    Agreed, Pat, and the Republicans could also use a few more Mark Hatfields.

    for those of you that don’t need the media on the left or the right. for those of you who might be curious about how a minority of a minority can hold the nation hostage. check out this link.I don’t understand why this isn’t front page news, you have to dig through cspan to find it.the government shutdown is controlled by ONE SINGLE PERSON. seems rather anti-American and anti-democratic to me.check out the link http://www.upworthy.com/congress-did-something-so-spectacularly-creepy-that-its-too-unbelievable-to-make-up?c=ufb1this is almost a bill of attainder.

    The government shutdown continues apaceBut soon the Tea Party will have to save faceA financial default can never be artyAnd the people now know it’s de fault of de PartyThe people have spoken: blackmail is a crimeA damn dirty shame and a waste of our timeTea Party insanity? Quite clear to seeThey’re all drinking Koolaid, it seems, and not teaAnd now they are trapped, though lacking in thoughtThey’re trying to find a brand-new plot to plotLike Christie, who opted for lap band, not trainerThe Party will blame not themselves, they’ll blame Boehner

    Blame the Neuter. The current GOP is his legacy.

    Ahem. Meseems that folks around here may not be keeping up on their bullcrit. http://tinyurl.com/kw9xtmk This drawing, not really a cartoon, is an obvious “tip” of the hat to Chris Matthews’ new book “Tip and the Gipper.” As the blurb says: “TIP AND THE GIPPER is a magnificent personal history of a time when two great political opponents served together for the benefit of the country…[and] is the story of the kind of heroism we need today.”

    I think that this is the most flattering drawing of either of these gentlemen that I can recall Mr. Rall ever drawing.

    Shock! I suddenly realize that I have crossed from an alternate reality where Reagan was a conservative puppet, an old ex-actor who always seem to read from a script, with canned voice inflections and body language. Whose Hollywood patriotic clichés and reiterations of “Stay the course” drove us crazy. Whom Oliphant loved to draw as a clueless, wrinkled plank. This reality here must be better than the one I left … I hope?.Oh, I wish I had lived in this reality where Reagan was a Statesman and I hadn’t been out of work for two years when he was military-spending Russia under the table. Did Japan get most of our electronics industry in this reality? Did Reagan take full credit for the collapse of East Germany and Russia in this time stream?. I must have crossed realities during my last operation. I apparently have some catching up to do. So, what’s a Ted Cruz? Is he related to Tom?
