Cartoon Saturday

Zine El Abidine ben Ali, the embattled leader of Tunisia, has fled the country and sought refuge in the jet-set playground of Saudi Arabia; actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has had her right leg amputated after a deep lesion proved untreatable by antibiotics; a hundred people have been killed in a stampede outside a religious temple in southern India; Michael Steele has been ousted as chairman of the Republican National Committee; and, in Maine, governor Paul LePage struck a blow for civil discourse and thoughtful exchange of ideas when he enraged the local chapter of the NAACP by telling them they can "kiss my butt" if they are upset over his decision not to attend a ceremony honoring Martin Luther King.

Welcome to Cartoon Saturday, your cure for the common angst.

I love my iPhone, but sometimes, you know, you just wanna make a telephone call...

Health care reform is great, as long as you can afford it...

This one is so sick, yet so obvious...

Sometimes, dating that hot babe may not be the best idea...

I've lived in the South, where they really know how to do speed traps...

There are some dirty jobs out there, but someone's got to do them...

And finally,

There are plenty of people around here who subscribe to this approach to snow shoveling and animal care...

And another weekend begins. There are bills to be paid, grandchildren to be played with, and chores to be done.

I guess one out of three ain't bad.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.

  3. It's early and I read that last one a little to fast. It said (c)hores to be done. For a minute I thought you were heading to the strip clubs.
