   Fennec, thanks - my cartoon was updated, and readers
   who missed the previous cartoon might have also missed these informative links.

   For those of you who have not been on this page the last couple of days,you can check the previous cartoon, which was about the response to the government report on mammograms. The links posted above by fennec provide a range of
   background information on cancer and other health issues.

   bueller, thanks for your confidence. If in any way I can help on these questions I am always ready. I feel this is the least I can do to repay the enormous benefits I have had in my profession and in my personal life.

   Nice oldlegodad. Those who do not know history and all. so it is no surprise the great intellect in his own world would not understand or even get it.

   Why not here as a start:
   Politicians are no more than housekeepers and janitors… unfortunately they act like they own the building.

   GO GREEN….RECYCLE CONGRESS!

   I sometimes do illustrations to accompany my Editorial Page editor’s columns and editorials. Some of these, I do using visual metaphors ( much like editorial cartoons employ) , and one of my editor’s favorites is Neville Chamberlain. Over the last several years, i’ve actually
   done a few of these small mock woodcut - style illustrations of Chamberlain. The usual scenario is to show
   Chamberlain emerging from a plane, umbrella in one
   hand, signed treaty in the other.

   The point of these illustrations, in order to compliment
   the written editorials they accompany, is to literally compare
   the public official being written about to Chamberlain.
   Obviously, my editor is most indignant about a particular
   kind of hubris ( or naivite’ ) in those who handle our diplomacy - and national defense.

   In the case of President Obama returning from China, however, I wouldn’t apply Chambelain symbolism, because at the end of his trip, it was rather obvious,painfully so, actually, that Obama had not achieved
   his objectives.We are in a pretty bleeep weak bargaining
   position with China right now.

   If I happened to miss any statements Obama made regarding his trip that characterized it as some kind of great success, however…

    Yeh, him getting off the plane after his apology tour right after he turned prez would be more suiting. But then again every time he does one of his tours of I am not bush he loses credibility in the eyes of the world.

    Interesting that Dems assigned huge expectations to him changing the world in 24 hours after taking office, and so did the Repubs- of course one group hoped for success, the other failures to gloat over.

    When “W” took office, I expected failures, and was rewarded.

    Do Libs stay at home and constantly fume over the BUSH?
    It’s mentally sick!

    DrCanuck said, 2 days ago

    No, we run the world and fume over Bush.

    NoFearPup said, 2 days ago

    You run the world in your mind and fume over the BUSH.

    fennec, thanks for the links and the time you took to make sure I saw them. And, if I may, thanks on behalf of all who read these comments when you take time to share your knowledge with us. Sincerely, Glorious Gorilla

    Poopydog, are you unaware of how civilization has sprung from the efforts of progressives and liberals, always looking for better ways of doing things, over the objections of the conservatives who wish to “conserve” things the way they were?

    Neville Chamberlain and Édouard Daladier, neither of them by any means «pacifists», thought that by allowing Hitler et al to split Czechoslovakia (abetted, it must be remembered, by the criminally weak Beneš, who didn’t dare accept help from the one country that offered it), they had pointed German ambition to the East (Liebensraum, nicht wahr ?) and ensured that that country would attack the Soviet Union. And indeed, they were right - it was only that Hitler and his band decided to do their Western European Tour before moving East. The former went according to plan, the latter did not. What are the historical lessons to be learned from these events ? As many as there are historians I suppose, but perhaps this is one of them - playing the Great Game is a risky business and beggar thy neighbour a risky strategy….

    Given current events from the right, it might be remembered that firing on Ft. Sumpter didn’t end up quite as planned.

    “Liebensraum”????

    Are you aware, Canoogle, that historically civilizations have arose out of a need for protection and resource security? Furthermore, that those governments are set up to serve Elitist-Primaries who acted in the “best” interest of their citizens?
    America was wrested from relative-primtivism by a conglomerate of Christian agrarian European immigrants. These and other facts do not lend support for your Hefner-FDR-Dewey-Lenin-Evolutionist Freeithinker theory for advanced civilization.
    
    Technical and social “innovation” yes - but that is not always a good thing- example;Caligula - and have their “backward” “non”-progressive corolloraries as well: American Congregationalism, for example- from which our representative system of government also sprang (among other social-constructs).

    NFP, please read “1491” by Charles C. Mann. You have so many misconceptions about the pre-European history of the Americas that it is difficult to know where to start. And that goes for your apparent understanding of early US history as well. I’d suggest that your read James Loewen’s books for that except I don’t think you’re ready enough to be open to what they have to say.

    Just give me one point where you think I’m wrong.

    puppy, how sweet of you! someone must have given you a scrumptious bone, satiating your pugnaciousness. Seriously, thanks!.

    you still haven’t revealed how many persona you portray on these pages … two? three? (and all the variations on Pup and Fear) count only as one.

    I thought it was his little black book of homosexual partners.

    On the newsstand there was an article on Obama’s homosexual lover.
