Instead of giving them money for their performance, they should be given the same type of recognition that us peons get: a plaque, a 10 minute ceremony in the office, complete with coffee and donuts, and then it’s back to work. Maybe an Oscar, but no money.
Maybe they should have given him a noble prize? wait that would not work, it says “performance” That only goes to ones you want to do something.
But then again the american people did not want to give away money We just wanted the government to get out of they way. If we had NOT spent all that money say on “cash for clunkers” maybe the cycle of recovery can and will start sooner.
Toles only has it half right. Government gives us Big Business Boys bonuses from your taxes and then we give government money from you consumers to get them elected.
Great Monty Python show on IFC, cable t.v. The banking pirate skit by those guys seem so real now. The coconut riders could run for Congress. The race of the nits, the dead parrot skit. Lovely stuff,that Flying Circus.
With his singular style, Tom Toles tackles the complex issues of the day. This Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist skillfully targets political, economic and social concerns — in particular complicated environmental issues — with a clear-eyed precision that hits the mark every time.

Every Toles character is a rough triangle. I do not know what this means.
Perhaps they are the only shapes (aside from rectangles) that he is familiar with.

Somebody please shoot the bubblehead who is labeling tons of cartoons “make angry love to fish”; it’s been going on for DAYS now…
It’s one of you Lefties, that’s obvious. Please put a bag over him, or something…

And you poor smucks pay for both. Haw, haw, haw.

Ho ho ho! What a delightful little anecdote, Neocon Man! Now, tell me, old boy, are we still on for the races this afternoon?
