Not entirely sure why, but I found this one HILARIOUS.

A personal favorite from the past presidential debate:

"Frank Deford and Jim Rome both lean hard left on almost all social issues, but they openly loathe the proliferation of soccer. And that position is important: For all practical purposes, soccer is the sports equivalent of abortion; in America, hating (or embracing) soccer is the core litmus test for where you exist on the jocko-political continuum."

That must be the least effective Right-Wing political cartoon I've ever seen.

First of all, I think even most Republicans would be happier with Clinton 3.0 than with Bush 3.0 right about now. Second, most Americans view Clinton favorably, anyway, so the cartoon would be ineffective against anyone but a dimbulb dittohead who's been programmed to foam at the mouth when he hears the word "Clinton".

Lastly, as a lower-middle class white male, I am probably in the target demographic for this cartoon's message, and I would love for the government to take care of me. Between the job market, my rising healthcare needs--which I can't even afford to take care of anymore--and the complex and predatory engines of finance that have shaped much of my destiny, I would really love a government that would take care of my interests instead of leaving me out in the cold with the wolves and calling it "rugged individualism". I pay my taxes. Now I'd like to see the government give something back.

Oh, and the whole "Rar! Government doing anything is bad!" subtext that is suppose to work on my fears of Socialism just doesn't work anymore. I'm too busy trying to stay out of poverty.

I worry this may be a tad out of date, but I found it morbidly funny, and a sad reflection of reality:

Decided I'd look at today's cartoon from the Halifax Herald.

A simple but cute cartoon first posted (so far as I can find) here, hosted at Daily Kos:
