Sunday Funnies

It was a busy, busy week in political cartoon land last week. President Obama visited Japan and China where his bowing to the Japanese Emperor was seen as offensive by some back home. In Canada, a portly Member of Parliament took offense when another Member Twittered about his girth in a Parliamentary Committee.

Elsewhere, allegations were made that Canadian soldiers knew Taliban prisoners would be tortured when they handed them over to Afghan authorities. Sarah Palin's much anticipated book came out last week. And believe it or not, Bert and Ernie and all their Sesame Street buddies hit a significant milestone.

So where are the "girth" twitters? I'm anxious to read them!

Ha!

Great funnies as usual. I especially like the one of Obama bowing to Burger King.

Yeesh.

Quirks: One MP wants to ban twittering fro Parliament because it shows "the banality of this place." He seems to have forgotten the televised daily Question period where members' stupidity is on display for all to see.

Me-Me: #s 4&5 are Canadian. The rest are by American political cartoonists. I'm an equal opportunity political cartoon displayer.
I have Ginsu knives... can I be president? Or better yet, king?

Those Barack O'Boy cartoons are so true. What a milquetoast and moron. His wife actually gave PM Brown tapes of Barack O'Boy's speeches. How damned egotistical! Both of them.

Don: I hear he bowed because his teleprompter was tipped over and he had to bend over to read it.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
