Until yesterday I had never heard of the term "cupping." At least not in this context. Then 19-times Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps showed up at the Rio Olympics with purple dots all over his body. The entire universe started wondering what was up. The purple dots are the result of cupping which is Chinese... Continue Reading →
A lot of people don't really understand irony. Alanis Morissette didn't understand it when she released that stupid song "Ironic" back in the 1990s as most of the examples of irony weren't ironic at all. But I forgive her to a certain extent because a song titled "coincidence" probably wouldn't have captured the angst of... Continue Reading →
Clint Eastwood is a brilliant artist. I'm not talking about his skill as an actor but as a film maker. Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Flags Of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, Gran Torino, and Trouble With The Curve are all movies where you would think the creator was a person with a sophisticated mind....

In 1979 the United States government made an arms deal with Iran, and then there was a revolution and the regime friendly to the U.S. was ousted. What did the U.S. do with Iran's money? Duh, they kept it. Back in January the Obama administration announced they were paying back the money. It turns out... Continue Reading →
I've been intending to draw a cartoon about Zyka for a while now but other stuff keeps popping up, like political conventions, Russians, Donald Trump, and Donald Trump, and Donald Trump. Congress has done a terrible job concerning the impending Zyka crisis. If only it had a threatening African name like "Ebola." The Obama administration... Continue Reading →
In the past criticism has been flung, half-heartedly, that the candidate was trying to lose the election. Today a lot of people are wondering if Donald Trump is actually trying to lose the election. Donald Trump is running against Hillary Clinton and the record of Barack Obama. You would think he'd focus on them and... Continue Reading →
I wouldn't say Hillary Clinton is a liar. But I would say she's not entirely truthful. She, like her husband, has a penchant for using legalese to get around the truth. Remember the "definition of is" speech? People don't like lawyers as it is. When she gave an interview to Chris Wallace and claimed FBI director... Continue Reading →
There's a huge double standard in politics, culture, and society. It applies to gender, race, and even to personalities. For example, insanity, stupidity, and rampant racism would rule out any other candidate, but Donald Trump makes it sell. People say there's a double standard for Hillary Clinton and that no one else could get away... Continue Reading →
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention Khizr Khan, his wife Ghazala by his side, recounted to the crowd how his son was killed in 2004 by a car bomb in Iraq. Khan also criticized Donald Trump for his proposed ban on Muslims (which would have prevented his son from serving), that the billionaire... Continue Reading →
Here's this week's cartoon for The Costa Rica Star. The International Surfing Association (ISA) will be holding it's 2016 World Surfing Games in Jaco, Costa Rica. Many people will use the event as an excuse to go fishing for prostitutes, which is apparently a really big deal in Jaco. If you google the Hotel Cocal... Continue Reading →
