May is almost over ... and it's about time.
A study of America's crumbling infrastructure shows that more than 60, 000 bridges across the country are in desperate need of repair; presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump finally found a new ethnic group to insult, referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocohontas;" South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley signed a bill into law that makes it illegal for a woman to obtain an abortion after her pregnancy reaches 20 weeks, unless the mother's life is in jeopardy, but without exceptions for rape or incest; according to the chief of the Transportation Safety Administration, long lines at airport security checkpoints will continue through the busy summer travel season; and in a complication to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, the State Department Inspector General issued a detailed report criticizing Secretary Clinton's use of a private e-mail server for the conduct of sensitive government affairs.

Sad, but true ...
And there you have it - the last Cartoon Saturday for May, 2016. Agnes and I are in Pittsburgh this weekend for the high school graduation of our niece, Elena, and a family reunion cum graduation party. There's nothing like getting the family together at the old home town!
Have a good day and a great weekend. See you tomorrow for Poetry Sunday.
