Hey, remember when President Obama got Chief Justice Roberts all chuffed with this State of the Union rebuke? With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit [...]

Because Bart Stupak wants to screw over poor and middle class women and risk the fate of health care reform in Congress, I have decided to fight back the only way I know how — by drawing mean pictures of him.

From your “liberal” New York Times: But haven’t I read economists saying that a bill that small will make almost no dent in unemployment? Is that sort of thing the only hope for bipartisanship? It depends on what you mean by bipartisanship. Nothing is stopping Mr. Obama and Congressional Democrats from adding more Republican ideas [...]

Click to see at full size. This was fun to draw. And I totally avoided the Harry Reid “Negro” tongue fart, NBC’s restoration of mediocrity, Sarah Palin’s inevitable admission to the Murdoch stable, and, I dunno, some bullshit about health care. Or sex robots. Hey, did you know that Ted Kennedy’s old Massachusetts seat could [...]

Here is today’s In Contempt, another single panel on global warming. And today’s installment of the “Search Party” story of Wanderlost.

Here is this week’s In Contempt cartoon. I switched out the pickups and the tuners, installed a Bigsby tremelo for greater sustain, and filed down the nut. Now it plays like a dream, tone for days and the leads just SCREAM!

There’s pre-written stuff, but I have heard from activists in various fields that more attention/weight is given to original writing. Maybe that’s a [...]

I have been waiting for this shoe to drop: Under the agreement, anti-abortion Democrats will be permitted to offer an amendment on the House floor to the health-care overhaul bill. The amendment would prohibit a new government-run insurance plan created by the health-care bill from offering to cover abortion services, congressional sources said. It would [...]

A new cartoon has appeared on In Contempt. How it got there, I don’t know. But it’s kinda cute. I think I’ll keep it around. At least until it bores me, then I’ll trade it in for an upgrade. Speaking of which, I put a hundred smackers down on a guitar on Monday; after two [...]
