<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, the Argus-Courier graciously consented to publish my weekly drawings. For those who lack the means to subscribe or the temerity to steal their neighbor&apos;s paper, this blog offers a way to appreciate the generosity of John Burns and Chris Samson in giving me a platform. DISCLAIMER: Please be warned that not every cartoon you see here was published or approved by John and Chris. Since this is a blog I get to post all of my half-baked, ill-conceived and/or biased musings - not just those ideas which survive the considered, objective and responsible editorial review process. In that sense, it&apos;s just like the Drudge Report or anything you hear from MoveOn.org.]]></description>

Turns out that Progressives in power behave no better than the evil Conservatives they replaced.

I believe that parents who host parties where alcohol is served  to their teenage children  and their children's friends are morons.

OMG - looks like I forgot to post a cartoon I did back in April celebrating our fair City's bizarre (Byzantine, Baroque, bonkers...) method of confronting (read: thwarting) proposals to build anything larger than a mailbox with the City limits
