Cartoon Saturday

Ah, it's been another weird week, hasn't it? 

Der Furor announced a new addition to the list of actions he'll take on his first day in office - imposition of punitive tariffs on Canada and Mexico to crack down on drugs and illegal immigration ... not surprisingly, the threat resulted in strong, fact-based pushback from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum; New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill repealing a 117-year-old state law that criminalized adultery; the judge overseeing Der Furor's election interference case dismissed the case, not because the charges lacked merit, but because of the Justice Department policy that bars prosecution of a sitting president; a new study by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), found that 62% - nearly two-thirds - of digital content creators who responded to a survey said they did not verify the accuracy of information before sharing it with their followers online; and in Florida, Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky - a licensed surgeon who removed the wrong organs from several patients and fired a surgical stapling device "blindly" into another - has lost his medical license ... for the second time. In a statement from Mar-a-Lago, Der Furor announced his intent to nominate Dr Shaknovsky for Surgeon General if his initial pick, Fox News medical contributor Dr Janette Nesheiwat, fails to win Senate confirmation.

It's been a long week, so once again we're going with the random selection of cartoons ... 

I don't think this is as funny as it once might have been ...

A firing offense in today's workday culture ...

The view from the corner office ...

Hey, it works for members of Congress soliciting campaign contributions ...

Hell, I found that out long ago ...

Well, it's worked for Der Furor ...

Merger, shmerger ... I think this is how the elevators in the Capitol Building are labeled ...

Yep ...

How DOGE will probably work ...

I think the apes would have done a better job ...

And that's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday - I hope it brought a bit of levity into your otherwise dull and plodding week.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a beautiful song by Judy Collins ... no, not "Send in the Clowns," which is too topical, another one.

More thoughts then.
