This Friday's jabs at government

Today we're exploring with words and pictures government transparency.  Don't get me wrong -- I like Obama and think he's a fine person and his leadership style shows forethought and restraint, for the most part.  But considering all that's been revealed about his administration lately, when he says he stands for transparency in government I don't believe it.  It could be that hounds from hell are sniffing out every crack in Washington that will reveal Obama in a bad light and all that was hidden became known in the last month.  Maybe so.

At any rate, here's my theme and variations on government transparency with an aside thrown in.

As a nod to Obama's apparent transformation to Tricky Dicky, there's this from Cagle Post -- Rick McKee's "Transparent Obama:"

From Mike Keefe, formerly with the Denver Post, is this piece showing what we know vs. what the government knows:

Looking at one of the mechanisms that lifts the veil, Kevin Kallaugher, aka KAL and a contributor to the Economist, depicts WikiLeaks:

Last on the topic of transparency is Bob Gorrell's "Invisibility Cloak," published at The Week:

This next cartoon, also published at The Week, made me laugh.  It's by R.J.Matson and titled "An Ear to the Ground."

And that's it for today, Folks.

Friday walkabout

Not having a particular theme in mind for today's post, I just wandered around the web picking up what caught my attention.  Yesterday's theme of tactical frivolity is still in mind, but don't have a plan -- yet.

At Fuffermutter there's cartoonist Mitra Farmand. The cartoon below is one of hers.

Clay Bennett was found hanging out on the web. His site is nicely organized; here's one of his cartoons:

Remembering Kevin Kallaugher's (KAL) site, I took a look at his portfolio and found this

Brian Crane draws Pickles for the Washington Post. Here he is hard at work.

I like Brian's style of work, think I'll give it a try.
