Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Other than voting and drawing political cartoons, I am not an activist. By that I mean, I don't protest. I don't sign petitions. I don't write or call my congressman or senators (they'd call me first). I don't contribute money to causes or political campaigns. I don't plant signs in my front yard. I don't... Continue Reading →
I'm not saying that if you're a conservative who is in favor of strong and strict immigration policies, then you're on the same side as a terrorist or the equivalent. But, if you're using the issue of immigration to malign people and you use the same talking points and lies that inspired a terrorist to... Continue Reading →
Trump and other Republicans are real quick to use the term "radical Islamic terrorists." They were very critical of President Obama for not using the term and his refusal to accuse an entire religion of being terrorists. But, when terrorism is committed by white Christians, Donald Trump isn't sure who to blame. After a white... Continue Reading →

Showing that they can do the Occupy Wall Street crowd one better, a group of right wing militants are now Occupy Bird Sanctuary. A federal bird sanctuary that is. Remember that crazy old rancher who was dickering with the government over his cattle grazing on federal land? Cliven Bundy, inspired a standoff between armed local anti-government...

Republicans and the NRA think it's perfectly fine to sell guns to people on the No-Fly List. Sure, someone may be a suspected terrorist but let's not infringe upon their 2nd Amendment rights. Their defense is that there are flaws with the No-Fly List and people are often put on it by mistake. What's the... Continue Reading →
Ever since Obama said Climate Change is a greater threat than ISIS, conservatives have been giving him a lot of grief. The thing is, he's right. Stating the threat of Climate Change doesn't discount the real danger ISIS poses. The dangers of Climate Change will last centuries. It can devastate cities and populations. I know...
