Cartoon Saturday

Somali pirates are holding hostage four Americans stupid enough to sail their yacht in the Indian Ocean; House Republicans are leading the charge for more than 60 billion dollars in spending cuts, including limiting the activities of the Environmental Protection Agency (who needs all that clean air and water, anyhow?); a mother in West Virginia has been accused of smothering her baby while she was both drunk and high on drugs; the budget crisis in Wisconsin continues to search for new heights of absurdity on all sides; and a human rights group claims that government forces have killed 84 people in Libya, not including those reported moments ago to have been shot from military helicopters in the city of Benghazi (note to far-right-wing ass clowns: think about that when you're railing about how gawdawful your own government is).

I don't know about you, but this week I really need Cartoon Saturday.

When cows order pizza ...

They'll have to pry that hairdryer from my cold, dead fingers ... no, really ...

There are lots of reasons why health care costs so much ... this is just one ...

Survival of the fittest ... or, at least, the best-insured ...

$%#@ WikiLeaks ...

Brutal honesty in business ...

PETA goes on safari ...


If political polling were really accurate ...

Truth in advertising can also apply to the names of ships ...

And finally, I just liked the essential how-the-world-really-works-ness of this one ...

Yesterday was a glorious, spring-like day here in Northern Virginia - bright sunshine and temperatures in the mid- to upper-60's ... today, of course (this being Northern Virginia), the sun is still shining but it's colder than a Republican's heart, the wind is howling outside my study window, and our weather prognosticators are forecasting snow by Tuesday.

Just make up your mind, okay? Sheesh...

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.
