I'm trying an experiment with color this week. Papers run the cartoons in black and white, so I've had little incentive to color them until now, but I feel my web readership has grown enough that I may as well try it out. There might be some weeks when I'm too busy to do it -- we'll see.

I'm sure it has been pointed out many times that if a Democratic administration had maliciously blown the cover of a CIA agent, the right would be frothing at the mouth voluminously. But this hypocrisy cannot be highlighted enough. The dearth of right-wing pundits willing to come forth and say, "Dude, that was uncool" is absolutely damning. It doesn't matter where you stand on the political spectrum -- this was massively uncool. The more the right sputters hair-splitting excuses, as my flaming wingnut character does in the cartoon, the more ridiculous they look.

As much as I'm enjoying all of this indictment business, I'm still pretty cynical about the prospect of bringing this fetid administration down. They own the media, and Fox News will ensure millions of Americans stay in the dark. They will continue to be as radical as ever, as evidenced by today's off-the-map Supreme Court nomination. If Alito gets on the court, we're looking at a long legacy of ruin, indictments or not.
