Geez, we're not even a full week into September yet ...
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling largely along ideological lines (though Chief Justice Roberts sided with the liberal wing), has allowed construction of Der Furor's gigantic ballroom at the Gilded House to continue, ruling that historical preservationists opposed to the construction lack standing to oppose the project while avoiding ruling on the project's legality ... Interior Secretary Doug Burgham also announced that construction of the massive, garish Arc de Trump will begin within two weeks, regardless of lack of formal approvals; the House passed a stopgap spending bill, preventing the embarrassment of a government shutdown before the November midterm elections and postponing it long enough to threaten Christmas; famed feminist activist and author Gloria Steinem passed away at age 92; three California college students had to be rescued from Mount Shasta after relying on questionable advice from an AI tool to plan their climbing route and supply requirements; and in Houston, Texas, a homeowner was shocked to see that the DoorDash driver delivering dinner to his home was stark naked. His money was refunded.
This week, in remembrance of the late Dolly Parton and her dedication to promoting reading for children through her Imagination Library, I thought a collection of cartoons about books and reading would be appropriate.
He's got a point ...
It always works for me ...
Sometimes, you've just gotta take the win ...
It's the 21st century version of the faux-intellectual home library ...
I think all the librarians would agree with this one ...
When a book is really interesting, it's tough to interrupt it for anything else ...
I think this one is my favorite of the week ...
It's a common-sense rearrangement ...
I understand the dog ...
Wolf as MAGA ...
And that ends our first Cartoon Saturday of the month, and our tribute to one of the last of the truly great Americans.
Have a good day and a great weekend. Read a good book, and encourage your children to do the same. They'll thank you for it one day.
More thoughts coming tomorrow, when Warren Zevon presents the ballad for modern political America. See you then.
