The GOP Has Some Explaining To Do
Probably because Jeff Stahler's Republican elephants Vegas-married Jerry Holbert's crazy tea-party woman and cheated on you. Because we all know when humans and elephants mate, it comes out a teapot.
But I really have nothing to say about the Republicans or the Tea Partiers, I just wanted to talk about these two cartoons because they synced up so nicely.

Editorial Comics Review (1/22/10)
by Marshall Ramsey 1/21/10
I think Democrats would be more popular right now if instead of trying to work out a way for everyone to be happy, they just got stuff done. Say what you will about them but when Republicans are in power, they get crap done--popular and unpopular, they get it done and they don't look back. Democrats need to do that or they will lose in 2012.

This made me chuckle because that sounds exactly like something the military would do. I had a friend who was in the military years upon years ago (before he had come out of the closet) and he was dishonorably discharged because he happened to be near a gay pride parade. He wasn't watching it, he wasn't participating in it, he was near it. I think he was in the military before DADT but it really shows that nothing has really changed.

I will admit that I haven't donated any money to go to Haiti and I honestly don't plan to. Our country as a whole is sending money and I pay my taxes so I feel that that is my donation. It may sound mean and crass but it's true. I get so tired of America being the hero of any and every country that needs help. The United State is sending $100 million in aid to Haiti while the United Kingdom is only sending $32 million--not even half of what we send. Why do we do this when others countries don't even come close to matching us. We have problems over here that could use that $100 million.

Jay Leno is a dick. He should've just sat back and waited the two years to see how Conan did and did monthly comedy specials but apparently there was something in his contract about being able to be a huge dick so he went ahead and did that.
Obama's approval rating, right now, is only at 56% so more than half of the people in this country still approve of what he's doing. Granted, it's slipping but no president would ever step down just because they are unpopular (George W. Bush got as low at 25% and he showed no signs of quitting). Also, I don't think Leno is as popular as this cartoon hints, nor is he qualified.

The Supreme Court, in their infinite waning wisdom, voted 5-4 that corporations can donate unlimited amounts of money to the election candidate of their choice meaning that if AIG wants candidate Kieron Legosmith to be president, then AIG can give Legosmith billions of dollar to make the dream he's had since four months ago come true. The Supreme Court actually said that corporations deserve the same free speech given to citizens. And of course, Republicans celebrated, saying it was a victory for voter's rights while Democrats jeered that it was just a win for Big Money.
I'm not surprised anymore by the big stuff Republicans do like lie ("There's was no attack on American soil while George W. Bush was in charge") but it's the little things like this that make me wonder why there are still so many Republicans out there. It's obvious they are hurting our country but no one wants to stop them. Most of the Republicans I know are very religious but I know that there are Republicans who are like me and are in their mid to late 20s. Why are they Republican? I really want to know.

Yeah, Haiti made a deal with the devil which is why the earthquake happened. I just hope that Satan keeps all of his promises and lets the Haitians go blind by Christmas.
Rush Limbaugh is a huge jerk so nothing he says really surprises me but Pat Robertson, a man of God and religion, continues to say stupid and baffling stuff. Does he think about what he's saying before he says it? He's stopped being a man of God years ago and is now emerging as a racist preacher.

Editorial Comics Review (1/8/10)
Only one cartoon today because all of them were either talking about how terror-filled the 2000s were, the health care debacle and talking about the Christmas Day bomber from Yemen. The 2000s are over, get over it. The reason it was so terror-filled is because 1)we got atttacked, 2)some one tried to light their shoe and 3)we kept being reminded of all of the terror incidents by our illustrious Republican administration.
by Jeff Stahler 1/8/10
I don't fear Yemen. I never feared the U.S.S.R. or East Germany. And China? Not even a blip on my radar. I wasn't alive for the bulk of the Cold War and I know how close to war we were with Russia during the Bay of Pigs thing but why do we have to fear the entire country when it's only a small percentage hate us? Yes, let's stereotype an entire people because of the motives of the few.

Editorial Comics Review (12/11/09)
by Gary Varvel 12/10/09
Am I the only one tired of the Democrats goal to pass ANY health care bill and the Republicans goal to reject ANY health care bill? Why should people who can't afford health insurance be punished? I don't understand this. And no one has given me a good excuse aside from either not wanting government interference (which Medicare is by the way) or not wanting to raise the debt. Those are two of the flimsiest excuses I have ever heard. Why am I being punished with possible bankruptcy and/or death because I can't afford $300 a month for health insurance or because my employer doesn't offer benefits to me? Come on, I'm waiting for an answer.

