Today's cartoon was how we lost the Spanish American War. At least in the sense that we're still paying a phone tax to cover the cost of the war (3%). Congress voted to end it in 2000, but "somebody" vetoed the bill. (Clinton).

Then it asks you to write your senator and tell them how you feel about this tax. It even says a handy email form can be found at the Americans for Tax Reform website (ATR.org).

No mention of Bloom County or Dilbert, both of which have regularly exposed the hypocrisy of the politically correct left.

In explaining his political shift, Capp described an ideological journey that countless other liberals would make in the decades to follow. “What began to bother me, privately, was that, as things grew better, the empire of the needy seemed to grow larger. Somehow they became entitled to government gifts other people couldn’t get, such as people who worked,” Capp explained. “Yet I remained a loyal liberal,” he continued. “I lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the home of liberalism. I spoke at liberal banquets in New York, Los Angeles, Washington. One day a lady photographer came to my studio and showed me a collection of Boston photographs. A publisher would publish them if only I would rattle off the captions. . . . Well, one doesn’t turn down a lady liberal. . . . This one, she said, will break your heart. She showed me a picture of a city street. It was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining. Garbage cans were tipped on the sidewalk. Bottles lined the gutters. On a porch sprawled a half dozen teenagers, drinking and smoking. The caption, I said, should be, ‘Get up off your asses and clean the street!’ The lady stormed out. I guess that was when I began leaving what liberalism had become.”

Fanstastic article...I especially loved this from Al Capp:

One day a lady photographer came to my studio and showed me a collection of Boston photographs. A publisher would publish them if only I would rattle off the captions. . . . Well, one doesn’t turn down a lady liberal. . . . This one, she said, will break your heart. She showed me a picture of a city street. It was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining.

Capp also came up with Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (SWINE).

about daily online comics: I have been following Sluggy Freelance for a couple of years, and find it to the right of center, in a gently South Park kind of way.

Calvin and Hobbes still rocks the best of them.

No clue as to ideology as far as Watterson or Calvin goes.

Stantis worries about the nation’s moral condition. (Having once studied to be an Episcopalian priest, he says he’s “now looking seriously at Catholicism.”)

This is buried in the article about conservative editorial cartoonists.

So where's mention of the LeftersonsThey are outrageously funny.

Upton Lefterson: "Dad" - Naive Corporate Sensitivity Trainer
Imelda Lefterson: "Mom" - Director of Diversity at DSHS
Hillary Lefterson: The 14-year-old daughter - Already a liberal activist
Stalin Lefterson: Precocious 10-year-old son & Tommy's best friend
"Gorby" - Conservative goldfish swimming in a sea of liberalism in the Lefterson livingroom.
"Fidel" - Dopey, but loveable crossbreed family dog, without a clue
Aunt Janet: (Reno) Former government official and Imelda's odd and unpredictable sister
Tommy: Stalin's conservative (black) neighbor and, ironically, his best friend
Ron and Maggie: Tommy's (black) parents and, hopefully, influential friends of the Leftersons
Hugh Jeego: Blatantly liberal TV news anchor

Check em out.

Bravo for Bruce & his successors.

"When you get a survey that says the majority of 13-year-old girls have either performed oral sex or were looking forward to doing so in the next six months"

Huh? That can't be true, surely.

About 3 this AM I watched the HBO "Six Feet Under" episode I taped last night. The series is very quirky and even though they are always trashing Bush, I get a kick out of watching all these lefty characters make messes of their lives because they live their politics.

It is enough to make me think maybe some stealth GOP writer is churning it out while laughing his ass off! Actually I am wishing I was that stealthly GOP writer making big bucks off showing the left going down the tubes while singing their Anti-W tirade...
