Baby Steps

You will all be _amazed_ how fast that little monster will be stealing money from your wallet off the nightstand, getting drunk and joyriding with your car, and throwing wild parties with education reform and tort reform when your back is turned.

There’s a late-term abortion joke in here somewhere, but even I’m not that tasteless. Where’s Roat when you need him?

Then David you will be glad to know that the slogan for my next campaign will be: “Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!”

Shad, I thought that was the slogan for your last campaign.

Good point.

And as for your proposal mandating abortions for all (poor) non-white pregnant women: it will not only lower Health Care Costs but Public Education and Social Services costs as well (a quick D&C is pennies compared with a lifetime of taxpayer-funded doctors, teachers, welfare benefits, and prison). And, all this says nothing about the tremendous impact that fewer (poor) non-white children would have on the environment, as we all know that (poor) non-white people have a much higher carbon footprint, given their dietary choices (methane!), inability to afford hybrid automobiles, and whatnot.

Perhaps it would be more appropos to say “Miniature American flags for some, Abortions for others!” Or not. Maybe. I don’t know. What about the exclamation point? Seems a little in-your-face.

“Cartoon would have been more accurate if the baby were drawn with head trauma and a black eye. ”

Paul -V-
paragraph 6, section a641 of the Editorial Cartoonist Code of Behavior—
“at no time are you to be accurate, or even hint at the doctrine of accuracy, in either your published work or your spoken word. If you are desirous of “accurate”, get thee to the Weather Channel.”

That is a correct reading of paragraph 6, section a641, Barry. It goes on, in section a642, however, to state that editorial cartooning should be taken as “opinion”, (noun),– a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Hence, the editorial part.
Not unlike 99.5% of the written postings that you can find on any website, anywhere in cyberspace.
Nice eye, too.
