Sarah Palin drops in on Oprah. But leave Oprah’s Book Club out of this.

Sarah Palin and book on Oprah cartoon

Sarah Palin's new book, Going Rogue, is out! Oprah honored her with a chat. All forgiven. I see Top of the Ticket in the LA Times just reviewed Going Rogue: An American Life. No, not really! Instead, Andrew Malcolm just quoted from a review in the WaPo written by Ana Marie Cox, the original Wonkette from ...

Veteran’s Day cartoon for War Dogs, too.

Veteran

The slayings at Fort Hood came very close to Veteran's Day, so I think some cartoonists broke out their sad pens early. I did a cartoon on something worse than Ft.

what Barack Obama could learn from Balloon Boy
