Only Happens When Those With Start being Like The Rest Of Us Without

Then

Back in the early 1990's, when President Clinton tried to reform health care in the US, the middle class who were happy with their health care went spastic over the idea of a more national plan. Even the slightest whiff of Socialism has most Americans ripping their eyes out and gnashing their teeth! The old ad above got it almost right. Instead of a government plan being responsible for lack of care, it is private insurers that have raised costs and cut coverage.

Suddenly, these many years later, the middle class are finding themselves being screwed out of health care.  Some how, all those "falling through the cracks" have become a concern. I hope all of you morons from the 90's who opposed any reforms are enjoying the massive bills and lack of care you are receiving now.

Now

I knew this a long time ago--once those with started feeling the pain, the real action would be demanded. Don't expect that action to come from John McCain!

All I can say is, "Harry and Louise--go fuck yourselves!"

A Completely Made Up, Fantastical Biography of George David Darrow (1861-1925)

Born in the spring of 1861 in a modest East Anglian village on the wooded edges of Bury St. Edmunds, George David Darrow was the son of a gardener and a washerwoman. A solitary child, Darrow showed early signs of a vivid inner world, sketching woodland creatures and imagined spirits on sheets of whatever scrap paper he could find, much of which smelled of fish or meat that the paper had once wrapped.

Possessed of a quiet, observant nature and an innate gift for drawing, Darrow taught himself the principles of line and light by sketching the creatures and foliage around him. His Father, Henry Darrow, disapproved of his son’s obsession with woodlarking and hoped that his son would take up a respectable trade. As a young teenager, George was apprenticed to a local stone mason, but his tenure didn’t last the summer. George was found to be carving mysterious symbols into the lim...

Illustration Friday "Fat"

I did this one with colored pencil but wasn't real happy with it. I put a Photoshop filter on to liven it up some. I'll probably do it again so I can get it right.

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...
