    It’s hard to explain, impossible to understand.

    I think it’s hilarious and brilliant.

    I also think that some people’s inability to understand this ‘toon is indicative of exactly the mess we’re in.

    You are correct fennec–the stimulus is not working as planned.

    For the humor impaired: The stimulus is not working and the plan Obama is using is not useful.

    Yeah, the plan isn’t working so well that the banks are repaying the TARP money and the unemployment rate has stabilized. Yes, the ‘toon is funny because it is using the same methods that Bush used to get things moving, so we’ll have to try something else.

    By the time I get past all the annoying banners, flyouts, fake 100,000th visitor awards, and every other annoying, intrusive, ineffective, and just plain stupid advertising gimmick on this “new and improved’ website none of the cartoons seem funny. What a shame. If I wanted to try to read comics while sitting in a circus tent on the Las Vegas Strip I would go there.

    Tolestoy, abandon IE. load Google Chrome..Clean and neat..no ads.I don’t know what problems you are having. My only complaint is loss of followers and following. But maybe I just haven’t
    clicked the proper icon yet.

    Actually, the thing triggering my comment was the little note at the bottom about string theory. I still think that was trying too hard.

    Toles is no Draper Hill or Gillray. Anyway…

    Is anybody paying attention to the U.S. strong-arming Bank of America buyout of Merrill Lynch (the mainstreams aren’t discussing it much, mainly the tasteless Palin-Letterman joke controversy. Al Franken is a far more reputable gap-toothed Dem. than Letterman, he does more U.S.O. work, for one)? Lawmakers grilled Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Kenneth Lewis on his decisions to seek cover from the Federal Reserve and not tell shareholders about losses at Merrill Lynch & Co. last December.

    But Mr. Lewis, supposedly, if not a trifle flustered, stood his ground before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Thursday, defending the decision to go ahead with the government-assisted Merrill takeover and keep the firm’s ballooning losses secret. The CEO also said he didn’t feel that federal officials acted improperly in the deal–because they had his livelihood, and cajones, where they wanted ‘em, that’s why he’s at liberty to entertain that thought.

    The 62-year-old acknowledged publicly for the first time that the government threatened to remove him or other officials should they not agree to this measure…

    Now, it’s either that the Powers that Are saw this whole fiasco coming and are pursuing, as we see now, “failed” preemptive measures or, as many believe, like myself, this is merely a way to wrest control of private enterprise away from the private citizen-shareholders-working middle class. I mean, like Venezuela, the U.S. now owns over 60% of the banking, insurance, and automotive niches in this country, and Barack, in his domestic economic policy, is the modern equivalent of the Polizei. Welcome to the Weimar of the 20’s.
