Dick's Legacy... part two


So here they go again... and what on earth do they actually want? Just nagging and nagging at the homeland security as if it is any different than before or is going to accomplish anything at all. Funny, it so happens that Ken Star (remember him?) was one of the "Al-Qaeda seven" as per their TV ad... and of course he had to say something. Insanity would be a good way to think about of these things if it wasn't for the malice and the sheer stupidity involved. Just give me a baseball bat and let's pretend that this is a movie and we're watching Inglorious Bastards.

AMERICA'S MOST WANTED: John "The Prick" Boehner


Who elects these people anyway? If the likes of John Boehner and Michelle Bachman (just to mention a couple of shameless nut cases) actually get elected by vote and by the people... one is left to wonder what do the people they represent and vote for them look like. In other words, if this are the sane and "responsible" ones, what are the ones that elect them like? I can see Michelle been elected by the patients at the asylum she comes from. What state is she from again? Kind of scary if you think about it... planning a vacation in country anytime soon?

While I was making this caricature of John Boehner I kept feeling that it looked like someone very familiar and peculiar. It just hit me when I saw it posted... remember Fantasy Island? Does he look like Tattoo or what? Or is it more like Billy Bob Thornton, What do you think?

AMERICA’S MOST WANTED: Michelle “Crazy” Bachman


We started the “America’s Most Wanted” series with Joe “The Snake” Lieberman thinking that hands down he will be the ultimate most wanted champion. Come to think of it, it may not so easy... Here comes Michelle "Crazy" Bachman to give Joe a run for his money. I'm kind of thinking of framing the most obvious "Most Wanted" characters out of the way first and than move towards more subtle choices. Something is bound to jump here and there along the way but for now she's most definitely in the hall of fame and well deserving of a spot right on the top of America's Most Wanted list. What do you think?

AMERICA’S MOST WANTED: Joe “The Snake” Lieberman

Perhaps no one is more fitting to start the “America’s Most Wanted” series than Joe “The Snake” Lieberman. This guy almost single-handedly added the straw (or should I say the whole haystack) that broke the camel’s back. It was interesting to see his expressions at the state of the union address when the cameras surreptitiously centered on him while the subject of serving “special interest” was being addressed in the speech. He’s now officially the poster-child for the subject of government corruption. Way to go Joe.

I’m still debating what the reward amount should be. Any ideas? Be mindful that in the Michelle “the alarmist” Bachman poster the reward is $ 0.25.

"Frankly" Speaking...


Oh, no the sky is falling!! Do they mean that the sky is falling again? “Democrats” are now running around all panicky and feeling destitute about losing the 60-vote filibuster proof majority… yeah, like they had it just before and look what happened. I mean seriously, what’s the difference? In my mind the “wake up call” had already come when we all came to realize that “special interest” and “money” rule above all. We saw the very democratic majority we thought we had elected (the mandate) to effectuate “change we can believe in” being the ones who most effectively blocked and derailed healthcare reform. It seems like unless you take “cold cash” (like the kind you hide in the freezer) as a bribe you can get away with it like in the case of Joe “the snake” Lieberman (to mention just one snake). I’m in no particular mood to sound “activist-like”; I don’t like it but these are such basic things and they are actually as bad as they sound. It’s like a comic book out there, and once again, reality is crazier than fiction.

“Frankly” speaking, what the voters in Massachusetts actually said is “We already have insurance so screw you”. I mean really, as much as they like to complain about it, they are all covered and of course they where not voting to take out “their own” health insurance but just for the rest not to have it. And it makes sense on the basics of course, why pay “additional taxes” to cover everyone else when you’re already covered? I mean really, and that’s the bigger irony aside from the other irony that it was Ted Kennedy’s very own seat. What are the odds that all of that would come together, right at this junction of the debate? And no “God” has nothing to do with it; and no, there’s no message to Washington; and no, the “republicans” have not been proved right in any front. And let’s not be masochistic either. If the democrats, obstructions or not (and this is not child’s play), have shown that they cannot govern effectively… that should not mean that we should now re-elect the assholes that fucked it –and continue to fuck it all up in the first place.

So now what? Well for starters if the only shameless philosophy in Washington is going to be about winning or losing rather that the common good (or the serving the people thingy) then the “democrats” are going to have to play hardball (and it’s about time). One thing that the republicans got right (if that’s the game that in the end we all have to play) is that they have no conscience. The guidelines for being a prick are easy to follow and apparently they work. Shame on us of course but when it comes to doing the work of the people why not be an asshole? I mean really what’s there to lose? And what’s the point of running around all “sensitive” and afraid of everything? If you are going to lose either way, why not at least get something good done; something that generations afterward would appreciate. The means to an end thing. And why not play by their rules, the cause is good and they are not playing by ours anyway. I can live with being an asshole for a good cause, Can you?

