In 2009, after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Senator Jim Bunning said, "Even though she was operated on, usually nine months is the longest that anybody would live." Bunning was openly licking his chops at the opportunity to get rid of a Supreme Court justice as liberal as Ginsburg. Today, Bunning is dead and... Continue Reading →
Nixon Derangement Syndrome
John Dean, the former White House Counsel for Richard Nixon, testified last week before the House Judiciary Committee about the parallels between the obstruction of Nixon and Donald Trump. Republicans were livid. How dare he compare the corruption and lies of Nixon to the corruption and lies of Trump? What the hell makes John Dean... Continue Reading →
Mueller Time
While talking to my producer at CNN on Thursday afternoon, we were discussing the best subjects for this Sunday's cartoon. We both liked one particular issue and thought it had the most potential for humor while acknowledging the Mueller Report was hanging over our heads. I told her, "those fuckers will probably release it at... Continue Reading →
A Virginia Lineup
What the hell, Virginia? When did we become Mississippi? No offense, Mississippi, but yeah. Every southern state has an ugly history when it comes to racism. There are still people in the south fighting the Civil War. My former editor of The Free Lance-Star, Ed Jones (no relation) used to tell a joke that here... Continue Reading →
New Love/Hate
The only thing Republicans fear and hate more than a liberal old white woman is a young brown one. The GOP has been bashing Hillary Clinton since 1992. They've gaslighted the nation to the point that most people who hate Clinton can't state anything factual to hate her over. They've been at Nancy Pelosi since... Continue Reading →
Ditching Pelosi

There is not a debate that Minority Leader and former Speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011 Nancy Pelosi is up there in years. At 78... Continue Reading →
Like A Glove
The Democratic National Committee is suing Wikileaks, Russia, and the Donald Trump presidential campaign for conspiring to disrupt the 2016 election in favor of Trump. Republicans say this lawsuit is frivolous and without merit and seek to have it dismissed. While the House committee studying collusion between Trump and Russia say there isn't any evidence,...

Grabbing By The Bush
Former president George W. Bush has been making the rounds of talk shows promoting his new book, “Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors.” which is a collection of individual portraits and a group mural which Bush painted, from photographs, of sixty-six physically and/or mentally wounded Armed Forces veterans of the Afghanistan...

The Democrat Diss
Supporters of Bernie Sanders felt slighted during the Democratic primary with many feeling the system was rigged. It didn't help perceptions that Donna Brazile fed Hillary Clinton debate questions before the debate and it's true that the Democratic establishment heavily favored Clinton over Sanders which leaked emails (hacked by Russians) revealed. On Saturday night the... Continue Reading →
Herding With Pelosi
I may have been watching too much of The Simpsons marathon that's playing nonstop for nearly two weeks. I've been flipping back and forth between my usual news channels and FXX and I think I'm burning out on Homer. But I do love that crazy cat lady. Congressional Democrats apparently love her too. Nancy Pelosi... Continue Reading →
