I’m not against cutting back our country’s military costs, it’s the approach and mindset that bothers me. A practical approach if fine. A political one is not. Current Secretary of Defense seems to be setting up cuts to make the Democrat party happy and not what’s best for our country and our service men and women. Let’s see what happens as this unfolds. I hope for the best, but feel our military will continue to be a whipping boy to drum up votes for the mid-term elections.

Today’s editorial cartoon is reflecting on a disturbing trend in the major press (Washington Post, Huffington Post, etc) in the past week advocating disturbing relationships once thought to be taboo.

This Washington Post story is extremely disturbing. The newspaper seemed to realize this was bad news and changed the title from ‘Sex between students and teachers should not be a crime’. Thankfully the comments are mostly against the story, though amazingly not all. The Washington Post posted a reaction to the first here.

Click here for the Huffington Post story about polyamorous relationships. Be sure to read the comment below the video and see how many are saying people should be able to do what they want.

Then there’s this that was in the Los Angeles Times, I believe, but now I can’t find it. It’s commentary by Richard Dawkins, who has always riled his critis but recently has been getting the fur up on his supporters.

What’s very troublesome is that all of these stories have come about in the past couple weeks. Pray this is not a trend. Though, comments on some of the pages would indicate younger folks are open to all of this. Look out!

I wanted to add more items around the hideout that would fir, but, with deadline approaching, only added the swinging tire.

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.

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.

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 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.