Frankly Speaking... KRAASHH!!


In practical terms the bill now being considered may be too big and twisted (after all the bizarre deal making who really knows what’s there and how it would affect us) that we may be better off passing bits and pieces of it (up and down votes). At a minimum they should pass a basic “patient bill of rights” and get rid of the preexisting condition and dumping customers when they get sick. These are not –or shouldn’t be- legislative issues (like what’s there to negotiate and/or with whom?) but of basic principals of law and fairness. These are basic rules and laws most people would agree on. We can all be cowboys all we want, but even in the Wild West there was “the law” to protect the “law abiding majority” against those who, rather than making it on their own prayed on the others. And back then they used to “hang” horse thieves.

We’ll see what happens in the end (and there are many people of conscience on capital hill). But if we all finally came to the conclusion that Washington is “completely” screwed up, corrupted and useless, then we’ll perhaps see something else emerging. Grass-root technology-enabled initiatives to get around “government” and take advantage of the immense business opportunities that will emerge within the default of government. We’re in many ways on our way there already (we’ll see what happens with Google vs China in the long run). All that is needed is this kind of “additional motivation”. The opportunities may be enormous; we’re resilient and innovative. After all, this is America and there’s plenty of socially conscientious entrepreneurial-spirit to go around.

Young minds and the technology they dominate had made a difference in the past election… but stopped short by thinking that someone as smart and noble as Obama may make the difference. So maybe it is not possible to change Washington, but maybe we don’t need to. Maybe it's time for a real change, a change we can believe in and actually do something about it.

Dumb but not Stupid.




I had this cartoon finished way back when we were going rogue with Sarah right after her book came out. It was meant to go after the “cavewoman” Geico-like commercial. I figured back then that she will end up with a “Jerry Springer” -like show of her own. Well same thing, she ended up at Fox… the prediction still works. Anyway, this is what I wrote…

I guess that in the end Sarah wins… and she’s laughing all the way to the bank. She, like any other red-blooded American is just cashing in on the “lottery ticket” she won after being picked up as the VP for the GOP “ticket”. It’s always about the money (just follow the money trail). She may be ignorant, but she's not stupid (she's taking a ride on "everybody" including the teabaggers). Let me guess the conversation around the kitchen table back in Alaska. Let’s see, shall I serve the people, actually work for a living, do all the homework and study to catch up with everything I have never paid attention to… and then get scrutinized by peons, accused of ethical violations, misconduct and not be able to cash in for fear of scrutiny or maybe even facing some kind of legal prosecution? Hmmm, Or simply quit, make millions, become a stupid celebrity and not work for another day in your life? Tough decision, ha? Anyway, she’s just doing what any “hockey mom” would do… and after all, this is America, right? Nothing wrong with making money.

No worries, though. She will never get elected to a public office of any kind and she knows that… and of course she does not want to either (and we all know that). She will never survive it; she’s not capable. After all, she was responsible for the loss of the election for McCain… or would have IF he actually had a chance. The loser and the big time idiot here is McCain. The old man simply had a “senior moment” and single-handedly shot himself and his own “Country First” motto right in the foot. Was America ready for an African American president or did McCain’s screw-ups just tip it over? Probably not, but one wonders what would have happened if McCain would have provided some people a better excuse by choosing better (just anyone else). Anyway, we’ll never know of course… but in any case we should be grateful to her because she made it impossible for it to go any other way… thanks Sarah.

As per Sarah, more power to her… she’ll cash in for a few more years, get caught in some scandal and end up pissing off the base or just fade away as she should... and then some other political bimbo will take over her “crown” (Miss California?) and that will be that…

Dick's Legacy



Okay, okay!! We get it!! Scorched earth politics, just do anything and everything to defeat your enemy and make them fail at any cost. Nothing is sacred, not even your nation’s security, all that matters is to defeat your enemy and win power; which begs the question (time and again) and then what?

In the end of the day Dick Cheney is nothing more than an irrelevant out of power megalomaniac (egomaniac) with a book coming out. And as far as his legacy is concerned it’s a done deal, history is pretty astute, and he cannot change –no matter what- that 911 happen on his watch and that there were no WMD found in Iraq (among other things).

It is time perhaps for us -and the liberal media that feed into it- to IGNORE Dick and the rest of the scorched earth lunatics and move on to a more responsible and relevant discussion. Don’t fall for the tactics of distraction which more often than not come from the most likely places (have you noticed the price of gas lately?) and spend your energy on something that matters and makes a real difference (but don’t be apathetic in the next round of elections and act on your rightful indignation in the election booth). And just leave the lunatics for the comedians where they belong.
