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…

Some jailbirds fantasize about women in prison. Others dream about what political party would make them happy.
I hope everyone knows that felons (prisoners) can’t vote.
Oops. In some states, now, apparently felons can vote. (Maine and Vermont, at the date of this article, 2008).
A loose-knit group of national organizations working to restore voting rights includes the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN (Bell’s employer); the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and the Brennan Center for Justice.
Last month, Obama campaign workers took down a sign at their headquarters in Pottstown, Pa., that said “Felons can vote,” because it might have sent the wrong message.
Hysterical! I guess Obama didn’t want to be the candidate of former inmates. :) Inmates are predominantly black and Hispanic in most states, and the article goes on to say that people who have committed felonies (jailbirds), are young, with a poor education, and “these demographics are traditionally Democrats.”
Oh, my. :)
Kind of a funny situation in California now.
Jerry Brown wants to hurry up and put a proposition on the ballot in June for voters: can he set up a special election to extend higher tax rates on sales, vehicles and income for five years. It’s not exactly raising taxes, but doesn’t lower anything. (Our sales tax is almost 10%, outrageous.)
From the Sacramento Bee:
Brown is negotiating with a splinter group of five GOP lawmakers, whose wish list contains issues that have divided the Capitol for decades.
Republicans want to curb union power and demands, and put a hard cap on spending. So why are these 5 Republicans acting like rogue elephants (dangerous when separated from their herd!) and acting beguiled by Governor Brown’s tax increases? Beats me.
Sacramento can’t decide whether we’re more like Junior High or High School, however.
Dems vs the Taxpayer Caucus – RUMBLE!
Oh, I do like the slapfights in California politics. Wisconsin is in it to win; we’re in it to flex our muscle, even without the Governator.
The Taxpayer Caucus is the newest clique. Tony Strickland, a State Senator who started the caucus, so probably isn’t biased at all, writes about it in the Ventura County Star.
California’s taxes are some of the highest in the nation. We have the highest sales taxes. Our corporate income tax is the highest west of the Mississippi. Our personal income taxes are the third-highest in the nation.
Sadly, all true. The sales tax, especially, puts a little sad face on me. :(
Who ya going to vote for in the California Primary?
I thought everyone could use some help on this. I’ve been doing cartoons on California and the upcoming elections for almost 6 months now for CalWatchdog, this extraordinary journalism site for a think tank in Northern California, but haven’t posted many of them here yet. It’s time.
Okay, now this was a pretty impressive campaign move. This Youtube on Tom Campbell as a demon sheep – or is it all other Republicans in general are sheep? – by Republican Carly Fiorina is classic Hollywood, and it went viral in days! Gather calls it “the most bizarre political ad ever.” And oddly enough, the makers of this video, just set up their own website 2 days ago, calling this a trilogy!
I think Fiorina’s…exaggerating. Plus, it’s not my voting dealie, so no comment on that election. More cartoons below.
When I started cartooning for Slate, they labeled me as a cartoonist on the right. I wasn’t totally comfortable with that, and yet I was mostly conservative… Well, no one…
