It occurred to me that the “opt out” option could leave us with a strange patchwork of healthcare zones.
Putting America to Work
•
This cartoon was inspired by seeing one of these signs in San Francisco–at the site of a standard roadside maintenance/pothole patching project.
X-Treme Democratization
•
Karzai is stubborn, but even he can made to see reason in accepting a run-off election against Abdullah Abdullah Boutros Boutros Ghali.
War Aims Committee Meeting in Progress
•
President Obama meets with his advisers to determine the mission in Afghanistan–eight years after the war began.
Nobel Bomb
•
Obama wins the Nobel. Tell the Afghans about Obama’s role as a peacemaker…or tell the Pakistanis…or anyone who reads a paper.
Corporate Personhood
•
The U.S. Supreme Court may soon declare corporations to have the same rights as individuals.
Death Cult
•
It’s hard to say exactly what inspired this cartoon. It’s nothing in recent news, but rather my long-term observation that the U.S. government goes to extreme lengths to retrieve body parts. Examples include the 9/11 recovery effort and the decades-long campaign to get back body parts from U.S. servicemen who perished in Vietnam during the 1960s. Wouldn’t it make more sense to care about Americans while they’re alive?
Gitmo High School
•
Strange, but true: The Obama Administration is refusing to release many Guantanamo detainees they know are innocent because they may be embittered due to their long, unjustified imprisonment by the United States.
