reading →

Wing Nuts


Remember when Republicans used to be pro-national defense and security? Remember when they stood for family values? Remember when they were against huge deficits? Remember when they supported law enforcement? Here's a new one: Remember when they were pro-business? What? Republicans are no longer supportive of business? Not in Georgia, if the choice is between... Continue Reading →

Princess Complicit


Designing second-rate handbags made in third-world countries by eight-year-old children does not make you qualified to discuss diplomatic strategy with the president of South Korea. Inheriting wealth and building a career of creating havens for money launderers does not make you qualified to negotiate peace in the Middle East. Being a trust-fund baby does not...

Captain Bone-Spurs To The Rescue


When I saw the quote scroll across my news feed, "You don’t know until you test it, but I think, I really believe I would have run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon," I couldn't help myself. Forgive my cynicism, but I don't have much faith that Donald Trump, Mr. five-deferments, Captain... Continue Reading →

The Bald Spot


Donald Trump made two very surprising acknowledgements last week. First, he finally admitted that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election. It's true, he didn't admit they sought to help him win the election, that they had any effect on the results, or that his campaign was involved in any way. It's also true he... Continue Reading →

Expat Democrats


This cartoon ran last week in The Costa Rica Star. I get annoyed at people who claim they'll leave the country if they don't get their way. You hear a lot of celebrities make that promise. But, after they don't get their way they don't ever do us the favor of keeping their promise and... Continue Reading →
