Cartoon Saturday

On with the show ...

A winning ticket for the world-record $640,000,000 MegaMillions lottery jackpot was sold at a convenience store in Maryland ... unfortunately, not to me; a massive data breach at a payment processing firm may have compromised credit and debit card information from all of the major card brands; the youngest widow of Osama bin Laden has spoken of how bin Laden spent his years in hiding after orchestrating the 9/11 terror attacks - among other things, he fathered four children, at least one of whom was born in a government hospital in Pakistan; President Obama has applied additional sanctions to Iran in an effort to dissuade that country from pursuing its nuclear program; and police in Mexico have arrested eight people accused of killing two boys and one woman as human sacrifices for Santa Muerte - the saint of death.

No doubt about it ... we're ready for Cartoon Saturday.

This week we're featuring symbolic cartoons, starting off with the usual egregious pun ...

My nephew Eddie found this one for me ...

It's one of the things that makes Agnes cute, too ...

This is the problem with much of our religious, social, and political discourse nowadays ...

Some people just have no respect for those around them ...

Okay, how about another stupid visual pun ... ?

A scene from the new TV series - Law and Order: Special Orthography Unit ...

Some people will try to get away with anything ...

You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you ...

And finally, at my age, sometimes you just need especially capital letters ...

It looks like it's going to be a good weekend: we had a great dance party last night, this evening Agnes and I will meet one of my old high school friends for dinner as he passes through town, and tomorrow we'll get to visit with the most adorable grandchildren east of the Ohio border. Life is good!

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