It may be the Era of Change, but it's politics as usual in DC. Last month, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele found himself groveling to conservative demagogue Rush Limbaugh after Rush's scathing rebuke of his mild criticism. We can only imagine the amount of sucking up he's doing now to salvage his conservative credibility after saying that abortion should be an individual choice!! Meanwhile, ideological whore Joe Lieberman found himself crawling back to Democratic Senator Chris Dodd, who backed his opponent Ned Lamont in the last election. Joe is desperate to reingratiate himself with liberals after stupidly abandoning the ideology just as it rose to power in the US. Then again, Just Regular Joseph was never a liberal.

Can you DIG it?

Admittedly, this is more shameless self-promotion than political cartoon, but dig my painting on the cover of the new edition of Boston's weekly entertainment magazine, the Weekly Dig.


It's a painting of some relatives of mine in Ireland 45 years ago. Since this is a political art blog, I'll make a clumsy seque and say that I sincerely hope that the recent violence in Northern Ireland does not lead to a return to The Troubles.
