Does President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage extend to the courage to defend gay Afghans and Pakistanis targeted by his illegal assassinations by drone? […]
(Sorry, the first version published defectively. I have no idea what happened. If I had been drinking when I hit “Publish” I’d just admit it. But the strongest thing I had that day was coffee. I removed some paragraphs that more or less repeated what I’d already written for this post. When I added material, […]
Today at 10:45 am Occupy the East End illegally foreclosed on the Bank of America branch in East Hampton NY. 1%ers are already flocking to the Hamptons, so we thought they needed a political wake up call. Politics don’t end just because you’re on vacation. Here is the text of our statement, which we mic-checked […]
Hi! Unfortunately, the campaign failed to make its goal. Still, thanks to the more than 100 people who supported it with significant pledges. I am honored by your faith in me. Obviously I will not be doing ths book. (Unless someone steps forward with a big check.) What next? There are several possibilities. No major […]
For years Obama was too cowardly to support the right of gays and lesbians to marry. Now that that right is popular with voters, however, he has changed his mind. And now he’s bragging about his courage. […]
Despite a lot of support—130 people promised $9435—my Kickstarter project is obviously going to be a bust. There are 50 hours to go, and the rate of pledges has simply seized up. So what went wrong? It’s anybody’s guess. Among some of the conjectures I’ve heard are: The economy is shitty. Kickstarter is oversaturated. Without […]
I draw cartoons for The Los Angeles Times about issues related to California and the Southland (metro Los Angeles). This week: Gov. Jerry Brown’s proposal for closing California’s $16-billion funding gap includes 4-day state workweeks and Medi-Cal cuts. He warns that cuts will be even more severe if voters reject tax hikes on the November […]
Despite the fact that nothing has been done to create new jobs, the U.S. hasn’t created any net new jobs above population growth. Meanwhile, 20 million people remain jobless. Which makes one ask: why doesn’t the Obama Administration think this is a problem? […]
My Kickstarter book project is going down in flames. With four days left, it is less than one-quarter funded. Please help spread the word! It probably didn’t help that Kickstarter never ran the project on its front page. […]
Sluts of America, Arise! “A sitting United States president took sides in what many people consider the last civil rights movement,” Adam Nagourney of The New York Times wrote in reaction to Barack Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage. The last civil rights movement? No. Sadly, even as he belatedly championed equality for some, the president’s […]
