Political Cartoons


Yes, I know it's not Saturday. Therefore, this is not Cartoon Saturday. However, I have a very large and ever-growing collection of political cartoons (this being an election year), and so I thought I'd share some of them with you by way of thinning the herd, so to speak. Here we go ...

Brewster learns a valuable lesson ...


Just to make sure you understand the difference ...


How we developed the language of politics (click it to read it) ...


There are migrant workers, and there are migrant workers ...


It's often a tough decision for hard-shell Republicans in Congress ...


Lemmings are always good for political analogies ...


I loved this recent Tom Toles cartoon, which pretty much sums up how I'm approaching the November election ...


Truth in advertising  ...


The campaign in a nutshell ...


And the art of choosing the right faction ...


And that's how it is. The election is just 56 days away ... take your phone off the hook to avoid robo-calls, put a dumpster next to your mailbox to collect all the attack flyers, and take a last look at the landscape before it's hidden behind all the "Vote for (Insert Name of Wannabe of Choice)" signs. And tune your TV to something other than C-Span ... Congress won't be doing anything for the rest of the year anyway. Not that you'd notice.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

As compared to the two major parties' VP candidates, I'd vote for the doughnut.

I too am taking the fork in the road.

That first cartoon is so true: politics is about winning, period.
