I get irritated by the GOP’s grade school level taunts at Democratic opponents of the war. Not so much that they are taunting them, but by how completely asinine they sound.

CARTOON: Curing the "Turd Flu"
I actually posted this as a comment on Friday at the lounge, but I wanted to add it to my diary. Apologies to those who’ve already seen it.

CARTOON: Tipping Point
Veterans Day greetings to all my fellow vets! (I served in the first Gulf War as a member of the U.S. Air Force.)
Here’s hoping for the day when there are no more wars.

CARTOON: Designs on Intelligence
Of all the election victories last night, the most satisfying to me was seeing the Dover School Board get ousted after causing the whole Intelligent Design flap. It was good to see Ralph Reed’s strategy of taking over local and county government to advance the Christian Right’s agenda implode. I think this is 2006 in a microcosm: not many people were paying attention when a small group of idealogues and zealots took over, but now that the effects of their actions became apparent, they were out.
In more ways than one, reason triumphed over dogma.

CARTOON: Bush: A Minority Favorite
Here’s hoping Bush’s plunging ratings will have an effect on tonight’s elections!
If not, I hope the cartoon still gives you a laugh.

CARTOON: Words Can Never Hurt Me?
It’s come to light recently that the FBI has been abusing it’s surveillance powers under the Patriot Act. Since the Patriot Act’s approval, the FBI is now issuing 100 times more letters allowing access to “people’s phone and e-mail records, as well as financial data and the Internet sites they surf. The 2001 Patriot Act removed the requirement that the records sought be those of someone under suspicion.” Scary stuff.

CARTOON: Excuses, Excuses
Did everyone see where Tom DeLay got a new judge assigned to his case because the original one was a Democrat? I believe the new judge is a Democrat, too. He’ll probably cry foul again. It reminds me of the old adage that just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you. In this case, even if the charges against DeLay are politically motivated, it doesn’t mean he isn’t guilty.
And now, the cartoon!

CARTOON: Hitting Bottom?
When will Bush’s poll numbers hit bottom? I thought that Alito was supposed to shore up the base, but the latest CBS poll has his approval rating dropping to 35%. Kind of reminds me of the scene in Apollo 13 when they shut off the reactant valves to stop an oxygen leak and the gauge’s needle only paused for a split-second before continuing to plummet. Okay, maybe I geeked out there for a second, but you get the idea.
Hope you like the cartoon!

CARTOON: Be Careful What You Wish For
The headline that Iran is about six months from acquiring a nuclear weapon was the inspiration for this.
Hope you like tonight’s offering.

CARTOON: Clenched Frist
Bill Frist is an idiot. I guess he’s mad because he wasn’t given some kind of notice about the closed session. That guy really likes the insider info doesn’t he? Tonight’s cartoon is yet another example of a joke that wrote itself.
Hope you like it.
