This cartoon speaks to an issue close to home. In my younger days, I used to get this all the time, and I hated it! You can read more about it my post on Forbes.com.

Anthony Weiner Is Strange, But He Is Also A Typical Politician
The candidate for the Mayor of New York City, Anthony Weiner, is making a lot of news lately. And not good news, at least for him. Good news for cartoonists and humorists. Here is my post on Forbes.com on this very odd, but in some ways not untypical, politician.
Summertime Cartoons
No matter what you are doing this summer: it’s funny. Except the global warming part of it, which is hard to ignore. But while you worry about that, try to enjoy!
What To Do On July Fourth This Year
Freedom means being able to chose how to celebrate the 4th of July. Flags, beer, hot dogs, fireworks, stay home and sleep….whatever you want. It also means being able to chose whom you want to marry. Happy Fourth of July everyone! Read a slightly longer post here, on my Forbes Column.
Wendy Davis, Rick Perry and Shoes
What a busy week! Something for (almost) everyone. Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Gay Marriage Rights, Immigration Rights and Abortion Rights. It’s hard to know what to focus on as a cartoonist. I could cartoon all of them, but actually I can’t. So I chose to draw about the amazing filibuster by Senator Wendy Davis and her colleagues (and the crowd!) in Texas, which I found fascinating. Sadly, it won’t stick: Governor Rick Perry has scheduled another session and the bill to virtually end a woman’s right to chose in Texas will pass. Here is my take on my column on Forbes.com–with a slightly different cartoon.
NASA Women Astronauts And A Little Girl’s Hopes
I really was happy when I read the news the other day that NASA’s new astronaut recruits are half women. Four men, four women. Then–as I often do–I questioned my enthusiasm. Does this mean that being an astronaut means lower pay and status because the Shuttle Program is no more? Is that why more women are now in the field? I hope that’s not the case, as it has been in other areas. But regardless, it’s good news that more women are in engineering and science. Like these little girls, I’m optimistic. Here is my Forbes piece on this topic.
