Cartoon Saturday

The earth shook in Washington, DC, yesterday...it was first thought the Republicans had cooperated with the Democrats on something, but it was just a magnitude 3.6 earthquake; a former State Department analyst was sentenced to life in prison for spying for Cuba for almost 30 years; sports reporter and Dancing with the Stars competitor Erin Andrews has filed a lawsuit alleging negligence on the part of the hotels where a stalker secretly videotaped her through a peephole; a new cap may have stopped the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico from a wrecked drilling rig; and Apple has offered to provide free cases as a fix for problems cited by many owners of its new iPhone 4.

If it weren't for Cartoon Saturday, how could you make sense of it all?

Agnes's car needs some work. Okay, a lot of work. I expect a diagnosis something like this...

As NASA continues its efforts to determine whether or not there is life elsewhere in the universe, we can anticipate possible new sorts of diplomatic problems ...

Agnes and I have eaten in some pretty fancy restaurants over the years, and since we enjoy reading while we dine, this one hit close to home ...

Two riffs on a theme ...

And ...
There's nothing like a good Happy Hour. And nothing like a place that knows how to make it even happier ...

Have a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.

Humpty Dumpty is always a good laugh.

There was a great cartoon this week about a sheep that stalked a woman..."Everywhere that Mary went that lamb was sure to go" was the caption.

Wouldn't that last one be an interesting way to run congress. Nobody gets to talk. Just shut up and vote.

Jean-Luc - can you send me a copy of that cartoon, or tell me where you saw it so I can track it down? Thanks! B.
