California Republican’s Strategy to Paint the US Red

When I started looking for a California story, I came across something that surprised me….no, take that back, it scared the #@&! out of me.

The California Republican Party is proposing a set of rules that would give them up to an additional 20 electoral votes. As many point out, this is the equivalent of Ohio, and we know that Ohio was the state that kept us RED in 2004.

While this may be a local issue, it extends beyond the borders of sunny California, with the ramifications close to catastrophic if you’re a freedom loving Democrat. States will no longer be vested with the power to elect, but rather congressional districts.

Help put a stop to this Republican nonsense.

American Politics At Home And Why Nothing Ever Gets Done

This drawing is a bit late for the Friday Drawing for a Reader (see the Blogger Bomb #2 for an explanation), but it’s here all the same.

I’ve overheard the above conversation many times, probably because we don’t typically get married based on political preferences, or one’s political disposition changes over time. Either way, reader Bill’s point about Oregon’s one Democrat and one Republican Senator canceling each other out is a direct reflection of this couch talk on the home front.

Perhaps we should get Gordon Smith and Ron Wyden together in a little counseling chat. Of course, my preference would be to change the color of Gordon to blue, but you can’t always get what you want.

Superbad Dick Cheney Political Cartoon

Ok, I have a confession. I have this little problem. I don’t like to bring it up. But there was a time when all I could do was draw the Veep Pres.

I won’t say any more.

(If you’ve seen Superbad, then you’ll get this one. If you haven’t…see the movie, and visit again. It’ll make a lot more sense.)

Also, check out this YouTube video of “Drawing Dick Cheney with Editorial Cartoonist Justin Bilicki”. Great fun.

Tony Snow Knows Poor and Feels Your Pain

Tony Snow, White House spokesman, to step down, according to sources (from CNN August 17). Tony Snow revealed his intentions to Hugh Hewitt, a talk-show host, that financial reasons may prevent him from completing the remainder of the Bush presidency.

I’m sure this will touch some. We can all relate to how hard it is to raise a family under the Bush administration. Imagine only making $168,000 a year.

So remember, Tony Snow feels your pain.

BREAKING NEWS: Karl Rove to Leave the White House Trough

Today, Karl Rove announced plans to leave the White House at the end of August. Denying suggestions that it was to avoid legal scrutiny, he aims to spend time with family, teaching and writing a book. Just imagine, either “tell-all” or a policy manual from Rove - now wouldn’t that be a treasure of lies.

Rush Limbaugh Endorses Lead Paint

Of all the wacky things Rush Limbaugh has advocated, this one I find most bizarre. On August 3rd, Rush announced his endorsement of lead paint. According to him, the hazards of lead are blown out of proportion. It’s probably a good thing he’s never had kids.

Romney Embarassed by Date with CNN/YouTube

Late last week Mitt Romney expressed his dislike for the CNN/YouTube debate, expressing that the format was beneath him and presidential politicking.

This only shows how out of touch Mitt is with technology.
