Post a Comment*Jim,
Great cartoon,best of luck in Chicago.
PLG
hey, imagine that....
another negative cartoon.
i can't wait for the day when you do something positive, if that ever happens.
I love the "Life has improved..." quotes.
Well, Mr. Borgman, again you have the FACTS all WRONG.
A REAL golfer would NEVER stand his golf bag on the GREEN!!! Come ON!!! He would leave it on the CART!
Why don't you do a little RESEARCH before SPEWING your SLANDEROUS NEGATIVITY onto the INTERWEBS?!?!?
Good one!
i know that jim in dc is being sarcastic, but what he is saying is the truth. borgman does no research in what he draws. all he does is take the public's perception of a particular topic and puts it into a little cartoon. he does no research on his own to find out whether the public's perception is accurate or not. and that is the truth about the time and thought borgman puts into his drawings.
ABSOLUTELY!
Mr. Borgman needs to start paying more attention to the POLLS and what the PUBLIC perceives is true!
Mr. Borgman, I call on you to IMMEDIATELY STOP using FACTS "reported" by the so-called MEDIA to generate your OPINION which you then DRAW. Start asking OTHER PEOPLE what your CARTOON should SAY.
WE DECIDE, YOU REPORT what we decide!
Only THEN will you find a LONG and SUCCESSFUL career in your "PROFESSION", and maybe if you're lucky someone will give you an AWARD! Like a PULITZER or something!!!
To Jim in DC and anonymous:
You DO realize you're bickering over A CARTOON don't you? He doesn't need to research where the golf bag goes in order to make a point about The Banks debacle.
The point he's trying to make is that no one wants to take the lead on this and actually DO something, so we'll probably just end up with yet another hum-drum park or golf course.
And why SHOULDN'T he be negative about The Banks? Have you seen anything encouraging about it since the whole thing started? So far its just a big money pit and they haven't even broken ground on it yet.
Maybe if people like Jim Borgman needle these petty politicians who behave like spoiled brats who want to shape the sandbox THEIR way might finally get the idea that the population they're supposed to be representing are getting fed up with all the petty bickering and wasting of public funds.
I'll tell you this, I know next to nothing about civil planning, but I sure as heck could get a lot more done than they have.
Sorry...I gotta dial it down. I had WAY too much irony in my coffee this morning.
Should probably cut back on the Colbert Report, too.
I'm confused by Jim in D.C.'s complaint about Borgman's golf cartoon. He writes: "Well, Mr. Borgman, again you have the FACTS all WRONG.
A REAL golfer would NEVER stand his golf bag on the GREEN!!! Come ON!!! He would leave it on the CART!
Why don't you do a little RESEARCH before SPEWING your SLANDEROUS NEGATIVITY onto the INTERWEBS?!"
Here's is my question. Who is being slandered by Borgman's golf cartoon ? I recently posted to the blog stating that old tiv's attack on Borgman's cartoon about casinos in Cincinnati was slanderous because old tiv made an accusation that Borgman goes into seclusion and hides after his cartoons are published in the Enquirer. Jim in D.C. then informs Borgman that "WE DECIDE, YOU REPORT what we decide" Hey, Jim in D.C., Borgman is a politcal commentator, not a reporter. In fact, Borgman was given the Pulitzer for his outstanding work as a political cartoonist.
tbenson
you're a flaming moron.
he's being sarcastic.
Anonymous from the 2:32 p.m. post says Borgman relies solely on public perception of a topic and that he does no research in order to verify the accuracy of the public's perception. This accusation has no merit. Borgman's cartoon appears on the Opinion page along with his signature. I would assume that his cartoon is based on his opinion, not on public perception. If you disagree with his opinion, write a letter to the editor.
You DO realize you're bickering over A CARTOON don't you?
---------------
*sigh* Tell that to countries that burn buildings down over them. Comics and cartoons are just as valid form of art, communication etc, that anything else is.
Borgman knows what the public thinks better than the remainder of the editorial staff on the Enquirer (his home paper) ever did. If he is ever not right on, and I base this on something like 35 years of fan-dom, it must have appeared on a day when I was out of town.
Jim,
So you believe it should be designed with "diversity" to accomodate the residents of OverTheRhine, where young black guys with guns and razors can hide, then shoot, rob, and kill?
All you critics are WRONG.
The governor is being slandered, because that tall guy is Bob Taft. His bag, man, is on the green 'cause one of his lobbyist toadies carted it there stuffed with fees paid-in-advance. But that scene isn't the Banks. It's Broadway Commons, which ABC (Argosy, Bob Castellini) and others have conspired to keep casinos out of Ohio.
Now I get it.
The Banks. Green. Greed.
Wow! What took me so long?
