Everything in Harper's is despicable. It's a once-great (albeit liberal) magazine that now reads like the nuttiest posters on DU.
The more brash they are, the more it will bite them in the, uh, assets.
I hope that they keep it up so that people can finally see what these people are like. They are digging their own grave.
I have noticed about 95% of all political cartoonists are liberal. Why is that?
I wish I had better art skills because I get some great ideas but have poor talent with the artwork. I would send them in to the local paper and see if they could get published.
I saw Soledad Obrien ripping the Mayor of NO over the weekend. She was relentless in criticizing him for not being prepared. Rare for CNN.
My caption would be Bush saying "Ask Governor Blanco to call me when she stops crying."
Freep them.

It's been my understanding that the levees or canal banks or whatever you want to call them ere breached on Tue. On the Imus show this AM, Evan Thomas and some NBC news babe were saying that it happened on Mon.
Anyone know for sure?
You know....traitors....
Oh never mind!
This is nauseating!
I guess I could be misinterpreting her remarks. Perhaps she meant that this disaster would teach Louisianna citizens not to vote into office incompetent and/or corrupt Democrat politicians who do everything wrong and then blame a Republican. They can bus the "disenfranchised" Democrat voters to the polls when their vote is needed, but when they order a mandatory evacuation, it nevers occurs to them to use 500 municipal buses and school buses to evacuate the same people who voted for them.
The State and local Democrat leadership do everything wrong, and expect the feds to arrive like Deus ex machina and sweep everyone up in their arms and make everything right. And then loot the taxpayers to rebuild New Orleans better than it was, with lots of graft and kickbacks for LA politicians.
And if the feds had responded with force early on to impose order, shooting a few looters, the media would have painted it as the end of freedom in America, and the Democrats would have filed impeachment charges in the House. They would have equated Bush to Franco and Pinochet and Hitler, and would have screamed about "unnecesary" force.
It would not surprise me if, at some point, there was some strategerizing going on by delaying getting Federal help enough to immediately yell that 'it's Bush's fault!'.
The Dims have jumped on this so quickly, they're saying Bush should be impeached - just like they did with the Karl Rove affair, Cindy Sheehan & all the other issues ala carte.
They are cold enough to back abortion, they would be cold enough to sacrifice a 'few of their own' to make a political point. Gov. Blanko has hired Clinton's FEMA director to help her with this catastrophe. I'm sure she's conferred with other Clinton people as well. It's terrible to say, but I wouldn't put it past them.
Plus, it has a side benefit of a huge inflow of money to fix the problems they ignored.
Anyone have that cartoon showing a Democrat with a rainy cloud over his head who was standing next to a Republican with no cloud? The point of the cartoon was that Democrats always have this negative doom & gloom outlook - which is so true.
Do you the SOLE purpose of this is not to get it right, but to turn a RED state into a BLUE one?
I am very perplexed as to why the Left isn't celebrating after Hurricane Katrina. After all doesn't this validate in every way Darwinism??? The strong survive and the weak and stupid die off. Isn't this a natural thinning of the Gene Pool. Doesn't the MSM and the Left believe in Darwin anymore, they sure do cry a lot when the topic of intelligent design comes up, let alone be taught in public schools. If memory serves me the entire city was ordered to evacuate, everyone knew this was going to be killer hurricane, yet they chose to stay and attempt to prove Darwin wrong. The MSM and the Left should be celebrating this Natural Act of Darwin in play.
I can't find his picture so this will have to do.
His cartoons about religion says it all. This man is sick...He can be reached at applesandcheeses@verizon.net.
Well, in a field, you need fertilizer, and they are spreading about as much bovine scat as they can. Then, after time, we will have plenty of ripe tomatos to throw in their faces. We did it with 9/11 and the commission. We can do it again. Our field day will come at harvest time.
