  • Election fatigue: Top ten cartoons of the week

    When will a presidential election NOT be the most important of our lifetime? That’s the question John Darkow asked in his widely-reprinted cartoon this week about the upcoming election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. He’s not the only cartoonist looking warily ahead – Rivers drew the 2024 contest as a tornado ready to rip…

  • Nothing Pro-Family About Influential Conservative Council

    [cartoon id=”215310″] The conservative Family Research Council is out with its latest congressional scorecard. Shocking no one, it’s yet another reminder that the conservative organization’s overwhelming interest in promoting families extends little further than a woman’s womb. Four out of the five grades awarded by the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group on its House scorecard for…

  • College Cheating Scandal Reveals Bad Parenting at its Worst

    Bribing your way into college. Who would have thought? It would have been a way around my rather pedestrian exam scores. My old man did threaten to put a horse’s head in the beds of several admissions officers but, fortunately, the good folks at Villanova University saw their way clear to let me in before…

  • Democrats Have a Socialism Problem

    In deciding to frame the 2020 election as an apocalyptic showdown between free enterprise capitalism and government-controlled socialism, national Republican party strategists hope to shift attention away from the chaos and uproar of the Trump administration and convince voters that a Democratic victory will push the nation into economic and societal ruin. Republicans seek to…

  • California and the Death Penalty

    SAN FRANCISCO – Gov. Gavin Newsom has not only acted swiftly to save 737 souls on California’s death row, but he has also had the courage to call state-sponsored executions what they are: uncivilized. “I do not believe that a civilized society can claim to be a leader in the world as long as its…

  • America Stuck on a Rollercoaster of Spin

    The problem is more obvious than half a leech on the sneeze guard of a salad bar: we’re paying much too much attention. Our national obsession with new news concerning the man blundering about the Oval Office has obscured any overview at all. He has the unique ability to blot out the big picture. Especially…

  • Are You Ready for A Cashless Society?

    Cash is king – but here comes the guillotine! I’ve heard numerous stories about pennies and nickels costing more to mint than they’re worth. But I didn’t realize the extent to which debit cards, apps and other technological innovations have made paper money an endangered commodity. It’s so bad that the city of Philadelphia recently…

  • Irish Stereotypes No Joking Matter

    Ah, St. Patrick’s Day is upon us – which means it’s time for retailers, and too many other Americans, to perpetuate the “drunken Irishman” stereotype. Here’s what three typical St. Patrick’s Day T-shirts available at Amazon.com say: “Half Irish, Half Drunk” “Irish Today, Hungover Tomorrow” “I’m So Irish, I Bleed Whiskey” IrishCentral reports there are…

  • Democrats Fail to Take Stance Against Anti-Semitism

    After the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last year, it really shouldn’t be a struggle to condemn anti-Semitism. In fact, after the Holocaust, there shouldn’t be any heavy moral lifting at all. It’s a self-evident principle that hatred of Jews is anathema and strikes at the heart of everything civilized. But…

  • Why Voters Like Trump in Spite of His Failures

    Donald Trump is remarkably cheerful for a man sitting in the smoking ruins of his presidency. He promised to get tough with China and end our trade imbalance. This week, the Department of Commerce reports our trade deficit is $621 billion, much higher than the level that existed during the Obama administration. Trump’s second summit…
