Cartoon: Beware of Tourists
Beware of Tourists by Clay Jones I have drawn more cartoons in the past week with alligators and crocodiles than cartoons with Donald Trump. I’ll try to move on after this unless Donald Trump makes a comment about how much “the” gators love him. After a child was snatched by a gator in Florida there’s been a lot of debate about how Disney could have prevented the attack. … [Read more...] about Cartoon: Beware of Tourists

Hitler’s a bestselling author in Germany again. Why?
More than 70 years after the end of World War II, Adolf Hitler’s writings are suddenly popular again — and German state prosecutors are considering legal action to keep them in check.

Brutal numbers show many not drinking Trump’s Kool Aid
[Please note: an earlier unedited version went up here earlier due to a glitch. This is the corrected version.] There is the good Kool Aid, and the not-so-good Kool Aid. When I was a kid I loved (and still do) Kool Aid, and sold it with my neighborhood elementary school friends on a street corner in New Haven to raise money for the Fresh Air Fund to help send kids from low … [Read more...] about Brutal numbers show many not drinking Trump’s Kool Aid
Mitt’s “mom jeans” causing marijuana melodrama?
Mitt’s “mom jeans” -- as they were dubbed by CNN’s Chris Matthews and the L.A. Times’ David Horsey (“Mitt Romney, the man in mom jeans”) -- most be riding up uncomfortably high these days. Either that or Donald Trump is literally driving the failed Republican presidential candidate batty; nothing else can explain Romney’s dingbat statement on the alleged perils of marijuana … [Read more...] about Mitt’s “mom jeans” causing marijuana melodrama?
Is the gun lobby finally cornered?
WASHINGTON -- A political crisis is usually preceded by an intellectual and moral crisis. Dominant ideas that once seemed to hang together lose their hold when they are exposed as contradictory and incoherent. Similarly, moral claims made on behalf of a worldview can, gradually or suddenly, come to be seen as empty. Demoralization comes before defeat. This is … [Read more...] about Is the gun lobby finally cornered?

Republicans’ fowl response to the Orlando terrorist attack
WASHINGTON -- This is how the sausage is made: After last weekend's terrorist attack in Orlando, the people's representatives in Washington scrambled to counter the growing threat to national security ... from vegetarianism. A 14-hour filibuster by Senate Democrats to force action on keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists produced little: They'll get a … [Read more...] about Republicans’ fowl response to the Orlando terrorist attack
Worried Trump Can Beat Hillary? Don’t Be.
You know that nutjob you always see on the street, speed-rapping to himself about God knows what? His verbatim dialogue probably goes something like this: "You know the Republicans ---- honestly folks, our leaders, our leaders have to get tougher. This is too tough to do it alone, but you know what, I think I'm going to be forced to. I think I'm going to be forced to. Our … [Read more...] about Worried Trump Can Beat Hillary? Don’t Be.
Biblical Illiteracy Among Reporters
One doesn't have to have biblical expertise in order to be a reporter, but biblical literacy is helpful when one is going to refer to the Bible while writing a news report. Apparently, biblical literacy isn't something possessed by New York Times reporters Jeremy W. Peters and Lizette Alvarez, as demonstrated in their New York Times story "After Orlando, a Political Divide … [Read more...] about Biblical Illiteracy Among Reporters

Cartoons: The McCain Blame
On Thursday Senator John McCain blamed President Obama for creating ISIS and having a hand in the attack in Orlando. I guess he forgot about that entire episode where President Bush invaded the wrong country, destabilizing it and creating a world class recruitment center and haven for terrorists. It must have slipped his mind. After accusing the president of treason and … [Read more...] about Cartoons: The McCain Blame
‘Hack the Pentagon’ and Be Rewarded
It has been said that cyberspace will be the next battlefield. If that is the case what would be the juiciest target for those cyber warriors? Probably the Pentagon.

Foretelling the future is too much for human beings (Guest Voice)
Speaking to somebody going the wrong way is only moving when the person understands the damage they are causing themselves and others. The shooter in Orlando, Florida didn't drop his gun but we must not drop our democracy because of his actions. We must let all of our inhabitants hold on to their constitutional rights.
