Cartoon Saturday

Did you ever have one of those weeks when it seemed as if Saturday would never get here? Welcome to Exhibit A.

Japan's upper chamber of Parliament has abandoned a constitutional policy of pacifism, approving controversial bills allowing the country's military to engage in overseas combat in limited circumstances; Russia is continuing its military buildup in Syria, sending several fighter jets to that country in addition to its rapid buildup of other forces over the past week; children are suffering alcohol poisoning in increasing numbers by ingesting hand sanitizer in an attempt to get high;  top aides for GOP presidential wannabes Marco Rubio and Rand Paul apparently got into a bar fight; and the GOP is preparing once again to shut down the federal government in an attempt to blackmail the administration into accepting its demands.

Turning to other topics, don't you wish it really worked this way? ...

School is back in session, and people are lining up to be offended by something their child is learning ...

And if you've been watching the current political circus, you know what the GOP hears the American people saying ...

Just another week and a half to go and we'll have escaped September ... and it wasn't all that long ago that we looked forward to September to rescue us from August. Oy.

Have a good day and a great weekend. I'll see you back here again tomorrow for our autumn-themed Poetry Sunday.

More thoughts then.
