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.

You say Kadafi, and I say Gadafi...

This came about during Mr. Gadhafi's rambling speech at the United Nations in 2009. Nothing special about the event. This guy just demands a Kartune. The spelling of his name is a bit tricky. It depends where you go for a source. This is just one of several spellings found on the Internet. I guess it depends who is reporting, and where one sources the spelling. I've seen it begin with a Q, G, and K.

Nadar joins race.

Clumbsy drawing in this Kartune. While I'm satisfied with the drawing of the couple, the detail of the television, and the printing is terrible.

Ashcroft, gall bladder.

Pompousity begs to be skewered. In this case, twice. (see Then There's That (gall bladder))

Chris Matthews

Some jokes just write themselves. Chris Matthew's man crush on President Obama is one of the gifts that keeps on giving. I wonder which is more embarrassing to Mr. Obama, the actions and statements of Chris Matthews, or the Nobel committee.
