As it's the state I grew up in, I wish I could say I am completely shocked that SC Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer's opinion that poor people are animals was something he thought smart to speak aloud, explicitly, in public. But I heard this kind of thing a lot down there.… Read full post »

Geithner couches it as a warning, but after what happened in 2008, we should realize this is a threat. He claims that the markets will dive should his cohort Ben Bernanke not be reconfirmed. Never mind the miserable job both men have done, or why we should even take Geithner seriously

And now, introduce yourself to the diabolically gifted Chris Morris(also of The Day Today, Jam and Nathan Barley) and Brass Eye, his hilariously evil Channel 4 satire of  "newstainment" shows. In which he tricks many celebrities and politicians into saying very stupid things on video.

The other day it occurred to me Obama's problem is one he shares with George from Seinfeld. I remember an episode in which Jerry had another new girlfriend, a masseuse. And she does not like George. So George, against even his own interests(resulting even in losing his own girlfriend), becomes irrati

Oh look, another speech. How impressive. When exactly did you start fighting, Obama? "I didn't do this to boost my poll numbers. The way to boost your poll numbers is to do nothing!" he says. Well, given your deservedly falling polls in the face of not doing a damn thing… Read full post »

(Those of you who don't know who Father Charles Coughlin was, click here.) Rush appears to have just committed professional suicide: he decided to be blatantly antisemitic today.

So: naught but UTI. And boy did she wriggle. So she got a shot, a bottle of antibiotics, and a big bag of very expensive prescription food, and the donations JUST covered it. But no dead kitty. Thank you very much, everyone who pitched in to help.

Date of death: January 21. Essentially, the most effective form of bribery has been legalized today. Your vote no longer counts, at all, period. Only the votes of stockholders do. Oh wait, corporations don't care what they think either.

So, given we know for sure Brown will vote against, what do we make of this? That Obama is an idiot? That he has no understanding of politics? Or that he's just a glove puppet of the GOP?

Rarely do I talk about my personal life here, but this is a bit of an emergency.

My cat Artemis, whom I've had for almost 4 years now, whom I brought out here from Chicago with me and who's just about all I have now in the world, took terribly sick last… Read full post »

Thank you so much for dragging your ass on reform trying to get the Republicans on your side, Obama. You could have passed it if you'd shown some spine. Instead we're all about to lose it and a whole year has been wasted, you idiot.

 

 

 It's Saturday, so: This week's installment of my version of Wedekind's LULU, the second page of the prologue, is up and live. Click here, or the thumb image below, to see.

The first Republican responses to the Haiti disaster were easily dismissible and, though repulsive, hardly surprising: Fatboy Limbaugh, who doesn't want people to help, and Robertson, who essentially said they deserved this, much as he agreed with Falwell when he said we deserved 9/11. Pat said it wa… Read full post »

Today I begin my serialization of Chapter One of my adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Lulu.(and to be updated a page at a time, every Saturday) This is my first serious long-form comics work since completing Vitriol in 2003.

 So, you might well ask: what is Lulu?

One of my heroes, the great horror cartoonist Steve Bissette, has a new webcomic! Steve's doing comics again! (Which he gave up back in the 1990s, leaving TYRANT, his ambitious comic which was to tell the completely non-anthropomorphized story of the birth, life, and death of a T. Rex, sadly u

Chapter one of "Lulu" is basically finished. (If you're wondering why I've blogged so little for a while) Right now I'm applying the greys. But in the meantime to whet your appetite, from my Facebook gallery of "Lulu" in progress, a drawing of Lulu's hapless first husband, Dr. Goll. I will… Read full post »

No embedding code, but here's series 1, and here's series 2, complete I think.

No viable young politicians in the GOP? No problem! They'll just peel off some Democrats and then wipe them out & replace them in the primaries. And so far one Democrat has been stupid enough to fall for it. The idiot honestly thinks the party will back him next year.

So

Actually, that's probably a bit strong. "Hate" would imply some depth or fervency of feeling. If anything, from the start of our double wars to today, the GOP has shown plenty of willingness to throw troops into the field by the thousands, but cared not much about what happened to them

Here's a fellow who thinks Obama should be cut some slack by the left, but I think we're out of material to cut, aren't we? Slack or anything. I didn't vote for him to pity him. I did it so he would do the job. Instead he collects an empty Nobel

Remind me please who won the last election. Because it doesn't seem that the Republicans ever left power, or the Democrats are being too nice to inform them they lost. Why? Look at the way Obama defers to these powerless, uncooperative assholes. They have done everything in their power to cripple,
