The Saturday Cartoons

We're going to start with something a little different today -- a short video clip from Jack Ohman of The Oregonian in Portland showing us how a cartoon goes from an idea to a finished piece in print… Have a look:



And now on with the cartoons…






* * * * *Here's Mark Fiore with a take-off on that old device for turning the lights on and off, The Clapper -- except this time it's for turning free-market capitalism on and off when it suits Wall Street best.



Click on the screenshot above or go here to see it.

* * * * *And from The Onion, we have George W. Bush coming up with his own corrupt version of a beloved White House Thanksgiving tradition, when he pardons Scooter Libby, with Dick Cheney's former main man dressed in a giant turkey costume.



* * * * *Thanks to all who have come to visit from other sites -- I'm glad you're here. But please know that this blog is about far more than the Saturday cartoons. They're merely a diversion and provide a humorous take on what's really on our minds. I primarily cover the U.S. Senate but also write about presidential politics and White House activities as well. So please take a look around beyond the 'toons -- and come back soon.