I don't really care that Obama got the Nobel. I even wrote an earlier blog about it which elicited some complaints. What I was trying to describe was the fact that people on the right take this whole thing way too seriously. If you don't think President Obama deserved the Nobel then fine. The decision is out of our hands and even if Obama rejected the award, it would still be his. The Nobel Committee wouldn't give it to someone else.
But onto the matter of this comic. I do see the irony--everyone does--but even without the troop surge it would be ironic because Obama was going to be the president to pull us out of Afghanistan and Iraq, neither of which has even come close to being realized. There's really nothing more I can add here except this.

Who said there'd be public funding for abortions? I'm sorry but if an abortion is medically necessary (such as in the case of ectopic pregnancy or if giving birth would be detrimental to the baby and/or mother) it should be covered. Abortion has never, and shouldn't be, an easy way to get out of being a parent. People who choose abortion for whatever reason typically have thought long and hard about making this decision. They have to live with their decision and the guilt of it for the rest of their lives. Abortion isn't cheap so it's not something someone can do every eight months just because they don't a baby. If someone chooses to have an abortion, you can guarantee that they have thought about it in depth, did the research and came to the conclusion that would benefit everyone involved. And if anyone doesn't believe that, you live in your own fantasy world and I feel sorry for you.

This is how I typically feel. When snow falls, people forget how to drive. They either drive the same or they drive too cautiously. They never find the happy medium. And the people in trucks and SUVs who feel they are safe because they are in trucks or SUVs are just the worst.
by Jeff Stahler 12/11/09
There were like, three comics that talked about iPhone apps or apps in general. I've had my cell phone for almost three years now and I plan on keeping it until it plan stops working. Also, I don't need my phone to do all that crap. Make calls, take pictures, play music and maybe a mapping/GPS feature but that's all I need. That's honestly all anyone needs.

Here is a link to an article associated with this cartoon. I don't understand what the issue is. Colorado State University banned guns from it's campus. Good. Why in the hell do students need to bring guns onto campus anyway? I'm sure the uproar has something to do with infringing on our 2nd amendment rights but I do agree that you never quite know when King George III will return from the grave and demand taxes on our tea again.

Editorial Cartoon Review (12/4/09)
I'm going to begin choosing five editorial cartoons to talk about on Friday of every week. This doesn't necessarily mean all of the comics will be from Friday but I'm hoping to get them from at least the last week or so. If you find an editorial cartoon that's interesting, in bad taste or just plain ignorant if reality then email it to me and I may include it here. Now, onto the cartoons.

I hadn't even heard about this (probably because I don't give a rat's ass about sports) but it made me look it up so it must be doing something right. Here is a link to a blog discussing what happened and the backlash of it. I have to admit that is pretty ignorant that those two didn't know that Borat is from Kazakhstan. What's even more ignorant is just basically stating that 1)who cares where he's from, they're all the same over there and 2)that a comedian could portray Hadaddi. I'm fairly certain there are Iranian actors out there who could do a better job than Cohen, who's whole shtick seems to revolve around dick and gay jokes. Oh, and funny accents.

Whoa. This is new. California is broke? When did that happen? California has been "broke" since the 1990s, hasn't it? Maybe if Hollywood would quit going to Australia and Vancouver to film TV shows and movies maybe California's economy would get propped up a little. It would probably also help if the state would quit randomly bursting into flames.

Is this about how wacky and apparently "fairy-tale-ish" Dubai is or is it a commentary on how Dubai is now considered to be better than the United States in every way (except for that whole "in the Middle East" thing)? I guess, looking at Google News, Dubai is heavily in debt (gee, wonder why?) so I guess economic collapse for Dubai could be imminent. I hope not. I want to stay in that hotel that's completely underwater. I mean, what could go wrong?

I was watching Joe Biden on The Daily Show talking about the economic recovery and how it is work through all the stimulus packages and stuff like that and...I was not convinced. My whole issue with this stimulus is that the money is going to places to be used to start community improvement projects which is all well and good but who's going to get that money? The contractors hired to do the work, of course. In my city, our commissioners came up with an idea to let local unemployed people help re-brick a portion of a street that runs in front of a school. Federal guidelines mandate that the work be given to a contractor. How is that helping the unemployed people? Sure an unemployed person could apply with one of those contractors but how many of those people actually know how to work construction?
Biden even said that you actually wouldn't feel the recovery but you would see it. Uh-huh. I'd rather feel it. Also, my son owns a copy of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and it's a really good book. I'm hoping to be able to read more of them as soon as the stimulus package trickles down to me.

So what did we learn from the Tiger Woods incident this last week? If you answered: "that he's human" then you win. I love the play on words used in this cartoon but the whole thing seems kind of racist. Two white cops joking about a black person who can't drive. I'm done with this whole Tiger Woods thing.
Also, Woods crashed a Cadillac Escalade while the vehicle in the cartoon is clearly something from Nissan.
