Cartoon Saturday

Tiger Woods has apologized publicly for his infidelities, and the news media is miffed that he refused to answer questions that would compound his humiliation; a man angry at the government in general and the IRS in particular crashed his airplane into an Austin office building partially occupied by the tax agency (but at least he didn't claim he'd be rewarded with virgins in heaven for doing it); China pitched a new diplomatic hissy fit, calling in the US ambassador to Beijing to complain that President Obama had met with the Dalai Lama; as part of a crackdown on out-of-control police departments throughout Russia, a Moscow police officer was sentenced to life in prison for killing two people and injuring seven in a drunken shooting rampage at a supermarket last year; and 36 people were killed and 71 injured in Morocco when a 400-year-old minaret collapsed during Friday prayers.

Don't worry...Cartoon Saturday is here to help lift your spirits.

There were two great editorial cartoons this week...the first playing off the Olympics to skewer our elected reprehensives in general:
And another skewering the activities of a particular party...

This is such a clever, yet obvious cartoon I'm surprised no one has picked up on the idea before...

Last week we had a cartoon about a visit from the bluetooth fairy...this week, cell phones make their appearance in the Olympics...

Perhaps there really is something to some old wives tales...

And finally, Frank and Ernest speak to those of us riding off into the sunset...

Agnes is enjoying her visit to Germany, and here at home I'll be spending the weekend working my way down the honey-do list. Anyone with a passion for cleaning bathrooms is invited to come by today and share the experience. I'll even spring for lunch.

Don't everybody speak at once.

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
