Cartoon Saturday

Threatener-in-Chief Osama bin Laden has issued yet another threat, this time to France; in New York City, a juvenile justice counselor has been convicted of sexually abusing two female teens in his care; authorities in Germany have charged two doctors with negligent manslaughter after a German porn actress died following breast enlargement surgery; Democratic representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee struck a blow for sober judgment, reasoned debate and civility in government when he compared GOP charges that the government is taking over health care to lies spread by Nazis before the Holocaust; and legal executions in the United States may be delayed because the sole American manufacturer of an anesthetic widely used in lethal injections has announced that it will no longer produce the drug.

Just in time, Cartoon Saturday rides to your intellectual rescue.

Great moments in merchandise returns ...

And finally, Shoe states the obvious ...

It looks like it's going to be a really cold weekend here in Northern Virginia ... no snow until around mid-week, but bitter cold. How cold is it going to be? Well, the lawyers are all standing around with their hands in their own pockets.

And that's cold.

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