New tactic

Rather than blogging angrily about news events, I thought I'd try drawing about them instead, even if they're just sloppy 5-minute sketches.



This isn't really the supreme court ruling I cared most about this week. Truth be told I was considerably more upset that they said you can't sue the 'faith based' assistance programs if they treat you unfairly (as they do to unwed mothers, gays, people of other faiths, and so on.) So much for separation of church and state.

This one is equally insidious though. Corporations can bypass campaign contribution laws by making up their own smear ads and running them, meaning campaign contribution limitations are now really only a limitation to outsider political parties and individuals. Don't forget, someone also recently proposed a law making anything you say on a blog count as a campaign contribution.

Goal for tomorrow: Be more amusing and better drawn.

Level-headed Crisis Management

I'm of the opinion that in general, people will treat their pets better than strangers, so when I saw this article, I thought I'd make a comment on it: http://time-blog.com/swampland/2007/06/romneys_shaggy_dog_story.html



Ah republicans. Coming to an obvious solution to a problem they created an then bragging about it.

Edit: Would this be more, less, or equally amusing if the caption said 'Reagan Home' instead of 'Retirement Home'?

It would kind of play with Romney' whole "I'm an outsider" thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pVqZzHm3Z4

and there'd be some poetic justice in the idea that in the end, Reagan might have finally got what he gave to others, not to mention remind people that saint Ron was a drooling idiot who shat himself before he had altzheimers. Romney is definitely trying to look like him too.

OTOH, maybe it's better as a generic person so people see their grandpa.
