Get Fuzzy and Politics #5 – The people’s debate…

Posted by MJ on October 23, 2008

I have not been blogging of late due to Presidential campaigning burnout but taking a little time to continue my series Get Fuzzy and Politics. Here is the latest political themed comics from Darby Conley’s Get Fuzzy that pits Rob “the liberal” Wilco against Bucky “the uninformed ignorant Republican” Katt in their own debate.

Just need to look at the comics page to see we are being robbed in the government’s 700 billion bailout…

Posted by MJ on September 25, 2008

President George Bush last night in a televised plea to the American people reinforced Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s stance that Congress needs to pass the 700 billion government bailout proposal right now. No need to worry about oversight, the CEO golden parachutes from the companies who receive the government money, or even the details of the plan itself. The word is give us the money first and worry about all that later (maybe). Yes, the situation is real but I keep hearing that if we don’t act right this second we will lose jobs, slip into a recession, and have general market chaos. Hello!? – This has been happening for a while now!

Funny, just last week I posted that John McCain is clueless about our wrecked economy and how the markets are taking a dump and actually had number of people commenting trying to tell me the economy is just fine and/or rebounding. Some people prefer to just keep their heads in the sand I guess…

The political cartoonists know we are in a mess and that the government will rob us to bailout the greedy bastards who caused this problem. I posted couple of the better comics on the subject so check them out and then vote in my government bailout poll in the upper left corner of this page.

If any readers know any other good political cartoons about the bailout please pass them along with a link.

First, Keith Tucker of What Now?!! Cartoons weights in with a comic and animated cartoon video…

Get Fuzzy and Politics #4 – Bucky learns Sarah Palin is picked as VP

Posted by MJ on September 16, 2008

It was only a matter of time before Darby Conley tackled Sarah Palin as the VP choice in his Get Fuzzy comic.  I have a history of posting the Get Fuzzy strips that step into the realm of politics.

Bucky B. Katt is shocked like the rest of the world that McCain picks the less experienced of the famous Palins for his running mate.

Not to worry, Buckey like any good Republician no matter how uninformed on the subject at hand will just follow the party line. Satchel changing up Michael Palin lines from Monty Python made me laugh out loud.

Get Fuzzy and Politics #3

Posted by MJ on September 8, 2008

Once again I am going to highlight Darby Conley’s Get Fuzzy comic, one of my favorite cartoons I read daily. I have posted other political themed strips in the past here and here.

I think of Barack Obama who has carried a big stick during this campaign to strike back at every turn the attacks by the McCain campaign and needs to continue to do so for the next two months. Obama gets my respect even in the unlikely event he loses this election for trying to be different and bring a real voice of change. Note, Obama is not really that much of a liberal let alone a socialist like most right wingers try to paint him as out of desperation.

John McCain has been trying to steal the idea of change from Obama now by claiming to be the reform candidate.  Seeing that McCain has been in Congress for 30 years and supports most of George Bush’s policies and is from the incumbent party this is hard to shallow. The people will feel like they have been punched in the eye if McCain is elected President for sure.
