Liberty Wedding.


President Obama not only wants to preside over this wedding; he wants to be instrumental in arranging it. Word has it he has extensive ties with the groom's attendees.

The 4 C's


This is a new twosome in my gallery. My niece Colleen was married this past weekend, and that got me to thinking about engagements, and weddings, and honeymoons, etc. The net result was this Kartune, which happily, also introduced me to a new twosome. No, not Colleen and her new husband Bill, but the two in the foreground, the two....dare I say it?, BABES. I think we will be hearing more from these two.

Tea Party


The "Tea Parties" were one of the most uncovered events of 2009. They didn't even make it into Time Magazine's year in review. Really?! Not worth mentioning? The main stream media outlets just didn't want to acknowledge their existence, other than to try to marginalize them by portraying them as small fringe groups popping up here and there. There was some physical violence at some meetings, and the press could not jump on that fast enough, until that is, that the cable outlets, primarily Fox News Network, pointed out that the violence was being delivered by union members, (SEIU?)against the tea party attendees. Oops. This is one more example of why the print press, and major news outlets are dying, i.e., going out of business.

Ten Items or fewer


This is one of those petty things that shouldn't bother me, but it does. (Well, "did" actually; now that I have completed a "Kartune" 0n the topic, I feel much better. :) "Kartuning" is my personal form of therapy. No, I didn't actually see this happen, but I wish I had.

Happy Birthday Mr. Reagan

Decided to experiment with a new method of coloring. This is a bit heavy handed on the wall, but it's a first try.


The Dark Ages

As we keep introducing initials in place of words, it shouldn't be long before we have forgotten what the original word was that the letter represents. Of course that was the goal originally, however, I think the unintended consequences will be to dumb down the language to the point that eventually we will be back where we started; just pointing and grunting. Rather than engage in this politically correct nonsense, I think it would be much more useful, and fruitful to use all words in the language, old and new, and to learn their meanings, and to then use other words to challenge, praise, condemn, demean, agree, with whatever is being expressed.

The Tropisms


Other than to note that the weaker organisms are probably more easily influenced; sometimes, commentary isn't even necessary. That side of the street is attractive to those who view history through a piece of PVC pipe, or a straw, because even blinders would allow to broad a vision to disguise the reality of the devastation those regimes have imposed on their societies.
