Post a Comment*thats great....another piece that puts cincinnati in a good light.
hey, how about you change gears for once and do something positive about anything instead spewing out more negative artwork.
It is telling that this cartoon would not include Steve Chabot. While southwest Ohio may see benefits from having Boehner and Portman in leadership positions, the First Congressional District has nothing to show for all the years Steve Chabot's been in office. Steve has gone back on his claims to be a fiscal conservative and has instead become a rubber stamp for President Bush's huge deficit hikes. Yet for all that over-spending, he continues to ignore his own district and refuses to seek funds for Cincinnati. It’s time for Steve Chabot to honor his term-limits pledge and retire from Congress.
Who's the little John Q. Public in the lower right hand corner?
Certainly no one I know.
In my brief monthly encounters with reality, up at the Valleydale Barber Shop, patrons there would take up a collection to make snooty suits like Boehner and Portman go away and stay away.
We are doing okay on our own, but would be doing better minus the gargantuan, mandatory contribution to the likes of smarmy DC types.
Based on my experience, it works the other way around: the politicins want money from the citizens of the city. President Bush's visit to a Republican fundraiser about a month ago serves as case-in-point. It took an extra 45 minutes for me, Joe Schmoe Taxpayer, to get home from work because I-71 was temporarily closed for the presidentail motorcade. All so the rich (or at least a politician in Indian Hill) could get more money, while I was out $5 worth of gas or so from being stuck in traffic.
That being said, I love your cartoons, whether I agree or not.
