If the answer is because they legitimately don’t want kids: Fine. But I wonder if we’ve devalued motherhood culturally. Motherhood…
Yeah, really they are gaming the Electoral System, and the College is just one part of it, albeit a pretty…
I laughed quite loudly when I read that comment and I couldn't explain to my mom what I was laughing…
I agree but I'll note that they don't just game the Electoral College. As you've stated, they also have that…

Lance’s Harsh Landing
I highly doubt that Lance Armstrong will need to apply for demoralizing low-wage work to make ends meet. Dude could live quite handsomely off the value of his real estate holdings alone. But it’s a nice fantasy. The thing that really bothers me about Armstrong is not so much the doping, […] Continue reading

Bright Ideas from Wayne LaPierre
This is neither here nor there, but while drawing Wayne LaPierre, it occurred to me that he has slightly weird hair. It swirls over his brow in a sometimes-bulbous arc that, for me, evokes shades of Jimmy Swaggart. You’d think a guy who gets paid around a million bucks a year by […] Continue reading

Chickenomics
Threatening to not pay for expenses approved by Congress isn’t “negotiation” and the proper response is not “compromise,” popular though these memes may be. It is, instead, an abuse of democratic institutions by a party that can’t get its way through actual legislation. Hopefully Obama has learned his lesson and will stand his ground this […] Continue reading

Trend Forecast 2013
Not about fiscal cliffery, as I had an early deadline for the holiday. But you’re sick of that nonsense, right?
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, I noticed a mini-flurry of authors of books about presidents on the Daily Show and Colbert Report. Apparently books (and movies) about presidents are hot now. Especially Lincoln. He […] Continue reading

2012 Wrap-Up: Stuff I Did This Year
Hard to believe it’s time to change the copyright date on my cartoons again, but alas, here we are. I’m both humbled and happy to report that 2012 was my best year yet as a Cartooning Professional. Thanks to all those publications that made it possible by using my comics and freelance illustrations, and thanks […] Continue reading
If we policed the U.S. the way we do Afghanistan
A blessed rerun this week so that your humble hostess may recharge her batteries. Unfortunately, this one is just as relevant than ever.
A couple commenters on Daily Kos have argued that I am comparing apples and oranges by placing military action in a police scenario. To which I replied:
I am aware that the rules of […] Continue reading

Respect for the Deadly
As soon as word broke of the shootings in Connecticut, the familiar cries not to “politicize” the tragedy ensued. I find this plea curious on a number of levels. First of all, the people urging others not to “politicize” gun violence seem to come from a particular political perspective with remarkable consistency. You might even […] Continue reading

Fiscal Cliff Funnies
I’ve said it before, but you can’t cut workers’ wages and benefits — and generally destabilize their lives six ways from Sunday — at the same time that you slash the social safety net. That’s simply uncouth.

Pop Culture Periscope: New Food Shows
For my birthday a couple months ago, I went to a farm-to-table restaurant that served a dish called “Pulled pig face.” More recently, I found myself reading an article touting the sustainable virtues of hunting, and the hunter’s philosophy of respecting the animal. I support the humane treatment of farm animals and am as much […] Continue reading
