Tom Blanton of the Project for the New American Revolution does some of the best political artwork in the country. Here’s his latest – an updated version of one of my childhood favorites entitled CHALK LINE FEVER. You can see some of his other work at his Flickr page here.
As the Obama administration appears to be stumbling back towards warring in Iraq, many folks are recalling the follies of the Bush administration’s 2003 war. This excellent Tom Toles’ cartoon from the Washington Post captures W.’s legacy.
