If an artist is going to draw a political cartoon, it needs to have at least some relation to the real world. I mean, c'mon ... the actual governor of a state feeding in to the kind batguano crazy made-up shit presented in this cartoon??!!! I suppose he'd have us believe a US senator from the same state would do the same!

the local TV station where I lived would broadcast this crazy right-wing religious show from some "pastor" in Texas who believed the End Times were nigh and that the UN was already in the process of invading 'Murica.

Of course, Clinton was the Anti-Christ or one of the Anti-Christ's minions and Y2K was going to bring about a world dictatorship...or something.

After more than 60 years kicking around here, I'm still amazed at the dopes that will send their money to snake oil salesmen, false prophets, NIGERIAN scam artists, etc.

Not only that, but even after the "end times" didn't come, over and over, these dopes will keep scrounging to keep their paranoia stoked.

You know, bringing in the United Nations to take our guns away and put us in concentration camps. Why, President Obama, why?

Somebody has to build enough prisons for all of Texas, we will need prison wardens, somebody has to feed the prisoners, somebody has to hand over their confiscated guns to the Black Panthers, somebody has to gay-marry them to illegal immigrant Muslims, somebody has to indoctrinate the children in Islamo-Communism...

That's hundreds of thousands of jobs!
