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.

During a rainstorm in Washington last year the lawn sprinklers in front of the White House went on and began operating full force throughout the downpour. A visiting tourist turned to her companion and asked why in the world the sprinklers were being used. "It's an old rule in Washington," her companion told her." "Whatever nature does, Washington thinks it can do it better."

Terrific cartoon John! Body language is dead on. Great perspective. "And ain't it the truth?"
Totally agree, Jean. This is a indeed a terrific cartoon.
Thanks, Jean and Lee1
And to all others, I'm experiencing major computer difficulties (I'm posting this from elsewhere), and haven't been able to post a cartoon today. Hopefully this won't last too long.
Hi John
Glad to hear it was the computer that died, not you!
We keep hitting your link for some humorous perspective on another bleak news day.
Good luck reviving your confuser,
Rico
I have given up watching the news. It's too depressing. I reckon I'll start tuning in again around 2011. My theory is we get what we focus on.
Good luck with the 'puter John. When they are good they are very very good... when they are bad they are horrid #$@#@$%
