Last Weekly Cartoon For 2005

-
The People's Weekly World goes on hiatus until the new year. My Christmas wish this year is that all the hypocrites who are bellowing about what the holiday season is called actually go out and do something Christian. As far back as I can remember, the phrase "Happy Holidays" has been used. I guess it is a difficult concept to accept that there are other observances happening through out the month. I hate to break it to the "Christian Right" but the US is a secularist country. We have room for all religions to be accepted and practiced. What the C-R's really want is their version of Christianity forced on the rest of us. They like to babble about various "agendas" promoted by groups they oppose. They should be up front and admit their agenda is to remake the US in their prescribed image. That isn't a place I want to live.

I remember the day as hot and sunny. While records show the temperature during the day was around 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the skies cloudy, my memory could be faulty but I remember the sun beating down on me from blue skies while I gril...

A Mention In The Independent

-
Too bad I stumbled upon an email from The Independent's Tehran correspondent, Angus McDowall too late. The email ended up in my Yahoo email which I only use as a spam trap. An article was published today about the Iranian public's ho-hum reaction to the "Holocaust" cartoon exhibition. I was pleased to see that I was treated fairly. "The cartoons included US, European, Brazilian, Korean and Chinese entries. However, the US cartoonist David Baldinger said that his drawing "in no way ridiculed the Holocaust". It is best to let people determine what is propaganda and what is not. Most of the time intelligent people know the difference. Sane people, I would think, don't place value on government statements refuting the Jewish Holocaust's historical fact. I doubt Iranian president Ahmadinejad even believes his statements. He is engaging in what I would call "political mooning". A bare ass sticking in the world's face gets a lot of atten...
