it makes me sick how extremely biased you are, and how you make no effort to hide it.
anonymous 11:10AM, everyone has opinions, including you. Feel free to pick up pen and paper, crank out syndicated cartoon after cartoon for 25 years, win numerous awards including the Pulitzer. Go ahead. Please.
Anonymous 11:10. I agree with your assessment of Borgman.
Since this blogs debut he has had the same four people everyday gush over him and say how great he is.
I, on the other hand am sick and tired of his partisan hack trash.
He's a freaking Cindy Sheehan wanna be if I've ever seen one.
I'm sure he's heard worse from better.
It's one man's take on the world we live in. I enjoy seeing his creative process even if I don't always agree with the finished product. Political cartoonists don't (and shouldn't) care about pleasing one side or the other.
Anonymous 5:18PM, name some editorial cartoonists that totally satisfy your narrow mind.
sounds like anonymous 11:10 has thier cranky pants on...
just read it and have fun with it. geez.
Hey Chunknuts. I don't have a narrow mind and I don't have a "favorite" editorial cartooninst.
Why should I? The is no one serious in that field.
But I do know that Borg's a hack, and at the very best, you sir are a hack appeaser.
hey who....maybe you should learn how to use your eyes...
every other picture he sketches or comes up with has to do with slamming the President. if him being biased wasn't true, you'd think he'd say something. you'd think he'd defend himself. but he won't, because he is extremely biased.
Maybe he slams the President because our President is a walking punchline.
anonymous, I don't consider Borgman a hack at all. Far from it.
I'm glad this blog has provided an outlet for your comments. Jim has probably seen them and will no doubt gear his work in a direction you see fit. Make sure to go around and try to get others to 'defend' themselves for things that you don't agree with.
Granted, I tend to lean more right than left, even though I label myself moderate. That being said what harm is there in hearing the other side? Mr. 11:10 also has the right to be sickened by hearing that side as well. I don't always gush at his opinion, but I tend to consistently like his imagination and exicution, not his opinion. I also have to say this comment:
" I don't have a "favorite" editorial cartooninst.

Made me laugh out loud, let's get some SERIOUS CARTOONist out there, none of this funny stuff.
It's an EDITORIAL cartoon. It's on the EDITORIAL page in the newspaper. Look around. Everyone is biased on the editorial page...that's what it is there for. It's a forum for expressing one's opinion.
I still love ya Jim. Been reading for years and will continue even on the rare occasion we may not be on the same side of a subject. Your artistic style and sense of humor are something I have respected for years.
anonymous 11:10AM, Borgman is a political cartoonist--not a news program.
