Fashionable Political Footwear
 The party that used the issue so well against John Kerry in 2004 now has to deal with it's own nominee's flip-flopping. |

ANWR
 Time and time again, I've gone over this issue in my own mind, with my editor and with others whose opinions I value, and I still think its irresponsible for government to encourage more domestic drilling without first setting in place a long-term, comprehensive energy policy. Opening up ANWR and allowing off-shore drilling are only stopgap measures that delay making the hard decisions that will truly make us energy independent. All the Republicans -- and the Democrats, frankly -- are offering are weak substitutes for sound policy on an issue of national and economic security. |

Bush's Tell-All Tell-Off
 I did a few doodles with this idea yesterday in my sketchbook and finalized the design today. This caricature of Bush cracks me up, for some reason. I initially struggled with how to approach the story about Scott McClellan's tell-all book, because I can understand why the administration and its staunch supporters are in an uproar and "puzzled." McClellan certainly wrote the book partly for the money, but I bet he wouldn't stake his reputation and friendships with powerful people if he didn't believe his own words. To me, his book seems to be another corroborating piece of evidence against the attitude and politics of the Bush White House. Of course, tell-all books never actually tell it all. In the end, that's history's job -- and President Bush might not be too happy with it. |
Indiana McCain
 I haven't seen the new "Indiana Jones" sequel yet, though I'm really looking forward to catching it in the theaters. I heard they miked Harrison Ford's knees to get that authentic creaking sound whenever he breaks out into a brisk hobble! It seemed like a while since I last drew John McCain, and it felt good to work on his caricature some more. |

 Today's cartoon gave me the chance to give my caricature muscles a good work out. Call it cartoon calisthenics. I haven't drawn John McCain all that much, even though his turkey neck is manna from heaven to cartoonists. On the gas tax issue, I was working the math out in my head ... the federal gas tax is 18.4 cents ... if the tax is suspended and I fill up my car with 10 gallons of gas, I will have saved $1.84. What a deal, huh? |
