Just a few photos to set the scene.
Freedom Plaza, Day 2
Currently discussing demands regarding the economy and financial system. Many here are reformists, specifically interested in things like abolishing the IMF in favor of state banks. Sadly, only 15% of attendees of the committee are revolutionists, though my speech was well received overall last night.
People are complicated. Democracy is strange.
RTTV Interview + Rall/Essman Animation
I was interviewed about the occupation of Freedom Plaza in DC on RT America in Washington yesterday. Note the long cameo of my animation with David Essman about the Tea Party!

Win Your Own Ted Rall Cartoon
Last week’s eBay cartoon auction finished a few minutes ago. Final price was $200.00.
A new auction has just gone up.
Last week’s chosen topic, which I’m working on now, is: “Democrats and Republicans agree: Obama has got to go!”
I have just posted a new cartoon auction on eBay. Starting bid is 99 cents; the Buy It Now price is $500.
Winner gets to pick the topic of the cartoon. She or he also may reprint it or donate the reprint rights. They also get the original cartoon artwork.
I also may syndicate the cartoons that result from this. So far all of them have been syndicated.
Of course, this is also a great way to support my work. Thanks for bidding!
I’m in Pictures!
Check out the new George Clooney movie “The Ides of March,” which opens Friday. It’s about a week in an Ohio presidential primary, and they commissioned some political cartoons about the characters/candidates from me. I’ll post the cartoons eventually, but until then watch for my cartoon cameo.
