About one in twenty cartoons by Michael Ramirez is actually worth a read; most of the time he produces far-right nitwittery that, rather than providing balance or nuance to my openly socialistic and lefty views, simply represents cognitive noise. It’s unfortunate, too, because Ramirez is actually one hell of a skilled illustrator. He clearly puts a lot of […]

Helpin’ out my homies
Or at least my fellow passengers on the Lorelei, the steamboat that figures in Mark Siegel’s outstanding web comic, Sailor Twain. I mean, just look at this. Here’s the first page.
SHE SAID YES
After sadness cometh joy. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She SAID yes. She said YES, she said yes, she said yes. She said yes. She said YES. SHE SAID YES. She […]
In the interest of fairness…
…I took on a few other icons. Behold Jesus of Nazareth… …Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha… …and one Chas. Darwin of Down House. Wanna guess who gets pissed off? SPOILER: It won’t be the atheists, and probably won’t be the Buddhists.

An interesting coincidence
This toon, by Patrick Chappatte and via Cagle, sums up precisely what I think is wrong with “full-body” scanning at airports. What’s striking is that I was thinking it just this morning.

I hate to have to admit it…
…but this little political toon by Cam Cardow is a hell of a lot closer to the mark than I would’ve believed, at this same time last year. Via Cagle’s pad.
Worth passing along
For those of you unfamiliar with the backstory, an Iranian man living in Arizona ran over — and killed — his 20-year-old daughter because he said she was getting to be “too westernized”. He was, of course, Muslim. Now before you get twitchty about this, it’s happened with all right-wing godtards. The Christians are every […]
Café scrawlings
I know, I know. Beasts of Delphos. I know! I will get back there. Crossconversting some parts of the text to HTML proveth tricky. Besides, I spent most of this week down with what I strongly suspect was the flu, and not just any flu, but H1N1 itself. Why? Well, it hit me fast, and it hit me hard. Wasted […]
BofD is late, I know.
Issues with the internet connection have kept me from my Friday update. Ideally they’ll be resolved today. Meanwhile, here’s a lovely cartoon from Cagle’s pad. Bill Day got it on the nose.
