Mitt’s Bookshelf: Women Binders and More
If you watched the second presidential debate last night, and if you were on twitter at the same time, it would have been difficult to miss Mitt Romney’s comment on “binders full of women.” So I drew this little cartoon. Hope you enjoy.
Beware Punditry
Okay, I admit, from time to time, I like a good pundit. But lately, in my estimation, some pundits have been pushing it. They are throwing their ideas around like they have any weight, and causing polls to swing wildly. They are calling winners of debates with wild abandon. They are confusing people, causing undecideds to be decided. They are scaring children with their opinions. Parents need to be sure their children are out of the room when pundits are on the television. Or at the very least, discover the mute button and use it. Pundits are harmless when mute.
Politics Relief
I posted this cartoon and some suggestions as to how to get through this political season with your mind still intact on my column for Forbes.com. I love politics, but sometimes I feel my head might explode. Here is the link!!
Balloons, Social Media and Conventions
In this article, I examine how we can perhaps watch the conventions in the future, maybe make them more fun, and what some media outlets are doing now to make changes to our viewing experience: http://www.forbes.com/sites/lizadonnelly/2012/09/06/more-balloons-social-media-and-other-ways-to-make-politics-more-fun/
War On Women
Last week was quite a week for the issue of women in the race for the President. It inspired me to draw the cartoon above.
Whether you want to call it a War on Women or not, the GOP is doing a lot to try to take away rights for women. When I drew this cartoon, I actually had in mind that the little girl was asking her mother about whether or not she acted to fight against this war on women. But I see now it could be interpreted either way. No matter. Children hear the word war and interpret it any way they can. It’s just sad we have to have such a word.
