New Toon: Crafty Racists

Noose Incidents
Originally uploaded by M1khaela

Another cartoon from December.

I haven't actually observed any such exchanges in person, but there were plenty of wacko online blog commenters whose first reaction to a noose incident is always to claim that the victim faked it for publicity. By the way, were you aware of just HOW many noose incidents there have been lately? And how many were in NYC? Crazy.

I'm sure they'd argue that Emmett Till beat himself to death for the attention, too. Jerks.

Lively discussion of ridiculous Hillary in blackface cartoon at Pandagon...

August pointed me to a lively discussion of Chris Muir's latest ridiculous cartoon at Pandagon, and I chimed in with a few thoughts, to which August responded with some further thoughts, to which I had a response to his response, and he eventually had the last word on which we pretty much agreed. The end!

Gwen Ifill vs. Tim Russert on Meet The Press

The News Hour With Jim Lehrer used to be the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour. Why not the Ifill/Lehrer News Hour?

(And yes, this is my first attempt to use YouTube on this blog...).

New Toon: Personal Anti-Immigration Wall

Wouldn't it be awesome if all the nativist nutjobs like long-shot Republican presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo were trapped in these things? They'd be too busy watching their own perimeters to waste our time with their racist claptrap.

By the way, have you heard that the KKK is making a big comeback? They still hate black people, but immigrants are their new #1 target.

P.S. I didn't need to draw a cartoon about Rudy running this week, cause I did it already (see "President Giuliani: The Early Years").

P.P.S. Next target: Ted "I'm 100% Straight After Just Three Weeks of Therapy" Haggard.
