Cartoons: it's all in who's looking at it

Here are some viewpoints you may or may not find laughable.

Many news sources are reporting the demise of ObamaCare, despite its success in some states. The insurance companies are one of the parties contributing to its demise. (In case the print is too small to read, here's what it says: "We're pulling out of the ObamaCare marketplace. We can't continue to sell insurance to the poor if they're going to insist on using it.")

Cartoons: the truth is out there -- somewhere

During this week--Wikileaks news just keeps comin'; it's beginning to look like conspiracy theorists rule the day; an informal poll recognizes that we all, that's 100%, want this election to be over; and MetLife fired Charlie Brown.

Between Russians trying to hack our confidence in the election process, Wikileaks trying to discredit Clinton; and undercover video stings (see The hacking, leaking, undercover election), what's a voter to do?

A-a-nd I've been wondering: if Trump doesn't accept that he lost the election, what 's he gonna do? Show up at the White House with a moving van? Take the podium at the Inaugural? Crash a Joint Chiefs of Staff national security meeting? Just sayin'.

Cartoons: grope this

This week's batch of cartoons has three about politics and one about Samsung's flaming Galaxy Note 7.

Since the second presidential debate featured Donald's "locker room talk," be warned. Here's a transcript.

As a woman, this is how I plan to handle Donald's loose talk. There's a word for his communication problems; it's 'logorrhoea,' or diarrhea of the mouth. I'm not saying anything about the accusations of sexual misconduct, enough has already been said.

Cartoons: bashing away

Judging from the cartoons currently being shown on The Week's cartoon page, the cartooning world has given way to bashing your political opponent--and anyone else within range. So my selection today is about any topic not directly related to waging political war. This is what I found.

Bill Clinton was misquoted as describing "Obamacare as 'crazy',” according to New York Magazine in 7 Reasons To Stop Freaking Out About Obamacare.

While Capitalism in the U.S. isn't working particularly well, what with income inequality and favors for the wealthy, Socialism in Venezuela is crashing. It seems everyone is in the same stew and the pot is empty--In a hungry Venezuela, buying too much food can get you arrested.
