I have been trying to draw this cartoon for over a week. There have been a lot of cartoons this October with the theme of scary news with each featuring TVs. I didn't like any of them. But I thought of this one last week and it tickled me. I thought it was a better... Continue Reading →
Swifting Through Gaza
I like Taylor Swift. I really do. I would like her as a person even if I didn't like her music, like Tim McGraw. He seems like a nice-enough dude and he's on the right side of the issues, but damn if I want to hear songs full of lazy tropes that pander to a... Continue Reading →
Flat Earth Core
Some scientists are saying the Earth's core may have stopped spinning, or slowed down, and may even start to go in reverse. In case you're a Republican, reverse means backward. Republicans know backward. I'm going to lay some science down on you (yes, this is cut and paste. I don't know this shit). The Earth... Continue Reading →
State News Fake News
I quoted an everyday ordinary man-on-the-Moscow-streets in yesterday's blog who refuses to believe Russia has committed war crimes in Bucha, and probably anywhere else. He said, "If this is not fake, my brain refuses to accept it." Since he lives in Russia, the news he has access to probably won't ever tell him it's not... Continue Reading →
Fake News Genius
A lot of Russian propaganda outlets are being shut down in the west by western governments and private corporations. Russia state-owned outlets that have been operating freely in Europe and the United States, RT and Sputnik, have taken a huge hit and are being blocked. While the west is blocking Russia's fake news outlets, much... Continue Reading →
Fox’s Flaming Fir
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace surprised viewers and many of his colleagues yesterday by announcing that this would be his last show and he was leaving the network, effective immediately. Shortly after, CNN announced the hiring of Wallace to be an anchor on their upcoming streaming service, CNN Plus. Wallace turned down a contract... Continue Reading →
Liberal Hack Journalists
Last week, temporary Arizona Senator Martha McSally screamed at CNN congressional correspondent Raju Manu, calling him a "liberal hack." Later, McSally went on Fox News to talk about her harrowing experience of being asked a dangerous question by a liberal hack reporter. The Fox News hosts she chose to talk to about hacks in the...

Did You NAZI The News?
Donald Trump demands complete and total loyalty. He believes any attacks on him are attacks on America because he's America. He doesn't want independent thought in the Republican Party, deeming those who criticize him as "Never Trumpers" and "human scum." It's as if not being a member of his cult takes away the critic's credibility.... Continue Reading →
The Press, Deplorables, And Hurricanes
When the president of the United States trolls his angry crowds by telling them that the press, the people who hold government officials accountable and who often put their lives in danger to report the news, are the "enemies of the American people," someone must stick up for them. While there were a few unfortunate... Continue Reading →
For Gwen Ifill
Everyone who uses social media is in a bubble. You're in a bubble, I'm in a bubble, your mom is in a bubble, and we all know your crazy uncle is in a bubble. The thing about bubbles is that your news feed gives you information that you want to read, whether you are a... Continue Reading →
