Friday, July 11th, 2008On the Internet, no-one knows you’re a dog.
I’ve been keeping this under wraps for some time because I didn’t want to look like a fool if things didn’t work out. This is going to startle some of you, but the campaign’s picking up a lot of momentum, so I thought I’d go public after being featured in the News3Online piece below. A special thanks to Diana for making so much of this happen…
McCain = Bush = Court Date

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Strong-arming 61-year-old librarians is not going to win the election, Mr. McCain.
You would think an old geezer like John McCain would be more sensitive to the needs of old ladies. Needs which don’t include being strong-armed by security for expressing your thoughts (link includes footage as well as story content). Carol Kreck, a 61-year-old librarian from Denver, was waiting in line to attend a McCain “town hall” meeting. At the behest of McCain’s security people, she was cited for trespassing and escorted away because she was carrying a sign that read “McCain = Bush”. She logically pointed out that if you’re a Republican who voted for Bush, why should you be offended by the sign? Kreck was told “You have two choices. You can keep your sign here and receive a ticket for trespassing, or you can remove the sign and stay in line and attend this town hall meeting.”. To her credit she accepted the ticket and a court date.
Happy Birthday, George

Saturday, July 5th, 2008Your hecklers would like to thank you for supporting free speech.
Dick Cheney’s favorite sock puppet, George W. Bush, was apparently drowned out by hecklers as he spoke at the swearing-in of 72 new citizens at Monticello on July 4. The LA Times on line has a nice summary here, with videos of both the hecklers in the crowd and a more conventional view of bush speaking at the podium. Poor George. And right before his birthday too. Always quick on his feet, Bush ironically reminded the crowd that America believes in free speech while the Secret Service and security clamped down on the hecklers.

Saturday, July 5th, 2008Help me name my political comic strip, and I’ll include you in an episode.
In 2004, I worked on a political comic strip for a while. I’ve decided to revive it, so I’ll be posting some of the old strips. Problem: I never came up with a name that I liked, so I never promoted it. Help me out.
Name That Comic

Friday, July 4th, 2008Help name my comic strip and be immortalized in graphic design. I’ll include your likeness in the strip.
In 2004, I worked on a political comic strip for a while. I’ve decided to revive it, so I’ll be posting some of the old strips over the holiday weekend. Problem: I never came up with a name that I liked, so I never promoted it. Feel free to post suggestions below as a comment.
