Cartoon Saturday


If there's any ammunition left after all the random shootings around the country, would someone please put this year out of its misery? ...

After telling his story in the traditional tell-all political book, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has refused further cooperation with the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection and Capitol riots and sued both the Committee and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ... because, why not?; a man has been charged with, among other things, criminal nuisance* after setting fire to the Fox News Christmas Tree in New York City; at least fifty-three people were killed when a tractor-trailer loaded with migrants from Central America crashed in southern Mexico; former Senator and Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole died at the age of 98; and a new survey shows that 60% of Americans are more likely to pee outside than use a dirty public restroom.

Those of you who have been reading this blog for long know that I have an extraordinarily low opinion of lawyers, and the legal circus being orchestrated around the January 6th coup attempt has done nothing to change my opinion. The degradation of the legal profession isn't really a laughing matter, but since crying about it doesn't help, we may as well laugh ...

I suspect that any number of judges might have wanted to object this way over the last year or so ...


A good lawyer can do that for you ...


I believe this is the legal strategy being employed by Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, and others ...


I often wonder if some juries really would like to deliver a verdict like this ...


Why so many of Der Furor's cronies want to respond only to written questions ...


This is the law in 2021, isn't it? ...


Ah, yes ... the GOP "endless delay until the clock is run out" strategy ...


Sad, but true ...


It works if you have enough money to keep feeding it ...


And Barrett, too ...


Cartoon Saturday rests for this week.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday puckers up under the holiday mistletoe. See you then.

* Because who is better than Fox News about recognizing criminal nuisance?
