Editorial Cartoon of the Day

We will dedicate this piece to our friend, Ed Pozzuli.

A nominated finalist for the Pulitzer 6 times since 1999, Chattanooga Times Free Press cartoonist Clay Bennett won the Prize in 2002. He has also earned just about every other editorial cartoon award there is, including the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the John Fischetti Editorial Cartoon Competition, the Overseas Press Club's Thomas Nast Award, the National Headliner Award, the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi Award, the National Journalism Award from the Scripps Howard Foundation, and the National Cartoonists Society Division Award for Best Editorial Cartoons. Bennett was also named Editorial Cartoonist of the Year by Editor & Publisher magazine in 2001.

GOP's 'Primitive Stimulative' Plan

Well, it does not appear that President Obama is enjoying a lot of support from Republicans. And one of our favorite websites, The Satirical Political Report, took some pot shots at the Grand Old Party this week.

Here they list the GOP's ten best programs to boost the economy. OK, so maybe it's not a legal issue. Still funny.

1. Re-sod Guantanamo.
2. Free sterilization of minorities.
3. All state aid in the form of loans — to be paid back to the “Republican National Committee.”
4. “Jet Stamps” — for corporate CEOs.
5. Expand Electric Grid, to facilitate comeback of the electric chair.
6. Mass transit funds — to deport “illegals.”
7. Tax credits for purchases of semi-automatic weapons.
8. Coupons for conversion of analog TV — to Rush Limbaugh radio.
9. Infrastructure spending — erect ten-story ‘Ten Commandments’ in every state capital.
10. Supplemental infrastructure spending — erect world’s largest solar panel directly over Nancy Pelosi’s office.
