Dr. Seuss drew political cartoons for PM Weekly way back when...."Who sells oil to our enemies? What are we going to do about it?" 

Homeland Security Bill and Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals....Eli Lilly was going to get sued by parents who felt their children were harmed by vaccines made by Eli Lilly.A "rider" was attached to the bill that created the Homeland Security Dept. The rider prevented people from suing Eli Lilly over their vaccines.It was a Republican from Texas, Dick Armey, that got the rider into the bill.Bush's ties to Eli Lilly go way back. When Bush Sr ran as Reagan's Vice President, he still owned a considerable amount of Eli Lilly stock upon taking office.When He had left the CIA in 1977, he was appointed the director of Eli Lilly by Dan Quayle's father..... 

Donald Rumsfeld doing his best Spiro Agnew impression. 

Elections in Iraq..... 

War in Iraq......They were naming all the Operations in Iraq after snakes.The original of this cartoon was sold at an auction for The Shelter House,a local homeless shelter. I scanned this one off a copy that appeared in The Daily Iowan because I couldn't find a good photocopy in the archives....that's why it has that yellowish look to it. 

The Case for Impeachment of Dick Cheney,Bush, and friends

Check out this link here, The Case for Impeachment from FromThe Wilderness......John Kerry made a career out of prosecuting criminals. Maybe he can get up on the floor of the Senate and start laying out the case.....

Liberal Media Bias? This cartoon was done when Bush was touring the country trying to sell his economic plans. The warehouse he spoke at sold "made in China" goods, but that didn't stop them from creating the "made in U.S.A." boxes backdrop to make it look more photo-oppish....  

George Bush Reading "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot............I did this one last April, and since then the number of U.S troops Killed In Action has more than doubled. Still no Weapons of Mass Destruction....  

Paul Krugman on Social Security and Bush Using The Race Card

Read up at Paul Krugman's article about the latest lies the Bush Propaganda Machine is using to try and sell the privatization of Social Security.

George Bush's Mission Accomplished......How long until the Paint dries? How much is it going to cost? You want to paint a couple more rooms while you're over there? 

Iraq War Quagmire 

That Colored Fella

There's some pointed political posts over at That Colored Fellas Weblog. He adds to The Beast's 50 Most Loathsome People of 2004. It's a long list, but worth the read...

Liberal Street Fighter

There's an interesting article at Liberal Street Fighter with exerpts from Democracy Now . The discussion centers around Bush claiming to export freedom around the world and Lying Liar Condi Rice....

Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State

Cartoon links

There's an enormous amount of stuff out there. Some cool sites are Fighting Words Comics , Sidewalk Bubblegum , and The Idiot Box . Great comics!

2004 Election Fraud

The Smirking Chimp has a post by Ernest Partridge that addresses the question "Has the case for election fraud been refuted?" Why don't they report this stuff on CNN or ABC?

Dick Cheney's Energy Bill................When this cartoon was initially drawn, the "Iowa Child" that is pictured was left out of the bill. The "Iowa Child" is a plan to build an Indoor Rainforest in Coralville,Iowa. Senator Charles Grassley,Republican Chair of some well connected finance committees was able to shuffle the plan onto another bill, claiming how the project is good for the ecomomy,etc. If the plan is such a great idea, why are we giving tax money to private groups to build this stuff. Meanwhile, the city council in Coralville has seized land from private small businesses in order to build a hotel and conference center near the Rainforest project.Can you smell the corruption? 

Bush DUI, Iraq Elections

Over at BagNews they've got photos and stories about US soldiers pamphleteering for the Iraqi Elections.....Political Animal has some good advice for the Democrats on how to start defining their agenda...Smirking Chimp has a story about how Abu Gonzales helped get Bush out of jury duty on a DUI case back in the day....and The Freeway Blogger has some great photos of freedom of speech in action...

National Forest

SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Republicans........."One more question SpongeBob. Boxers or briefs?" 

No Child Left Behind 

George Bush's Inauguration Speech and Dick "PuffDicky" Cheney celebrating.....or is it PDicky now? 

George Bush and Osama Bin Laden.............................. 

Queer Eye for the Supreme Court Guy...................SpongeBob Squarepants is not gay, you morons, NOT that there is anything wrong with it! He's not gay, he's a nerd, as in "SQUARE", get it? Of course, sometimes it's "hip to be square"....But that Winnie the Pooh,what's up with that? He's got a shirt on, but no pants! At least SpongeBob is fully clothed...

Trent Lott Emcees the Inauguration

Trent Lott MCing the Inauguration....."When Strom Thurmond ran for President,we voted for him. We're proud of it.And if the rest of the country had followed our lead,we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years." Wow, I guess Trent is cool again in the eyes of the Republiklans....Thanks to Addiestan for the heads up on Trent's speech, and Tom Burka for the link. I'd planned on skipping watching the inauguration (didn't want to spoil my lunch), but I had to see it to believe it...Freedom,Liberty,Resolve,Blah,Blah,Blah....

Just Another Bush Lie....

Do you suppose we'll hear talk today about being "a uniter, not a divider"?

Frank Rich: On Television, Torture Takes a Holiday

January 23, 2005



With the torture story all but vanished from television,
Americans can look the other way rather than confront the
evil committed in our name.

United Nations Nuclear Inspector....This was reported to the Security Counsel BEFORE we invaded Iraq.... 

Bush Speech at Arlington National Cemetery 2002.....This,of course, was part of the build up to invading Iraq. Pretty sad when you think about it that the President of the United States was using a speech at a cemetery to pump up the volume on his march to Iraq...The fact that he omitted the historical basis for the founding of this country is not surprising. Dubya is not one to let facts get in the way of a message... 

Bush Mandate....I did this one after the 2002 elections. Bush was trying to claim a mandate back then, too..."What did he say?!?" "Italian,Thousand Island, or Bomb Iraq..." 

Social Security Reform.... 

Iraq War Movie 

George Bush's New War-ld Order....I see in the news today that Dubya is expressing regret at some of the things he's said in the last 4 years. Gotta keep working on that legacy thing, I guess, so now we'll be seeing the more sensitive side of the president. He won't shoot from the lip, but he'll still shoot from the hip.....
