Cartoons, cartoons, cartoons.... John Crowther's Cartoon Odyssey

I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies. All cartoons are available as prints or originals, framed or unframed, through my website or e-mail.

Politics Makes You Know What

The most troublesome aspect of the unbelievably noisy and endless presidential campaign now going on is that it's noisy and endless. I suspect that part of the blame can be laid at Karl Rove's feet. It was he who created the divide and conquer strategy that now grips our political process. Whereas we once depended on our leaders to bring us together, Rove postulated divisiveness as a way to cement a Republican hold on power for decades to come. It didn't work. The result was that Democrats and Repubicans alike retreated into campaign mode where nothing has to get done. The lame duck president is reduced to background chatter, while politicians on both sides can debate their respective positions forever, and nobody is required to take an action based on a principle.

I don't think there is a dime's worth of difference between either party. They all huff and puff and frankly, I am tired of all of them. Have no idea what to do but do know that no matter which party gets into power, we, as a nation, are in big trouble.

Good cartoon today, John C.
