Where do these weeks keep coming from? ...
During his visit to the White House, Canadian Prime Minister Carney provided a master class in how to politely tell Der Furor to stuff his idea of Canada as the 51st state; the Papal Conclave selected Robert Cardinal Prevost, who has selected the name Leo XIV, as the new Pope; perennial nuclear-armed enemies India and Pakistan edged closer to open war in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on tourists in Indian-occupied Kashmir; unwilling to be upstaged by India and Pakistan, North Korea launched several ballistic missiles into the ocean; retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter has died at the age of 85; and at El Paso, Texas, border control officials arrested an American citizen who was smuggling 113 grams of fentanyl in her vagina ... a CBP spokesman described this method of fentanyl smuggling as "risky on many levels."
As we close in on graduation season, I thought it would be appropriate to feature a collection of cartoons about education. Or what passes for education under Der Furor's administration.
I've heard it said that the bachelor's degree is the 2025 equivalent of the GED ...
With any luck, it'll still be there when you arrive on campus ...
It doesn't take long to get that first call ...
This is a little outdated now, as the GOP would not want to use deadly force to protect students studying something as useless as art ...
Field trip ...
These were the only tablets approved by the administration ...
Getting an early start on training for a career in politics ...
This really shouldn't be funny ...
Another flashback: this cartoon reminds me of the time back in grad school when the professor returned my graded paper with the note, "Such persiflage!"
And so we come to the end of another Cartoon Saturday, which I hope gave you a lift in these trying times.
Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday returns with verse appropriate for Mother's Day. See you then.

A middle aged gal was interviewed on the news last night. She said she had just got her cancer treatments paid off and now she needs to start paying off her $185,000 student loan.
These are great! Especially like the Machiavelli School field trip.
