Cartoons: know your enemy

On average I'm currently receiving daily 2 to 4 spam emails from the Democratic Party, 2 to 3 spam emails from my state Senator Mark Begich, and the odd spam email from candidates in other states (Sheldon Whitehouse, really?). Most of them because I subscribed to Obama's Organizing for America, his grassroots campaign. Begich got my email address from a petition. If I contributed the minimum at each email, I'd be spending somewhere near $1000.00 a month. None of these organizations allow you to unsubscribe. Needless to say all of these emails go to the trash on arrival.

But the Democrats, in my view, are still preferable to the Republicans. Here are some cartoons poking fun at both.

And then there's Fox News pushing Ebola fear.

It's enough to make one want to opt out completely.
