Nobody is born a conservative.

We just turn that direction when we see what a mess Liberals are making.

This Mother’s Day cartoon is in honor of Cathy Seipp, a writer for National Review and many other publications, who taught me it’s okay to be a conservative.

Cathy was also a fine mother, which defined her almost equally with her political leanings. Doesn’t every new mother want to know how their child will turn out? Especially his or her politics? The sex alone just doesn’t cut it in the fortune-telling business of pregnancy now.

Cathy’s daughter is a proud Republican. You did a great job raising your girl, Cathy.

Cartoon caption: Doctor talks to pregnant woman in his office: It’s a boy, Mrs. Seipp, but we won’t know for a while whether he’s liberal or conservative.

Another Mother’s Day cartoon, about the movies.

And yet another, non-political Mother’s Day Cartoon, over in Psychology Today. Kind of a downer.

Obama found a horse head in his bed.

We’re all trying to figure out what his big announcement tonight is! Either that, or Osama bin Laden is dead.

He’s dead, as it turns out. I heard the news oh boy on Wayne Resnick, KFI. I always try to catch him each week, but this time I only listened about half an hour before I realized all the TV stations might run the President’s announcement, too, and so they did.

I’m glad they caught that SOB, but at the same time, I honestly don’t feel glee knowing that the Navy Seals set it up like an assassination. I mean, what do you call it when they target someone in particular and shoot to kill? That’s not war, it’s like illegal capital punishment.

And now we find out all the facts, like hiding behind one of his wives, and his being armed, are false. Some kind of mess there, for sure. Daily Caller talks about some of these conflicting accounts.

My first reaction to the announcement of his assassination, in spite of my personal problems swirling around me now, was to make a joke about it on Facebook, and turns out a lot of people liked it. So I’ve turned it into a cartoon. (cartoon after the break) Read More »

I’m going to the Royal Wedding in a pumpkin.

Are you going?

Obama and Hillary Clinton discuss protocol for war and weddings

Obama and Hillary Clinton discuss protocol for war and weddings

To the Royal Wedding, I mean. All the blogs are agog over it. I think I’d be more interested if the bride to be was a blonde. (J/K!) No, actually I find weddings to be boring, and pomp even worse.

Cartoon caption: Obama and Hillary Clinton stand before a map of Libya, with blood pouring down it. Obama says, It’s a difficult situation. Then, Since I’m not invited to the wedding, do I still have to send a wedding present?

Cartoon explanation

Oops. Has Obama confused Libya for England, or is he more concerned with having been rejected by the future King of England as a guest at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Katherine Middleton? In other words, just a little joke. We think Obama is concerned about the problems in Libya, but he’s really thinking about the Royal Wedding. For the men in my audience, good manners (and wedding protocol) dictate that one sends a wedding present to the couple, IF one has been invited to a wedding, even if you are unable to attend. But in this case, he wasn’t invited, so…

And why wasn’t Obama invited? Really? Did Prince William have a tiff with Obama? I do consider it a slight against the United States, I do.

Easter cartoon on the birthers.

I can’t figure out who takes the birthers seriously, but when it spreads to our holiday friends, you know it’s bad.

Sure, I know Donald Trump is counting on that theory to keep his name in the news. From Daily Caller:

Donald Trump said Thursday he isn’t convinced that President Barack Obama was born in the United States ,but says he hopes the president can prove that he was.

…Trump insisted he didn’t introduce the citizenship issue, but he isn’t letting go of it either.

Well, at least I didn’t do a cartoon about Donald Trump’s HAIR.

Every. Single. Cartoonist. OMG.

Cartoon caption: Easter rabbit holding basket with Easter eggs talks to hotel concierge and says, “Just don’t tell the birthers where I’m staying, okay?”

Interpretation: Easter bunny is afraid the birthers will come after him and ask him where he’s from, so he has to sneak into town like celebrities do!

When the news is boring, I cry.

I mean, really, who didn’t know this was going to happen?

government shutdown cartoon

government shutdown cartoon

NO WAY was any government going to stop. Their last minute drama failed. Such a boondoggle. (Is that the right word? It should be.) But at the link is a  fellow who believes the government COULD have shut down, however.

Sometimes I wish I had a job in the government. So safe, secure, the pension, easy. Of course, you would have to be able to tolerate some rather common fellow workers, but you could just pretend you were in The Office, and having a good time. (That really is one of my favorite shows – at least the syndicated seasons, not this one, which is why a gov’t job doesn’t look so bad now.)

Cartoon Caption: Man and wife. Man is reading a newspaper that says No New News, and he says, What a bombshell! It’s a miracle! They signed a deal at the last minute, so no government shutdown! Wife says, This is why I married the man.

I can explain the cartoon, which is pretty simple, but the wife’s remark is a joke, to entertain myself. She married a pretty silly fellow, but seems happy, doesn’t she? Also, the dog is blue. Remember, a good cartoon is always a puzzle.

New cartoon in Psychology Today. WARNING – not for the squeamish.

Complete list of all Political Cartoons through 2011!

A little housekeeping note

I really love fooling around with my WordPress blogs, but it has always bothered me that when people are looking for cartoons on a certain topic, whether it’s Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, or Dancing with the Stars, that they may not be able to find all the cartoons on that topic.

Sure, there are Categories in the sidebar, and tags underneath each post, and even 2 search buttons, but still, I’m not sure that everyone finds what they are looking for.

New way to index the cartoons

So I was superexcited last week to find a plugin that would help me get organized…at least on this blog! It’s AZIndex, and you can find it on WordPress. I’m not sure how long it will last, since it’s been abandoned by the author, and isn’t getting updated to new WordPress versions, but I hope something like this is taken up by some other smart WP plugin author.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on June 2, 2007.

Sarah Palin via Wikipedia - just lAY OFF the hunting, Sarah.

All the cartoons on this site are on the page now, which you can find in my tab on the top  under All Op-Ed Cartoons or in the sidebar link called Index of Cartoons. Cartoons are organized by tag names (which you can also see underneath each post). While I was putting this together, I combined or deleted some tags (law, lawyer, and laws are kind of similar), so I’ll have to go through and tag some of the cartoons more appropriately. Some of my most used tags are Obama, oil, Sarah Palin, LA Times, TV, and, of course, death. :) I also have more than I thought on armed forces and military, which I will probably combine…
