School Voucher Vulture
 Even The Washington Post's editorial says Eleanor Holmes Norton shouldn't discard the D.C. school voucher program that gives low-income students the ability to attend private schools. The Examiner wrote its own editorial about it last week. In the spirit of fairness, here is Holmes Norton's stance as elucidated in the Post. |
Kaine Unable
 For more on Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine's plan to raise taxes to pay for transportation fixes, read The Examiner's illuminating editorial. |
Stretching Your Budget
 Well, it's official: My expensive red sable brush is broken, finito, kaput. Dried ink is splitting the point and it has completely lost its springiness. I'm experiencing a type of sadness that one must feel after diligently caring for a houseplant only to watch it wither and die on the windowsill. Sigh. At least it gave me one last big fat guy before it kicked the bucket. On the subject of this cartoon, my editor said I could just as easily label the guy "Congress" or "Big Government." But I wanted to focus for a change on modern American society's obsession with "stuff." With inflation pushing the price of goods ever higher, people are struggling to maintain their standard of living and stick to a budget. Eve told me the other day about a guy she used to work with who had a TV in every room of his house and inside his car. Apparently, he said he needed all of them. I wonder how his credit score is doing nowadays. |
The Economic Pacifier
 I don't know if everyone will be able to read it, but the binky Uncle Sam is holding is labeled "stimulus." I probably should have "zoomed in" more on the image so that the label would be clearer.  For those regular readers who enjoy my wordier entries, I apologize for the past week-and-a-half's worth of blog postings. I have a few good excuses, though, for my lack of exposition. I was working from home all last week because I recently became a father! Maxwell (Max) Owen Beeler was born Friday, April 18, 2008, at 2:36 p.m. via c-section, weighing 8.5 lbs., measuring 20.5 inches long and in perfect health. Eve, the love of my life, and baby Max have been recuperating at home and are doing well -- though Eve is, of course, a bit sleep-deprived. That's the handsome little tyke in the picture on the right. I guess it's obvious by today's cartoon that he's already started influencing me in a big way! |
