One good metaphor, and a lot of bad ones

The various tax cuts plans, elegantly summarized by Clay Bennett.

And on the other side, in a visual statement I couldn't disagree with more, Brian Fairrington pits some symbolic little white Everyguy apparently known as "Joe Taxpayer" against some evil big swine with a sword, the "Tax and Spend Liberal." David Catrow compares Bush's little Top Gun stunt to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. And while we're in the hall of over-the-top conservative visual metaphors, Gary Varvel depicts Bush's wacko right-of-rightwing judicial nominees as poor trailer home residents battered about by a tornado called "Senate Democratic Filibuster."
