Most American presidents spend Thanksgiving weekend visiting troops, dishing out soup to the homeless and generally refraining from douchey behavior. Donald Trump set out to make this Thanksgiving the douchiest ever in the history of American presidents. I think he succeeded. George W. Bush once spent Thanksgiving in Iraq with American troops. Trump went to... Continue Reading →
Congressional Booty
We do not send our representatives to Washington to use their positions to commit sexual harassment. And, when they do and have to settle their workplace disputes, we should not be the ones financing their settlements. In the early 90s, there was a scandal over members of the House and Senate bouncing checks at the... Continue Reading →
Tourism For Dummies
This cartoon was published last week in The Costa Rica Star. Several tourists hiking along a volcano in Costa Rica went beyond the warning signs and became stranded. Four Dutch tourists and one Costa Rican guide were caught in a rock slide after ignoring the signs. There were various injuries, including multiple bruises, a leg... Continue Reading →
Wacky Republicans
It seems each new day brings us a revelation of sexual harassment, transgressions, or weird sex stuff of someone prominent. The latest revealed that Texas' longest serving Congressman, Republican Joe Barton, was having an affair while separated from his wife. He says the sex was consensual, and they only did it twice over five years.... Continue Reading →
Cementazo
I drew this cartoon for The Costa Rica Star on November 10. I like to let them have the cartoon on their website for at least a week before I publish it here. The United States has Watergate. Costa Rica has Cementazo, and it's currently ongoing. I have to give Costa Rica credit for not... Continue Reading →
Uber Hack
I'm sure you've heard about the Uber hack. No, not a hack of outstanding proportions (well, maybe it was). It was a hack of Uber, the company, which employs private contractors to scoot you around town in their personal cars. Uber has had some bad press lately, so you may be thinking, "good. Screw those... Continue Reading →

The Federal Communications Commission has decided to repeal Net Neutrality. What is that? Net Neutrality is a set of rules put in place by the Obama administration that prohibit high-speed internet service providers, or I.S.P.s, from stopping or slowing down the delivery of websites. They also prevent the companies from charging customers extra fees for... Continue Reading →
Him Too
One of the defenses Roy Moore's supporters love to bring up is, why now? It's a better defense than comparing him to Joseph and Mary, or he never did it without the parents' permission, or that some 14-year-old girls can pass for 20, or that all the single women his age were already hooked up,...

Stranger Danger
The three largest newspapers in Alabama are pleading with the state's voters not to send Roy Moore to the United States Senate. The Birmingham News, The Mobile Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times (all owned by Alabama Media Group) don't want the voters to embarrass Alabama. While we're wondering how so many people can defend and... Continue Reading →
Ingrate Gobbler
The Idiot-in-Chief couldn't stop tweeting dumb shit this weekend. What else is new, right? He attacked Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake, and tweeted, "was caught (purposely) on “mike” saying bad things about your favorite President." My first thought was, what did Flake say about Teddy Roosevelt? By the way, Mr. Cheeto...it's "mic," not "mike," unless... Continue Reading →
