I entered a contest sponsored by the Illinois Humanities Council and The MacArthur Foundation called Looking At Democracy, and reworked one of my Blog Against Theocracy cartoons.

The Looking@Democracy challenge is offering a total of $100,000 in prize money for short, provocative media submissions designed to spark a national conversation about how we can all come together to strengthen American democracy. Here’s how the competition works:
Create and send us short digital media content that either:

(a) Tells a story about why government is important to our lives, or
(b) Tells how we might together strengthen American democracy.

Your submission can come in many formats such as short videos, audio stories, animation, music videos, public service announcements, infographics, graphic art, even Facebook and iPhone apps. They all just need to be digital so they can be shared electronically– the rest is up to YOU!

There's a "People's Choice" award of $5000, and I'd really, REALLY appreciate your vote."People's Choice" voting for entries begins May 6 and runs through May 16. Be sure to spread the word, and only vote once.

Voting is free and easy, and won't take much time. Visit the page with my submission, "Truth or Consequences". On the right side of the page is a red button that says "VOTE". Click on it, and they will ask you sign up and log in with your email address.

I'd really appreciate it if you'd vote for my cartoon and spread the word!

Thanks!

It's Sunday morning, and I thought I throw the "I" word out there. IMPEACHMENT.impeachment. This one makes a particularly cogent argument for impeachment. The latest polls point to IMPEACMENT.They'll try to maintain a Republican Majority in the House, and they'll call it a draw down instead of a cut and run.

While the Alito hearings consume lots of attention, phony tears and all, it is nice to know that Patrick Fitzgerald is quietly going about his business. Read More

It's always amazing when they're making the rounds on the bobble-head talk shows, spouting off talking points that are nothing more than word games, if not outright lies. Saying that "The intelligence that the Democrats saw was the same as the intelligence that the President saw" doesn't mean the same thing as...

And of course, the media enables all of this talking point nonsense while ignoring the underlying issues, like Alito's Wife's Crying Game. Read More

While the Alito Hearings dominate the blogs (I hesitate to say "the news". MSNBC is reporting on rain in Seattle, CNN is broadcasting a Bush Pep rally in Kentucky), I thought I'd post this cartoon from about one year ago. The "issue" hasn't gone away. I'm sure that people are still working the backroom deals. Whether or not it becomes a hot button issue for the 2006 elections remains to be seen...

If it hasn't come up by 2006, it will certainly be back by 2008. But why wait? The Democratic candidates would be wise to take the initiative on this. Go on the offensive, and don't let the Republicans frame the debate.

I enjoy playing with words in my cartoons. The word "cant" has several meanings..."A thrust or motion that tilts something", "A slanted or oblique surface","to change the direction of suddenly", and my favorite, "Insincere speech full of platitudes or pious expressions." The words oozing from Ken Mehlman's mouth? Cant!

This post about Dick Cheney was originally titled "The Craven" over at my blog, but I named this post "The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe" for the sake of clarity when it shows up in the diary list...

Of course, the original...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

the rest under the fold...

Don Martin,an old Mad Magazine cartoonist, once did a cartoon poster titled "Fonebone Is Watching You". It was sort of a goofy/creepy Big Brother parody.

Now we have Alfred E. Neuman watching us...I always enjoyed Don Martin's cartoon style, and some of it shows up in characters I create, like this one here.

With the Abramoff plea deal, there is naturally plenty of speculation about who will get ratted out.I'm wondering if Tom and Jack have long had a contingency plan for just such a day.I'm also wondering if the Feds ever wiretapped Tom and Jack's respective phones and computers. My gut feeling I get when I wear my tinfoil hat....

...and somehow this is Clinton's fault, right?

This is the first diary post for me.I predict that Scotty will be gone by Saint Patrick's Day. With the exponential increase of corruption cases due to the Abramoff plea deal, there is bound to be an increase in the amount....

...of ongoing investigations that can't be commented on. He's bound to crack one of these days...
