Clemency in Alabama is a farce by Stephen Cooper In about two weeks, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley -- himself a desperate cartoonish candidate for clemency from the people of Alabama (who he has so profoundly betrayed) -- will be the sole arbiter of clemency for Mr. Vernon Madison, an African-American death row inmate; On May 12, Mr. Madison is scheduled to be executed … [Read more...] about Clemency in Alabama is a farce (Guest Voice)
Passover is the original and forever freedom song
Passover is the best gift the Jewish people ever gave to the world; nobody who was ever a human being could turn down its message of freedom, its transformation of the taste of tears into the wine of hope, its view of the leaves of parsley as the springtime of redemption. Passover is a freeing father’s story and a redeeming bowl of chicken soup from a mother at a time when … [Read more...] about Passover is the original and forever freedom song
Cartoons: Bathroom Logic
Bathroom Logic by Clay Jones Isn’t it kinda amazing that Donald Trump is less of a bigot than Ted Cruz? Seriously, what demographic is Ted Cruz aiming for? Trump said if Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, walked into Trump Tower that Jenner could use whichever restroom she chose (I’m going with “she” because that’s how she chooses to be identified) and that he’d be … [Read more...] about Cartoons: Bathroom Logic
Obama and Putin are opposite types of leaders (Guest Voice)
Obama and Putin are opposite types of leaders By Ira Sharkansky JERUSALEM — Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin are at opposite poles. One comes from a long tradition of idealism, speaking about great values, and usually ending up a long way from what was promised. The other represents the essence of realpolitik, or if I can take it, it’s mine. Woodrow Wilson was an extremist … [Read more...] about Obama and Putin are opposite types of leaders (Guest Voice)

Patrick Buchanan is wrong about Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson
Either Pat Buchanan is as racist as his critics claim him to be, or he is woefully ignorant about the historical records of Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson. In a column titled Dishonoring General Jackson, Buchanan writes the following: "In Samuel Eliot Morison's "The Oxford History of the American People," there is a single sentence about Harriet Tubman. "An illiterate … [Read more...] about Patrick Buchanan is wrong about Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson
Cartoons: Jilted Democrats
Jilted Democrats by Clay Jones I’m going to be accused, again, of being in Hillary Clinton’s camp. I’m not. In fact, there was a time I couldn’t stand her. That was back in the 1990’s and to be honest, she wasn’t the only one who changed. I like Hillary Clinton. I like Bernie Sanders too. I love there is a dialogue. Liking one does not mean you have to hate the other. … [Read more...] about Cartoons: Jilted Democrats

The… … [Read more...] about Who will win over the voters who aren’t angry?
Cartoons: Prince
Prince by Clay Jones A good cartoonist isn’t a fan of drawing obituary cartoons. Sometimes a figure is so big you have to. And rarely, but it happens, a figure was so influential that you want to. I wanted to draw something for Prince. Before the first crying doves cartoon was published (there’s at least two by this point), not only professional cartoonists, but readers … [Read more...] about Cartoons: Prince
