Republicans, MAGAts, goons, and troglodytes have been clamoring for the release of the affidavit that led to the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, believing it would prove the "raid" was political, personal, illegitimate, and illegal. You know, all the things they've claimed without any proof. And they got it. Yesterday, the Justice Department... Continue Reading →
Fair is Fair
And why do you get to pay lower tax rates when people before you had to pay higher tax rates? And why do you get to go to Heaven when there were millions of people who died before Jesus could die for their sins? If you listen to Republican logic, nothing should be improved. Nothing...

Student Loan Forgiveness
I'm dedicating today's cartoon to my friend Karen because she isn't just glad to see President Biden forgive a lot of student debt for 43 million Americans, she's relieved. President Biden just took a huge weight off her tiny little shoulders. As soon as it was announced, Karen messaged me about the news in case... Continue Reading →
New Boogie Wanted
With the kinda-sorta retirement of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Republicans are going to need a new boogieman. They probably have it in Attorney General Merrick Garland. And just like they did with Dr. Fauci, they'll do it by vilifying and making a bunch of horrible shit up to the point that his life will be in... Continue Reading →
SDX Award Plaque
Since I blogged about the RFK bust when it came in, I believe I should give equal treatment to the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists that arrived yesterday. Besides, I may not ever win one of these ever again, so I'm gonna talk about it now. Also, I want to... Continue Reading →

But, we have a new number one issue and that is...threats to democracy. Good. Threats to our democracy should be the number one concern for voters. Usually,... Continue Reading →
Teacher Shortage
There is a national teacher shortage in the United States and just because you're only hearing about it now doesn't mean it's new. Teachers have been leaving the profession for years, it was only exacerbated by COVID and the politicization from the GOP that followed. States and school districts are getting creative in handling the... Continue Reading →
Governor Crackers
I shouldn't have to write a long blog for you today since it's nearly 4 p.m. on a Sunday and all I've done since I woke up has been working on cartoons, videos, and other in-house stuff for my little syndication business, but since I wing these things anyway, let's see what happens. I've been... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 150
First off, a shoutout to WordPress which is the platform for this blog (the domain is through GoDaddy). Dear WordPress, all the changes you've enacted, what you call "updates," over the past year have really made it cumbersome when I need to insert multiple images. So when my readers complain to me about some WordPress... Continue Reading →
87,000 Conspiracy Theories
Sometimes I'm asked by people in the real world (like in person and not on social media), "why are you a liberal?". I'll also occasionally get, "Why can't you be conservative?". The reason I'm a liberal and I can't be a conservative is for several reasons. I don't think cruelty is funny. I have empathy.... Continue Reading →
