Post a Comment*Ding! This one is a knockout!
A knockout?
Using steps like this is cliche.
It's been done times before, I could only find one instance online, but it's been done by others.

Agree it's been done before but probably never as appropriately. Great image! Or, how about a hamster running on it's cage wheel?
Bush has dodged the "stay the course" label but changing "strategies" twice (first "surge" and then "drawing down") will leave us at same level as 13 months previously (come 7/08). After how many more Lives & billions??
STAY THE COURSE, BABY!!!!
Anonymous (5:26): No kidding?
Iraq and Bush, the Escher of two evils.
Nice one.
it doesn't matter if it was already done by someone else. its a simple effective way to tell the truth about the endless mess the neocons have put america in.
just remember fight them over there so we don't have to fight them in aisle 3 at kmart
Very nicely done.
Mr. Zeus, how's that working for ya? The significance is that Bush is alone (it's how he entered the war)
the US is not a democracy, and we're not free
maybe Bush can try out his policies on Mars where he can't hurt anyone
it should say "No Way Forward"
We need some points of light besides the NFL and Dateline and NYC's pay-to-be-a-parent plan (why can't the us just have their jobs back?)
I thought this one was pretty good. Even if it's a cliche, Jim's treatment of it was striking enough that it didn't call to mind any previous instances for me.
The important thing is that there aren't dozens of cartoonists who've done roughly the same idea recently.
Borgman's image is a take on M. C. Escher's Ascending and Descending, 1960. It is a variation of a theme that fits perfectly in its application here.
Like all references it rewards the viewer who knows it.
You also copied some sculpture dude in that one cartoon with the sherriff in it about the Mapplethorp guy.
You shouldn't steal another artists stash, Jimmy.
Sure, this cartoon may have been done by others, but I recall nearly the same cartoon here that Jim did in 1980 using Iran instead of Iraq. Perfect then...perfect now.
We're back to the definition wars now; instead of trying to define "is" we're trying to define "indefinitely" Where's Webster?
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning Bush...
how can the definition of mercy ever be self-centered?
Jeremiah 7:3-9
at least it'll keep Bush busy; too bad it won't get him out of the way!
indefinitely would be a good word to describe this
how come Bush can't look anybody in the eye?
WASTE
Bush needs a new hobby
Blah blah blah blah blah
should be pointing down
alone again!

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. --Republican presidential candidates can't be any more clear: President Bush isn't welcome on the campaign trail.

They essentially ignore the lame-duck president, or give him only passing credit, as they rail against the status quo and promise to fix problems he hasn't solved.
"We all know Americans want change," said McCain, an Arizona senator, explaining the aversion to aligning with Bush. "I give him credit for a number of things but I think the fact is Americans are turning the page, including our Republican primary voters."
The candidates are walking a fine line. They are trying to tap into the deep discontent those voters feel about the state of the country without alienating any who hold Bush in high regard. At the same time, they have to counter the Democrats' powerful arguments for a new direction.
How candidates handle the 800-pound elephant in the room now could have implications beyond the primary. Privately, Republican strategists agree their nominee will lose next fall if the general election is a referendum on Bush. They say GOP candidates are wise to distance themselves from the president now, given his unpopularity among the public at large.
Bush holds the opposite view.
Asked last week whether he is an asset or a liability for Republican candidates, Bush replied: "Strong asset."
To be sure, none of the candidates want to be attached to Bush's legacy, afraid that doing so will make them sitting ducks for Democrats.
Who can blame them?
The unpopular Iraq war has bogged down his presidency. His party is in an uproar over out-of-control spending on his watch and embarrassing scandals among GOP officeholders. His job performance rating is at a low 33 percent, according to a recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll. Only 28 percent think the country is moving in the right direction. Half of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents think the country is on the wrong track.
Take Dan Wilson, 55, and Janet Frederick-Wilson, 47, of Westland, Mich. The Republicans voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, but they've lost confidence in him over the past few years for what Frederick-Wilson said were a million different reasons. "Overall, he's lost touch," she said.
"He's kind of lost his way, unfortunately," Wilson said. "He started strong and then his office affected him."
well, mr zeus had made his prediction about the elections; no surprises here; we're all pawns in his chess game, only we're on the losing side!
$190 billion forward - can't wait!
