I expect that sheepskins are selling well on Capitol Hill again this year. I wonder if Hillary will get her specially-tailored costume from Libya or from Kosovo this year. Another great Sam Gross cartoon from the new issue of the New Yorker James Bovard

Obama’s White House of Horrors: Execution Without Trial
The New York Times had a perky cartoon today by Brian McFadden today on the pervasive fears across the ideological spectrum of Obama’s White House horrors. My hunch was that the cartoonist thought the fears were a laughing matter (here’s a link to the full-size cartoon in the Times). And people wonder why cartoonists […]
