Whose Charlotte, you may ask? If you don’t know, you will know very soon. Charlotte is Chelsea Clinton’s new baby daughter, born this week. She is also of course the granddaughter of Hillary and Bill. When I first heard the news, I was very happy for them all, including the father Marc. But then I started worrying: will she be dressed in pink? Wear bows and sparkles, only be given dolls, tea sets, and toy kitchens? I imagine she will play with those things but also play with legos, trucks, climb trees and play sports, she will love to get dirty as much as she loves to paint her nails. Charlotte has a strong act to follow in her mother and her grandmother, but they are terrific role models. I wish her well.

Hillary Chatter
This cartoon originally appeared on Medium, a relatively new blog platform started by the by Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone. Every Monday morning, they publish a cartoon/comic of mine on politics for a section of Medium called The Nib. Go check it out! Lots of cartoons there all week long.

Rest Up, Hillary Clinton
Rest up, Hillary. We will need you in 2016, and promise not to overly watch you this time. Wishful thinking, but I think times have changed. My post on Hillary Clitnon on Forbes.com
Hillary Clinton Was Right– We Need To Do Better In 2013
I recently wrote a piece about women’s rights in 2013, and shared a clip of Hillary Clinton’s speech on the subject in 1995. Please go visit my column at Forbes.com! In the new year, I will focus almost exclusively on the issue of women’s rights.
Hillary Clinton’s Day In The Middle East
Every now and then, I wonder what it’s like to be Hillary Clinton. Just the other day, I wondered that again as I read that she peeled off from the Presidental party in Mayanmar and flew off to Jerusalem to meet with world leaders. The moment I heard Secretary of State Clinton was traveling to the Middle East to try to assist in negotiating a cease fire in the deadly fighting between Gaza and Israel, I humorously said to myself (and to twitter): Hillary is going to the Mid-East to put those boys in a “time out.” And I drew this cartoon.
It is certain all four players helped to bring about a cease fire. Who knows if Hillary was a key player? If she hadn’t gone to be a part of the negotiations, would there have been a cease fire? We won’t know until one of them writes a book about it.
But I think I will add Hillary to the list of all the things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving. I hope that yesterday she got to stop helping the world for a moment and have some turkey and stuffing with Chelsea and Bill.
