Cartoons: Obama, Republicans, China, and Ted Cruz

Again, today's cartoons are an assortment of what caught my eye. The last cartoon made me guffaw.

Obama's Plan to overhaul of the nation’s immigration enforcement system may allow millions of immigrants to stay and work in U.S. says the New York Times. The Republicans are not pleased.

China and the United States agreed on Wednesday to new limits on carbon emissions starting in 2025, but there is little agreement on cybersecurity.

If emissions aren't brought under control, this may happen.

Cartoons: mostly about ISIS

Today's selection of cartoons include some observations about ISIS (vs. ISIL), PTSD, and climate change.

To keep up with news on ISIS and related topics, you may want to pin NBC News' ISIS Terror page in your browser. On the other hand you may want to opt out of watching the news on the grounds that it's just another way for the fear mongers to sell stuff.

A fair amount has been said about the U.S.'s continuing involvement in the Middle East and Africa. There's a collection of articles at the Economist that dig a little deeper, beginning with "Caliphornia dreamin’"(look for links to the other articles at the bottom of the page). BTW, PTSD is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. (Had to look it up myself--funny, but perpetual sounds more right.)

Cartoons: the Pope has left the room

Don't know about you, but I was surprised to hear that Pope Benedict XVI resigned.  For a possibly biased report on why, take a look at Michael D'Antonio's article "Immunity for Rome's Rottweiler: Why The Pope Resigned" at Huffington Post.  An interesting news tidbit is this article -- "German cartoon predicted Pope’s resignation" from The [London] Times (aka Times Newspapers Limited).

Editorial cartoonists the world over had a take on this topic.  See some of the mostly American output below.

This first one is by Nick Anderson and was found at Time Magazine's Cartoons of the Week:

From U.S News & World Report gallery on the Catholic Contraception Controversy there's this one by Chan Lowe:

Three are from the San Jose Mercury News' cartoon slideshow titled "Pope Benedict resigns."  The first is one by Cameron Cardow:

Next is one by Rick McKee:

And lastly, here's one done by David Fitzsimmons:
