Maybe Gun Deaths Are Carried By Mosquitos

These gun death numbers keep going up at a rapid rate. The numbers I’m using reflect today, April 28, 2016 before noon. If you check the gun statistics after dinner tonight, they will probably have climbed another notch. And calm down, all you Deadeye Dicks and Dora’s out there. I don’t want your gun. I want universal background checks for starters and tighter gun control in general. And I want the Second Amendment interpreted the way the founders intended. Time to get out th

Party Rules

Let’s clear up something. Yes, Trump is right about one thing, and one thing only. The primary voting system is a rigged game. It’s been rigged since the beginning. In most states, only members of the party can vote in the primary. It’s reminiscent of Colonial times in New England when only members of the Congregational church could vote.

Poor Baby!

I’m not a psychiatrist but I play one in Cartoonland. I’ve put many politicians and movie stars on my couch, but no one has taken up as much space in so short a time as Donald Trump. Trump switches gears like the well-oiled narcissus that he is, going between bully and victim in a nanosecond. The important thing for the narcissus is to keep the attention on himself at all times. I have to say that I had to take time off from drawing Trump. I have a low threshold of boredom an

Whichever Side You Choose, You're Wrong

This is another issue that deeply divides liberals, conservatives and moderates. As a person stuck in the middle and constantly being accused of being a liberal, I say the truth is always quietly out there, as Fox Mulder might say. Scientists are blaming the earthquakes in Oklahoma on fracking; environmentalists say our groundwater is poisoned, too. Political hysteria surrounds the practice today and it’s as confusing as ever. This article from the avowed liberal magazine The
