The Public Option Never Had a Chance

March 23rd, 2010 · 4 Comments

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 [...]

More Caricatures: Stupak

March 5th, 2010 · No Comments

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.

Dammit, We Have a Narrative!

February 24th, 2010 · No Comments

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 [...]

In Contempt: “The Deserving”

January 13th, 2010 · No Comments

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 [...]

Cartoon Wednesday: “Search Party” Page 25 and Farting Cows

December 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Here is today’s In Contempt, another single panel on global warming. And today’s installment of the “Search Party” story of Wanderlost. I didn’t do a Lieberman cartoon, because, really, as much of a dick as he is, his exaggerated power merely underscores the political witlessness of the Democratic leadership. According to Mike Madden, here is [...]

Enemy of the Good

December 14th, 2009 · No Comments

Things what make my eyes cross in pain: “That’s what it sounded like to me,” said Sen. Evan Bayh (D., Ind.), when asked Monday if the Medicare “buy-in” proposal was dropped. “To use the old cliche, the general consensus was that we shouldn’t make the perfect the enemy of the good.” [via Wall St. Journal] [...]

In Contempt: Health Care For All

November 10th, 2009 · No Comments

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!

Don’t Be Stupak, Obama – Uphold the Right to Choose

November 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The Planned Parenthood Action Center has a form letter you can send to the White House to encourage President Obama to defend women’s reproductive rights as the Senate debates health care reform. 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 [...]

Just One More Compromise on Women’s Rights, La-de-da

November 7th, 2009 · No Comments

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 [...]

In Contempt: Time Ironizes Everything

August 27th, 2009 · No Comments

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 [...]
