Two Old Pros

Since Senator Specter had thirty years in congress, and was in each of the two main political parties (for personal convenience) at different times, I thought he deserved to have two KartunZ dedicated to him.

Clogged Arteries.


This unlikely subject combination came about due to proximity in time. The two topics really had nothing to do with each other. Congress had recently passed President Obama's monstosity of a health care bill, (a couple thousand pages)without even reading it; then there was an explosion of a British Petroleum platform which killed nine workers, and caused a gigantic leak from an oil pipe which was located 5,000 feet deep in the ocean. The "leak" was discharging thousands of gallons of oil per day into the ocean, while scientists tried to figure out a way to stop the flow. Combine those two incidents with a rainy monday and a cancelled golf game, and this Kartune is the result.

Ignorance and Apathy

This is a tribute to my friend Paul, whom I worked with for fifteen years. He loved to tell this joke; so I decided to assign it to a setting.

Reality TV


Well, it's not the Nobel prize, however, this one was actually earned.

It's Just a Game

The Global Warming, (oops, facts got in the way of that phrase).....The "Man Made" Climate Change debate got me to thinking about times when people wanted to drive other pet projects, for example, when ABC, via Connie Chung, decided to attach an explosive to a Ford Pinto to make it explode during a newscast. This bit of pyrotechnic chicanery was necessary because ABC could not get the naughty pinto(es)? to behave according to script without manipulating them. Interestingly, we are now seeing an all out assault on Toyota, and I cannot help thinking, (feeling actually, I don't have any actual data as yet) that we may be experiencing the same kind of nonsense. After all, the government now owns the competition (GM), so it's important that Toyota be the bad guy. Do I really think they are the good guy? No. I just do not trust our media, their motivations, or their one sided political nature. So a real problem gets treated in a manner in which, under other circumstances, it would not. I can't help it. I never used to believe this way, but they are so far gone that it is embarrassing at times.
