What's scarier than Donald Trump not knowing that presidents do not appoint special prosecutors to punish their political opponents? Donald Trump knowing it. Donald Trump entered Sunday night's debate with a very low bar and he began the evening by crawling under it. Trump held a news conference before the event with several of Bill... Continue Reading →
Blame For A Hurricane
While you can't entirely blame Climate Change for natural disasters, there's a lot more evidence for it being a cause than gay marriage. Yes, there are right-wing nut jobs and religious zealots blaming gays for Hurricane Matthew. One contributor for a popular anti-gay website (I'm not going to promote here by posting their name) is...

That Mexican Thing
If you had Googled "whipping out that Mexican thing" yesterday you probably would have stumbled upon some disturbing websites. Today you'll find the most memorable line from the Vice Presidential debate which was made by Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence, governor of Indiana. He was retorting back to Tim Kaine, U.S. Senator from Virginia,... Continue Reading →
Creepy Clowns
There seems to be a new fad, probably temporary, of creepy clown sightings. This "clown phenomenon" started in Greenville, South Carolina where some children reported a clown trying to entice them to follow him/her into the woods. Since then there have been reported sightings of clowns across the East Coast, mostly at college campuses. They... Continue Reading →
Basement Berners
I'm not trying to slam people who currently or have lived in basements. Basements can be cool places. I have never lived in one but I have been in two bands that practiced in them and I even recorded in an album in a basement studio (punk rock, yeah!). When I was married and first...

Trump Man
I feel a little bad using "Taxman" from The Beatles for this cartoon. The Beatles were brilliant song writers (except for Ringo) and Trump is only a brilliant con man. It's not the first time Donald Trump had a rough week. The week after the Republican National Convention Trump squandered any momentum he may have... Continue Reading →
Up In Smoke
First, let me start this with the news update that Tommy Chong is not dead. Mr. Chong has recently been included among celebrities who are victims of death hoaxes that have gone viral. Tommy is still kickin'....man. Yesterday I published a cartoon and column on newspaper endorsements. I'm going to write about them again. While... Continue Reading →
Endorsing Trump
Newspaper endorsements don't really help politicians or sway elections. Even endorsements from other politicians don't persuade voters. What they do is give reason to vote, or not to vote, for a particular candidate and shows the direction the person, newspaper, union, organization, etc., wants the country to move toward. A lot of times it's not... Continue Reading →
Snake On A Plane
Donald Trump is a pig and a bore. During the debate Hillary Clinton brought up Trump's derogatory comments toward women in the past. After Alicia Machado won Trump's 1996 Miss Universe pageant Trump engaged in a shaming campaign against her. He was disappointed in her weight gain and referred to her as "Miss Piggy" and...

Trump Poops Out
How bad did Donald Trump do at the first presidential debate against Democrat Hillary Clinton? The Mexican Peso increased in value by two points. In fact, markets world-wide have gone up in reaction over Trump's dismal pouty performance. The entire planet is anticipating a Trump electoral defeat. Before the debate everyone was asking which Donald... Continue Reading →
