OK, most of you guys know me from my cartoons here. You know that I've spent all year making fact-based arguments about Bush's incompetence on any number of issues. And if you follow political cartoons, you know I'm the only nationally-syndicated political cartoonist (350 papers, the most of any Left cartoonist except Tom Toles) doing this every damn day. You know I'm doing some important work, trying to reach Red State voters.
The election results hit me hard last night and this morning, like the death of a close friend. Like the death of the reality-based America most of us here want to live in.
But I've cruised through my seven stages of grief today and I now stand determined. I'm not moving to Canada, or Switzerland. I'm staying here and fighting, every day, with my cartoons.
I am taking this country back for us, or I am going to die trying.
Who stands with me?
Who will do everything they can to take down this administration? This lying, thieving, hypocritical administration that uses fear as some kind of Jedi mind trick to keep us all in place?
I'll do it alone if I have to. I'm not afraid.
