And now on with the cartoons…

And from The Onion, we have George W. Bush coming up with his own corrupt version of a beloved White House Thanksgiving tradition, when he pardons Scooter Libby, with Dick Cheney's former main man dressed in a giant turkey costume.

Thanks to all who have come to visit from other sites -- I'm glad you're here. But please know that this blog is about far more than the Saturday cartoons. They're merely a diversion and provide a humorous take on what's really on our minds. I primarily cover the U.S. Senate but also write about presidential politics and White House activities as well. So please take a look around beyond the 'toons -- and come back soon.
