Cartoon Saturday


The beatings will continue until morale improves ...

The House of Representatives delivered its articles of impeachment on Der Furor to a reluctant Senate; Queen Elizabeth II called a family meeting to discuss what to do about the desire of Prince Harry and his wife to "step back" from royal duties; in a dramatic postscript to the latest Democratic candidates debate, Senator Elizabeth Warren accused Senator Bernie Sanders of calling her a liar on national television; a West Point cadet tried to raise money online to cover the travel expenses of his favorite adult-film star so she could be his date at the service academy’s annual winter banquet; and the US and China have signed a "Phase 1" trade agreement that aims to ease the trade war between the two countries, but does not address the most important US concerns.

This week, as we prepare for the spectacle of Der Furor's impeachment trial, I thought a collection of cartoons about lawyers and courtrooms would be appropriate ...

What a tangled web lawyers weave ...


Who knows, any more? ...


In this administration, it's a justifiable concern ...


Good try, but it's unlikely to help ...


If we had a real Department of Justice and a legitimate Senate trial, we probably wouldn't need the dancers ...


Three takes on the classic objection of "Leading the Witness" ...


and ...


and ...


This is probably the most critical question in most modern trials ...


How Der Furor probably looks at things ...


And our trials go on. Sigh.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, on Poetry Sunday. See you then.

Just because your kids are the only ones in your neighborhood to be homeschooled doesn't mean that you're alone. Not only can you find other homeschooling parents in your city, but you'll find many groups online who share your philosophy that education begins at home. There are conferences, clubs and even support groups waiting for you to use their resources. There are even cruised! If you take the time to search, you'll find a treasure trove lies before you.

The pressure used during massage is essentil for many different goals. The best way to work out knots is to apply a lot of pressure for them. Simply applying pressure to these areas, without letting up, should help the body relax. This is also known as deep tissue massage.
