Quiet the Hate: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Yelling Into an Empty Head!
Every so often I have to draw a cartoon with Uncle Sam yelling into the empty head of a politician who just doesn’t get what the public clearly wants. Here’s my most recent cartoon, in advance of President Obama’s speech to drum up support for a strike against Syria, that the public strongly opposes.
Obama doesn’t seem to hear the public on the NSA. I thought about drawing Obama with little ears going forward in all of my cartoons, but I decided that would just be spitting into the cartoonists wind.
Mitt Romney was also deaf to public opinion …
As was George W. Bush …

Syria and Twerking!
Here are my new cartoons for the week! Even as Americans rage against their government and everyday injustices here at home, I think we have it pretty good. There are few places in the world where I could annoy politicians, in the way I do, with the impunity I enjoy with my rights as an American (yes, England, Australia, Canada, France, some other places) but, by and large, even though I have nothing good to say in my cartoons, I’m in a good place in the USA, and I appreciate that.
All the news is the run up to war with Syria – except that we had a charming interruption with Miley Cyrus and her twerking. I may draw another Miley cartoon – she is a gift to cartoonists.
The next one is a little trite, but accurate, I think. There are no good guys in Syria, and I’m not sure it is a bad thing if Assad wins his civil war over the other devils. Presidents always feel the need to meddle in these things. It is a presidential disease.
Here’s my most recent one, with Obama ready to take a blood bath. There have been so many cartoon about Syria and blood, I had to join in.
