My news fast continues, and after weeks of oblivionI have concluded that nothing at all is taking place in the world! I would have thought by now that if anything at all that could possibly affect my life were transpiring[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There is a brilliant episode of the always brilliant South Park in which obese, racist 4th grader Cartman viciously mocks a motivational speaker at his school, a dwarf. After failing to enlighten Cartman through passive resistance, the speaker ultimately organizes[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My apologies for not having a fresh, home-brewed Coffee Break cartoon for you this past Friday. Last week I took a vacation to Asheville, NC, the Portland of the South, to let my ruined index finger convalesce, and did not[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So Obama has given us his bill of particulars for mitigating against the next mass killing spree, and New York governor Andy Cuomo has charged merrily ahead with assault weapons ban for my home state. I’m sure some of the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Tongues sure were a-waggin’ over the Obama/Romney kiss-and-make-up-lunch yesterday. The event was shrouded in Illuminati-like mystery, and the physical evidence that Romney even attended the meeting wouldn’t satisfy your average Bigfoot hunter. Many in the press lamented that they weren’t[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sheesh! This “wrapping up Weapon Brown” thing is more agonizing than I thought! Still, I will keep to my damn schedule, even if I bend my rules a bit. Even if I have to make rule origami out of them.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Soon you will all vote in the most important election in all of earth’s history! An election more historic than the one where the dinosaurs voted to defund their asteroid shield! But before you do, let Thomas Peterffy, right wing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’d been preparing all day to give you my review of the second Obama/Romney debate, but I kept getting distracted by this “Internet” that is all the rage. I tell you, the Internet is like some sort of LSD carnival[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The moment has arrived! After years of campaigning, mudslinging, shit-flinging, hate-speeching and conspiracy mongering, the final assault on the voters’ patience is about to be launched!

My camo pants have just arrived in the mail and my coded instructions from Julian Assange have all been decrypted (he hides them in Jimmy Fallon’s monologues). The Revolution is nigh! True to my convictions, this will be a green revolution.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Double Tap pre-orders are all in the mail! Like Christ on his cross, I can finally croak the words “It is accomplished,” and die. Also like Christ, I intend to raise myself from the dead to become a powerhouse[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In his younger and more optimistic years, Barack Obama was a community organizer. Republican clods, unable to articulate why uniting neighborhoods, churches and business associations for the common good is a sin against the white man, will nonetheless try and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Now that we are down to the last 15 minutes of the debt ceiling debate, I am going to spoil the ending of this schtick-filled Washington blockbuster for you. Obviously, with  the guarantee of a compromise that would sustain both[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
