Drawn-Out
Process
Now you might think that
I should delight in cranking out cartoons,
three-days-a-week, lampooning
this Festival of Feebs otherwise knows
as the Republican Presidential Campaign,
but
I have no enthusiasm for it. So far, the
whole process has sounded to me like a
pack of chihuahuas barking
at passing delivery trucks. Lots of noise,
no substance.
Seriously, my 'toons would teeter from
images of "Senator Stupid said this" to
"Former
Governor
Stupid
said
this" and what would it prove? Is anyone
even going to remember Carly Fiorina four
years from now? (Herman Cain who?) so
why should I piss time and ink into the
wind on these vulgarians? To this day I
still lament wasting three whole
comics on Sarah Palin as none
of them
negatively altered the
public's
opinion of her more than
her own folksy spew.
When
these particular crop of candidates heave
something idiotic into the microphone it's
not news
and it's
definitely not informative. It's all dog
whistles. A
more enlightened audience would have chucked
shoes en masse at Mr. Carson for
so hilariously self-portending"If
Noah can build an Ark, I can be president." However,
when a schmott guy like Mr. Obama says
something
dumb, THEN it's news. (Which explains
why the media let so much of Dubya's down-home
'wit and wisdom' slide uncontested.)
Yes, the moment will come when the King
of Fools, uh, I mean, Marco Rubio is anointed
by the oligarchy (What? You think Jeb lobbed that softball
at Rubio by mistake?) and THEN I'll start sharpening
my knives and my pencils. Until then I'll just make
stuff that makes ME laugh. Hopefully you, too.

As for the cartoon,
please remember that arsenic is 100% natural and gluten-free.
