A mere eleven days into April and it's already been a wild ride ...
Hillary Clinton is prepared to officially announce her 2016 presidential bid this weekend*; at least two people have been killed in a series of tornadoes (one of them an "EF-4" monster) that tore through the Midwest; a former U.S. Army enlistee who posted on Facebook about dying in jihad was arrested Friday and charged with trying to detonate a car bomb at Fort Riley, Kansas; Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz have co-authored a book that delivers a "blistering criticism of Obama's foreign policy"**; and Attorney General Eric Holder has sternly warned members of the Justice Department not to consort with prostitutes.
Normally, I start things off with a selection of cartoons on a particular theme. This week, though, I think we'll just do a potpourri of great cartoons I've found in the past few weeks ...
That reminds me ... I haven't been to the National Gallery of Art for a few years ...
When we renovate buildings in DC, we do it right ...
Somehow I don't think it happened quite this way, but it's still funny ...
Poor ol' corporations have feelings, too ...
The fine print in the Mantis family insurance policy ...
Pun alert ...
When cultures clash ...
I think Agnes is going to do this when I retire. I wonder if Claudia did it for Mike, too ...
Evolutionary change at work ...
A little flashback to Bilbo's dating days ...
Later this morning, Agnes and I will be headed out to watch our granddaughters' ice skating lessons, and this afternoon will be the good-bye BBQ party for our friend and coworker Scott and his family, who will be returning to the UK after a few frustrating years of dealing with the Colonists. He'll be missed.
Have a good day, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.

* If she's elected, I sure hope she does a better job of being a wild-eyed, gun-confiscating socialist dictator than that loser Mr Obama.
** You're shocked, I know.

I laughed so at the dancing frogs.
I can't decide which one is the funniest...maybe your dialogue at the beginning? I loved the matches and the praying mantis with no head. Dangerous mating!
I like the one of the goat talking to the woman in the bar.
Hope that Agnes doesn't get you a kilt for retirement. That bell could be hanging from something besides your neck.
My bell is pretty spiffy. I cell it my ding-a-ling.
Another great collection. Thanks Bilbo!
Great cartoons!
