Cartoon Saturday

Superstar golfer Tiger Woods has been injured in a traffic accident; two people penetrated multiple layers of security to crash the state dinner thrown by President Obama for visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh; Iranian authorities have confiscated the Nobel Peace Prize given to human rights activist Shirin Ebadi in 2003; a train derailment on the high-speed Moscow to St Petersburg line in Russia has killed 265 people and left dozens more injured; and police in Florida are searching for a man who murdered four of his relatives and injured two others.

Don't worry, Cartoon Saturday is perfectly safe for the entire family.

Last Tuesday my post was titled Then and Now, and compared things we have today to things people had many years ago. I should have used this cartoon as an illustration...

And finally, you just can't get away from the lawyers any more. Or maybe they do have their uses, eh?

Here in America, the Christmas shopping season is underway, with crowds thronging the stores to buy things they can't afford for children who will have forgotten those things within a week. In her comment on my post yesterday, Amanda noted that in Australia, Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) is the big shopping day of the year, but I just don't understand why everyone would run out and buy boxes. Oh, well...

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
