Seriously. Ben Carson is on the president of the United States' cabinet. I mean, we all knew his presidential run was a joke...but couldn't it have stopped there? Of course not because Donald Trump's campaign and presidency are as much of a joke and one of the proofs of that is the fact Ben Freaking... Continue Reading →
Ben’s Big Box
When Shaun Donovan was Obama's Secretary for Housing and Urban Development, he abandoned the idea of replacing office furniture in his department after learning the price exceeded authorization. Purchases above $5,000 need Congressional approval. He eventually made some upgrades and paid for it out of his own pocket. This was before Trump's cabinet made corruption... Continue Reading →
Ben, Stop Talking
When Ben Carson said slaves brought to America from Africa were immigrants I was shocked. I thought to myself "how is it Trump didn't name him Secretary of Education?" Carson, who once claimed the Egyptian pyramids were built for storing grain (which were also built by "immigrants) actually said slaves were immigrants with dreams for... Continue Reading →
Nyet Nyet. Nyet?
Several weeks ago I had an idea where Trump was asked about his connections to Russia and his response was "nyet." It wasn't a good idea and I knew other cartoonists would take similar shots with it. I've seen at least three "nyet" cartoons since then. After watching Rex Tillerson's confirmation hearing it kinda came... Continue Reading →
Republican Road Rage
I hate the Clown Car analogy that's been tossed around to describe the Republican candidates for president. It's not that I disagree with the description. It's that it's a lazy analogy and not creative at all. If Chris Matthews uses it then you shouldn't (and it's an analogy he repeats every day). So I may... Continue Reading →
Cruzin’ Over Carson
On Monday before the Iowa caucuses got rolling, Ben Carson decided to go home to get fresh clothes. What? Several questions before I get to the part where Ted Cruz is a total sleaze bag. Why do you fly half way across the country for clothes? Why didn't he pack enough clothes? Why can't he do... Continue Reading →
Idiocracy
The 2006 film Idiocracy is about a future where mankind dumbs down. Society consists of nothing but stupid people. A man from our present is put into a deep sleep and wakes up in this future and he's persecuted for being smart. Does that sound familiar? Not the waking up in the future part, but...

Freedom, Fear And Hummus
I'm exhausted. I'm tired of the militant gun crowd screaming for more guns. I'm tired of Republicans who believe it's OK to sell guns to people they put on the no-fly list. Mostly I'm tired of bigotry and the support it's gaining. Obama issued a rare Oval Office address Sunday night in attempt to beef... Continue Reading →
Sitting At The Adults’ Table
It wasn't hard finding a lie for each of these candidates. The hard part was deciding which lies to use. It is funny that the more ridiculous the candidate, the higher he or she polls. Though I must say I'm going to miss Carly and Dr. Ben after they're done crashing. That's what happens after... Continue Reading →
Dr. Sleepy Tackles Foreign Policy
I love listening to Ben Carson explain foreign policy, or any issue really. It's like listening to a three-year-old child explain trigonometry. It's cute. Word comes out now that Dr. Crazy McSleepy Pants doesn't understand what his foreign policy advisers have been telling him. Duane Clarridge, a former CIA agent (who was involved in Iran-Contra...
