This will be a first in a series of drawing tutorials for the aspiring cartoonist. I hope you enjoy learning how to draw and please send me links or e-mail me your drawing of Mr. Boehner! E-mail your pics to pgcartoons(at)gmail(dot)com

She’s the gift that keeps on giving. Please oh please oh please run for President.

NY TIMES LINK I like to consider myself a moderate and prefer voting for the best candidates regardless of their party origins. But I can’t see too many Republicans that are willing to push aside this simplistic view and try to make this government work. But when you are dealing with ignorant voters, you have [...]

She’s not a witch She’s you. God bless you Tea Party. (NOTE: If Christine O’Donnell wins, I reserve the right to post often about her.)

I guarantee you’ll laugh your ass off if you watch Councilman Phil Davison of Minerva, Ohio give what has to be considered the worst/best stump speech in the history of stump speeches. He will not apologize for his tone tonight! Did you hear him?!? He will not do it!!! And did you catch the part [...]

The Vermilion 380 blew up today, but it looks like we may have dodged an oily bullet. Still, could it have been prevented? Well, as the title suggest, it’s very likely. Because fines are usually in the thousands to tens of thousands. So, to be fined the better part of a million dollars is patently [...]

The Arizona Governor is taking some heat for her strange performance in last night’s debate against the state’s Attorney General Terry Goddard. First, there’s this painful opening… Errrr…. Listen, being on air is tough and nerves can get to you, but did she really not prepare? Did she not have notes? Then, yeah, she’s called [...]

So, I’ve definitely been guilt of pushing the anti-incumbent meme, but it’s appearing as if the exact opposite is true. By a margin of 317-7 (4 of which were Repubs, 1 of whom was Arlen Specter), incumbents have been winning primary fights left and right. And the AFP is noticing… PHOENIX, Arizona — Despite surging [...]

This is funny for so many reasons… First, if you’re Carl Cameron you have to feel kind of embarrassed at this transparent admission that Fox News should just play ball and walk through Angle’s talking points. Second, if you’re Fox News, well, can you hear that echo? Third, if you’re a member of the Tea [...]

The future of all mainstream media news is Taiwanese animation. This piece from NMA News in Taiwan explains our 2012 Presidential election prelims to a Chinese audience.

Most investors believe that the stock market will benefit from Republicans taking control of either the House or Senate in the fall. With that expectation, a rising market could very well be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the GOP begins to look like it has a realistic chance of taking control of one house, the opportunities may come along sooner rather than later.

Say what you will about MSNBC, but the following by Chris Matthews and the Hardball crew is a good look at how this new movement has sprung up and why it seems to continue to grow. Of note, watch Part Six about how the “death panel” meme started with Sarah Palin and kept on rolling [...]

First it was the wishy-washiness of the civil rights act repeal and now it’s criticism of the administration being tough on BP? Watch the video… Here’s the thing…yes, accidents happen on offshore oil rigs. However, most damage is mitigated by appropriate safety measures being put in place to keep spills to a minimum. However, recent [...]

Ironically, the star of Waterworld (which I like…by the way) might be just the guy to help save the water in the Gulf of Mexico. Check out the nifty gadget he and his brother has been funding the development of (to the tune of $15M) for the past 15 years. Apparently, it can remove between [...]

A couple of fun videos outlining what happened in Southern Europe. Part One Part Two I’ll share Part Three when it’s available…but we all know that the EU opened up the cash drawer and created a TARP fund of their very own to make sure that these countries remain solvent…at least for now. More as [...]

The following video is heartbreaking, especially since it happened in my state. Still, this is happening every day in every other state over completely victimless crimes. Here’s a quick explanation if you can’t watch the video (via Radley Balko)… SWAT team breaks into home, fires seven rounds at family’s pit bull and corgi (?!) as [...]

From the looks of the video, this guy could have been caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. Still, investigators can’t ignore any leads right now. More as it develops…

Heard about this? Well, you will. Basically, open primaries are where the top two vote getters move on to the general, with the hopeful net result being that Dems and Repubs wouldn’t have to appeal to the more extreme elements of their party to get to the big show. Here’s more… So, no more party [...]

The titular joke comes in the first couple minutes…so you don’t have to watch the whole thing, but I’d suggest you do because it’s pretty damn funny. He also makes fun of Biden’s BFD comment, Eric Massa, the Jonas Brothers, Scott Brown, Michael Steele, Charlie Crist, John McCain, the new Arizona immigration law, his Nobel [...]

I’ve consistently contended (in my personal social channels) that Lady Gaga is the new Madonna. And now some American soldiers in Afghanistan reinforce that Gaga’s pop culture weirdness extends beyond our borders. Watch and enjoy… And to all of those who think that they’re wasting our tax dollars…I’d rather them blowing up their imaginary phones [...]
