Tragic. Yours was one of the few political cartoons that I could enjoy, regardless of whether I agreed.
Now I'll have to be the majority and dislike all political cartoons. |

| Policy wonk = idealogue in my book. And Bush was nothing if not an idealogue. And agressive would probably be an accurate descritpion. He racked up quite the body count. There's nothing in your requirements that speaks against absolutism or war. Had you specified that, I certianly would have agreed... |

| Except for the small government, you already got that with Bush. So, yes, if anyone similar to bush rtuns in the next couple of elections, he will likely be dead in the water. And the rest of the planet can breathe a sigh of relief. Considering the elaboration of government powers and the creation ... |

I heard an entire report on NPR, plus the amusing side-story of how fetal stem cell research had not lead to any scientific developments. Apparently, adult induced stem cells are the best hope for stem cell... |

| Well, Bill Clinton's big two were: 1) Start your wars in areas no one cares about (Somalia, Oman, Bosnia). 2) Do as little as possible otherwise. Honestly, those are possibly the best pieces of advice I could give a new president. Realistically, foreign policy is just like working a high-power cockt... |

"If you outlaw weapons, only outlaws will have weapons."
It's nice to know that the government is efficiently and deliberately disarming its law abiding citizens. |

| Ah. no actually. You think it occurred simultaneously (and there is no proof of that) because the entire jesus myth was based on earlier mythology taken from other religions.
