I'm sure you're aware that one can't be tried for a crime in the United States after a jury fails to convict them. This is the Double Jeopardy Clause. Though, as in the case of O.J. Simpson, one can be sued for committing a crime after a jury fails to convict. They don't have that... Continue Reading →
Russian For Transparency
I'm going to dinner with two of my best friends who are coming in from out of town, and I haven't seen them in a really long time. So, column will come later. Update 11:39 A.M., 07/15/2017 Here's your column: I expect any day now for Donald Trump to tell us that he's not a... Continue Reading →
Repeal, Replace, Reboot, Reweb
What if Jared Kushner is Spiderman? Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? No? Well, we can all at least agree that it's not Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump is not Batman. If anything, all three of these guys would be super villains....if super villains were really, really stupid and crashed into a lot of shit. The Republicans keep... Continue Reading →
Kollege Is Shtoopid
Shortly after the invasion of Iraq, Vice-President Dick Cheney was asked about opinion polls reflecting that a majority of Republicans believed Iraq was behind 9/11. Cheney said he could understand why people believe that, but he wouldn't state that Iraq didn't have any involvement with that terrorist attack. Why not? It's because his agenda fed...

I Hart Your Big Foot
When I was a little tiny cartoonist I was intrigued by the Bigfoot/Sasquatch mythology. I read everything I could on the subject and believed every eyewitness account. If you said you saw a Bigfoot eating out of your fridge, I'd wanna know if he had any cake. I was also deathly afraid that Bigfoot would... Continue Reading →
Pardon The Sibling Rivalry
Perhaps the most ironic part of the Donald Trump Jr. story is that proof the Trump campaign colluded with Russia is an email. How delightful. Junior has gotten himself in deeper legal trouble, his brother-in-law could be facing five years for falsifying his security clearance, Trump's campaign has to find a new defense other than...

Urine A Lot Of Trouble
At this point, I kinda half expect Trump to release the pee tape to distract us from all the treason his campaign and family have committed. For months, Donald Trump has been screaming "fake news" and that the Russia story is a hoax perpetuated by Democrats as an excuse for losing an election they should... Continue Reading →
Haters Storm C’ville
Rational people can disagree and debate whether monuments to the Confederacy should be removed. You may align yourself on the side of keeping the memorials, but do you want to stay at the party when the Klan shows up? Conservatives don't seem to express any discomfort being on the same side as the Ku Klux... Continue Reading →
Putin Confirmation
With as many "they said/he said" situations that Donald Trump gets himself into, you'd think he was on a nighttime soap from the 1980s, not the president of the free world. He's had these "did too/did not, did grab/didn't grab" situations with women. He's had a "he said/he said" with the former director of the... Continue Reading →
Wahhabi Lobby
You would think that those who talk the talk about Christianity would also walk the walk. The arts-and-crafts retailer Hobby Lobby became a symbol of religious freedom in 2014 when their opposition to the Affordable Care Act went before the Supreme Court. The court found that family-owned corporations do not have to pay for contraception coverage under... Continue Reading →
