Post a Comment*I say let this fool put out any an every cartoon he wants, and let anyone else put out whatever cartoons they want.
Riots, or whatever happens will happen, but we will know exactly where these idiots and their parent companies stand.
We've been privvy to alot of that and it's not pretty for newspapers.
Let them keep it up and laugh themselves out of existence.
Newspapers are fighting more and more everyday for relevancy, so why shouldn't they keep on going down the same road?
I don't have a dog in this fight, so it doesn't matter one bit for me.
Watch the Cincy Post close its doors next year though...and more and more papers follow suit...it's about time.
For someone with no dog in this fight, you sure do a lot of color commentary Anonymous.
And thanks for your personal interest in my motives, but I'm not a kiss-ass. I'm a fan of Jim's because he's a skilled cartoonist with a talent for tweaking people. There's a difference.
Though I think Jim and his fellow cartoonists should take irony to a whole new level and send tins of Danish cookies to the Palestinian Authority and a bunch of the other groups getting their panties in a twist over a couple cartoons.
You're not a butt-kisser? :)
Whatever, dude...but for the record, I wasn't the only anonymous to come to that conclusion.
I laughed until I cried when I saw others putting thier in! :)
If the lips fit....
"Newspapers are fighting more and more everyday for relevancy..."
Hey Einstone, if every enterprise(and person for that matter) isn't striving for relevancy, then they are quickly becoming non-viable.
Witness the american automotive industry...
As a political cartoonist, I'm sure you have a very unique perspective on the rioting, boycotting and protesting that's going on in Denmark and the Middle East right now. What are your thoughts about these cartoons? Would you have drawn them? Would you have published them? Do you think these newspapers are practicing free speech or being insensitive and distasteful?
ok anon 8:50, your observation is duly noted. I should have stated that they are fighting to keep the relevancy that they used to have, and failing miserably.
But then, you already knew that I'm sure.
Or maybe I shouldn't assume that you know something....or anything.
Jim,
I would have Pres. Bush with about a dozen hands out to a bunch of different special interests groups and a caption reading, "Just 2 words...switch grass"
Maybe if Sesame Street introduced a muppet that ate switch grass and generated electricity, he wouldn't want to cut PBS by $53M....
I think it's interesting that Bush has choosen a time of political crisis to shift his views on energy. During a time when I'd imagine he needs to justify our involvement with the Middle East the most, he states that we need to wean our addiction from that very area. I think this is a good step for him although I'm a little concerned that he didn't outline any actual initiatives he plans to impliment. He doesn't like imposing new taxes on consumers and stimulating commercial entities to produce alternative fuel engines with governmental funding or tax incentives has been shown to be at the very least, a luke-warm remedy. I don't think I feel like he's earned the title of embassador to the alternative fuel world yet. The part that this cartoon leaves out is that the other two presidents not only talked about their commitment towards change, but actually stretched themselves and their policies to bridge the gap. Bush has a long way to go before we can credit him for that.
Jim,
I hope you continue to post sketches and your thoughts behind the final art. Just because there hasn't been many replies doesn't mean that nobody is out there. Most of us just appreciate what you are doing and admire from afar.
What needs to be addressed is the fact that Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton did NOTHING, absolutely nothing, to stave off the energy problem.
What Bush is trying to do is noble, but we are 15 years out from a viable "green" mass transportation option.
Shame on the liberal Bill Clinton for not using his 8 years to make the needed advances to solve the problem that EVERYONE knew was coming.
Islam seems to be a religion for the insecure and the easily confounded male. Riots, guns and burning things down cannot be a part of anyone's religion. Life isn't fair, neither are cartoons. Reality check for Muslims in aisle three please.
Bush didn't outline his plan for alternatives because it's to support an expanded nuclear (nuculer as he likes to say) program. He's not going to fund more mass transit or give tax credits for hybrids. He's going to make new nuclear weapons.
Shame on Raygun, Daddy Bush and (the Not Liberal) Clinton, for not moving towards safe alternative energy.
It just goes to show both corporate parties serve the same interests.
Can't let you get away with saying Clintoon wasn't liberal, but you are half right.
The toon wasn't a liberal, he IS a stone cold socialist. But the Republican led congress, led by Newt Gingrich at the time, would not allow him to reach the level of shame he wanted to reach.
Instead they hung him with Welfare reform, and killed the Beast's socialist health care system before it could get out of the box.
