I remember this from the National Lampoon. It may be in bad taste but it sure as hell gets the point across.

Then and now

Here are a couple of political cartoons from Red Planet which put thing into perspective very nicely. They call this series the Primer for New Voters:



What a horrible, horrible mistake we have made as a nation.

Oh brave new world

America is so damn screwed.

As always there is an interesting blog post to go with the cartoon. It can be read here.

We are so screwed

Cox & Forkum drew this political cartoon back in July of last year. They could have done it today. Who would have thought it was possible that the Democrat contest could have stretched out this long with no clear end in sight short of the convention? Hell, who would have though anything about this fraked up election was possible.

The Democrat candidates are locked in a desperate battle to see which of them can prove themselves more unfit to be president and the Republicans nominated the one guy in the party who has made it his special mission in life to destroy the Republican party from within.

The real contest seems to be the race between America and Europe to see which can destroy itself first.

Which party was it that wanted to keep slavery and then Jim Crow?

The fools on the Hill

From Red Planet. Their blog post quotes Thomas Sowell:

Prices are like a thermometer reading. When someone has a fever, it is not going to do any good to put the thermometer in ice water to bring down the reading. If you think the fever is gone, it may not be long before the patient is gone, if you don’t do something about what is causing the fever.

Ironically, the people who are making the most noise about the high price of gasoline are the very people who have for years blocked every attempt to increase our own oil supply. They have opposed drilling for oil off the Atlantic coast, off the Pacific coast, or in Alaska. They have prevented the building of any new oil refineries anywhere for decades.

They have fought against the building of hydroelectric dams or nuclear power plants to generate electricity without the use of oil. They love to talk about their own pet “alternative energy sources,” without the slightest attention to what these would cost in terms of money, jobs, or our national standard of living.

Even when one of their pet “alternative energy sources” — windmills — is proposed to be built near them, suddenly it is not right to spoil their view.

Politicians have indulged these spoiled brats for generations. Now, when the chickens come home to roost, they are screaming about high prices and Big Oil. That is world class chutzpa.

PS: For those of you who went to public school the guy on the far right who is thinking that he's taught them well is Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

If congress is serious about reducing gasoline prices. . .

From our friends at Red Planet. Remember there is an excellent blog post which goes along with each of their cartoons. I urge you to go over and read it.

What about a law which says that the combined state and federal tax per gallon of gasoline cannot be greater than the oil companies per gallon profit? Wouldn't that be fair?
