Every now and again the Internet rewards us with a short video that is so jaw-dropping that you find yourself replaying it three times in close succession because you can’t really believe what you think you just saw or heard.
This is one of those times. Continue reading
The Mayor of Toronto is a massive embarrassment to my city. Yesterday, one of the Toronto Star’s city hall politics reporters filed a story that Rob Ford wants to buy a slice of the park adjacent to his house so that he can build a bigger security fence. The reporter behind the story, Daniel Dale (and this is according to his own account, which differs from the mayor’s), went out to the park of which Ford wants to buy a piece and was taking pictures of the park and, it would seem likely, Ford’s fence, for the story.

My mom was a tough lady. Born to genocide survivors from Turkey in pre-war Palestine and raised in the post-war West Bank she grew up with loss always on the brink, and a sense garnered out of necessity that one can make lemonade out of even the tartest, dirtiest lemons. She was also very, very ill from a young age, one of the first in her generation to be formally diagnosed with SLE (as opposed to “rheumatism”), but regardless of her life’s seemingly endless challenges, she went to school in the states, graduated Magna cum Laude, and was a highly respected linguist and speech pathologist. Along the way she married my dad- a schlubby, sweet Mormon guy (I know), and had me. So it goes.
She was also a bitch of the first order. A woman who inspired fear and respect. She ruled the household with an iron fist clad in a velvet Chanel glove, and made it a point of pride to stand any man down who got in the way of her or her husband’s success. Continue reading
I see President Obama going on Fallon and I think about Mitt Romney trying to slow jam the news, and I am reminded that at some point, personal charisma (or complete lack thereof) is going to be an issue in this campaign.
Puff puff pass. Continue reading
Seeing as how the GOP nominating season is effectively over now that Rick Santorum is done talking about coal miner’s ovaries or whatever, the Romney campaign can now focus on important things. Important things like sending a bus to follow the President around at his appearances, or trying to make a thing of the fact that the President ate dog meat as a child.
Really, the campaign should focus on a much more important next step: picking a campaign theme song. A campaign theme song can tell voters so much about who you are as a candidate. Are you hip, down to earth, yet totally inspirational and leadershipfull? (Yes, I made that last one up) Continue reading

What a week of some cartoon-worthy political events. War on Women. Failed Missile Launches. Return of the Buffet Rule. Santorum bowing out. GSA party scandal. Zimmerman arrested. Crazy stuff makes for some good cartoons. I invite you to post cartoons you find worthy as well.
As a reminder before you start Thunderdoming — I will certainly be posting cartoons that I do not agree with the opinions of the artist. So please do not make the assumption that by posting a cartoon here that I agree with it. I simply found it interesting, enraging, thought-provoking or amusing.
With that caveat, let us begin.
