Decided to bookend Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor event with two cartoons. One today and the next on Tuesday.
This one was entirely drawn within the Photoshop program.
We have been pummeled in Florida by political phone calls. Specifically what are known as “robo-calls”, which are automated phone calls where you pick up the phone and no one is there except some digitally enhanced voice hawking some candidate. I’ve been fuming about it. It wasn’t until I saw Facebook posts about the issue from three friends (G.K. Sharman, Jennifer Huber & I can’t remember who the other is) that I realized I wasn’t alone and made this cartoon.
There goes Obama! Isn’t he havin’ FUN!!??!! And not one press person around!
I have been recently slammed with work and divorce legal issues and was going to pass on both cartoons this week. I quickly knocked this out Thursday night. Entirely done with Photoshop.
I agree and it is why we will eventually fail in Afghanistan. Our country continues to view the rest of the planet as something to Americanize. It’s a nice idea, but as Paul Harvey always said: We are not one world. To pretend that people can be just like us is to make the fatal errors we made with the American indians.
I’ve been studying the fate of the Florida Seminoles in the past few months and it is astounding how stupid our country was to marginalize a group and throw money to solve a perceived problem. All we ended up doing is move around a “problem” for real estate investors with the American people holding the purse. Too many taxpayer dollars disappeared into various Government projects claiming to be for the American indians but really went to buy and sell land and large drainage projects.
The similarity is that the Seminoles wanted nothing to do with the American government, it’s money or it’s land. After a few decades of pushing, the Seminoles took it and found themselves addicted to government money. I’m concerned we’re doing it again in Iraq and Afghanistan. Democracies are good, but that is not the culture these folks live. Though it may happen to some extent initially, in the end these countries are sure to be as they have for centuries.
I would love to see more freedom and democracy, but let’s clean up our own area within our own borders first… one being by firmly establishing our own borders…. before dictating others… that is, IF even we can.
This was a tough one to get out. I had an extremely full day where I was on the road. I ended up drawing this at a Denny’s while waiting for my father’s delayed flight near the airport. So this one was drawn a bit more in a rush than others.
This is a collaborative effort between Ken Culotta and I. Ken had a great initial concept but I was struggling with it. I met with my friend Dick Daniels as I was drawing it and realized where we were going was a little hard to understand. So I quickly tinkered with the concept and came up with the cartoon above. It’s still Ken’s general message with a more direct portrayal.
This is an inside cartoon for those listening to Glenn Beck on the radio. Glenn’s aid de camp and best friend, Pat Gray, and Glenn’s head writer and other best friend, Stu Briguiere, were doing their own part of the Glenn Beck Program last Wednesday. During the hour they became enamored of one candidate running for Tennessee Governor, Basil Marceaux. They went so far as to say they think he should really be running for President. this lead to Thursday and Glenn interviewing the eastern Pennsylvania native, Marceaux, on the air and more Pat & Stu talk of the political heights to be won by Marceaux.
………….
I had to draw something about all this. So I did.
As this bubbles up, Pelosi and friends are in trouble.
This one was entirely conceived by Ken Culotta. Whatever may be in these documents, in the midst of war I can’t imagine that our soldiers can feel comfortable when information leaks. It shows how the digital world is not a safe place.
It bugs me that certain atheists find it imperative to bulldoze what Christians want to do then play hands off with other religions. If anyone should be protesting this mosque, it’s the atheist groups. But, as usual, they are no where to be found.
