Today's Syndicate cartoon

The Two-headed Newt

Blago checks in at the Gray Bar Hotel

December's obligatory Santa cartoon

Euroed

Forgot to post this one on Friday. Well, it looks like the "great experiment" in Europe has done nothing except bring down the world economy. Countries (and esp. their banks) are so interconnected now that it seems when a politician sneezes in Italy, the entire planet catches a cold. I found it interesting that the moment the EU determined that they were actually going to get together and hammer out a plan, that our markets stabilized. We'll see how long it lasts.

Sneak peek - tomorrow's syndicate cartoon

I just hope Cain hangs on another week. Actually, I hope he doesn't drop out at all. Newt turned infidelity into an art form, so why is he surging in the polls? Bill Clinton did exactly what everyone thought he did in the oval office, and was elected to a second term. I have a theory about the whole thing, but my wife says I need to keep that one to myself.
