My friends on the right at Big Hollywood and also on the left at the Cincinnati Beacon are a flutter about President Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Seems the President himself was a little confused as he is only the third US President to win while in office. Maybe he just misunderstood the call.

David Letterman admitted this week to having at least one affair with a staffer and at least one other has come out. His production company is known as Worldwide Pants. As the title of this editorial cartoon says “Worldwide Pants INDEED”.

I firmly believe that there are people who oppose President Obama and everything he stands for simply because of the color of his skin. As Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post does, I would tend to throw most of the “birthers” in that group (these are the people who say Obama shouldn’t be President because they think he wasn’t born in the United States).
But former President Jimmy Carter does nothing to further real work done in race relations or even bring to light real racist attitudes toward the current President, when he said, “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.” An “overwhelming portion”???
It is a huge disservice to the sitting President to make a comment like that. So now instead of opposing plans and creating dialogue about it, Obama’s foes will simply oppose everything without dialogue for fear of being charged with racism.
On the other hand the Right doesn’t do a good job of protecting themselves against charges of racism. When 5% of a anti-Obama policy rally contains racist imagery or signage and there isn’t a strong stance within the group itself to weed those people out, it is no wonder that those are the people that end up on the news.
I like what Bill Clinton had to say in response and would be more in line with my thinking: “I believe that while it is true that some of the most extreme opponents of President Obama may also still have racial prejudice, I believe that 100 percent of those who are opposing him now would be against him if he were a white Democrat.”
Much like Joe Wilson disrupted the President’s address, Carter is distrupting the President’s agenda. Jimmy does a great job of building houses. He should stick with that.

So ACORN a United States group that the Republicans have been trying to go after for the last several years has pretty much screwed themselves over. It seems a man and a woman posing as a pimp and prostitute went into several ACORN offices trying to figure out how they could qualify for housing and other services ACORN helps with. The prostitution and the pimping didn’t seem to phase the workers and even worse niether did the fact that they talked about pimping out underage Salvadoran sex slaves.
Jon Stewart sums it up in his rant better than I can explain all the details.
So I give you the ACORN got BUSTed editorial cartoon.

So the blogosphere is abuzz today about Kanye West butting into the acceptance speech of Taylor Swift last night on the MTV Video Music Awards and dissing her saying that Beyonce should have won. MTV, Huffington Post, TannerLeah, FrigginLoon and The Star Celeb are all saying their piece on it.
And then there is the reality brought to you by me:

It doesn’t matter the President or the opposition, nothing seems to change. No matter how benign a comment or action by the U.S. President, the opposition has to turn it into a rallying cry. This week in the United States, President Barack Obama gave a speech on education aimed at students and taking personal responsibility for their education.
Some conservatives applauded the effort while others had a different attitude. “It is not the President’s job to lecture my kids on responsibility. It is MINE.” Funny these same people would probably wonder where the truant officer was when they see other peoples’ kids roaming the mall during school hours.
But liberals, please don’t take a high and mighty stand either. This is the same thing you did to Bush, they did to Clinton, you did to Bush I, you did to Reagan… My problem is that these spout offs become the boy who cried wolf. You might have an important point on an important subject but by then I have stopped listening.
So I bring you today’s Editorial Cartoon.

If you missed the beginning of our story…go here first.
And the final episode of Celebrity Death Panel…
Originally I had in mind that Graham Reaper would be Sarah Palin trying to make money off “Death Panels” like Al Gore does off of Carbon Credits. But then I figured you all needed something to do for two weeks while I am gone. Just like the books when you were a kid where you chose the ending, I am asking the frequent commenters and lurkers of beartoons.com to comment on who they think the character should be and what he or she is saying.
So I am calling out those who I see coming here from other sites and especially those who don’t comment. Jeff Jena and his conservative friends at Big Hollywood. Rhino and his Libertarian friends at the DailyPaul. Jammer get the Prairie Progressives to chime in. Even the 2012 conspiracy news guys need to put down their Playboy Magazines and chime in.
It can either be someone you don’t like or someone you do…
Here is the only thing I ask. If you want to comment beyond offering up the suggestion of the identity of Graham Reaper and what he/she should be saying…BE CIVIL. This site is about the funny. I am leaving comments open while I am gone so let’s all get along.
Once I get back, I’ll pick the most popular or the one that I find funniest and draw it as the actual final panel of this series.
Note 1 – I haven’t left you completely without something new to look at while I am gone the next couple weeks. Thursday as I have a series of great toonists lined up to share with us either what they think they will look like or their cartoon character will look like at age 100. I’ll have a new one every two days.
Note 2 – Check out the story arc of the possible demise of the Frustrated Cartoonist as Nate Fakes hits the big time.
Note 3 – Congratulations to George Ford on his one year Anniversary of the online comic Addanac City. After doing six toons in a row, I have new respect for all of you who hold down a full time job and still can crank out 3-7 new cartoons every week.
I’ll be around to comment on Wednesday and Thursday morning but after that, you have to talk amongst yourselves.

Did you come here in the middle of the story. Go here to see the worlds first editorial cartoon story arc from the beginning.
Some background for my readers who don’t know who Janeane Garofalo is since she hasn’t really been high on the radar except for some political comments and stints on Air America, the West Wing and now 24.
In the mid to late 90’s Janeane was in a series of hit movies including Reality Bites, The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Mystery Men. She was also nominated twice for an Emmy on the Larry Sanders Show which aired on HBO. Then the Iraq war started and her political activism seemed to overtake her acting ambitions. I don’t know if that made producers not think she could still be funny because I personally haven’t seen her in a high profile comedy role since.
In 2004, she was one of several celebritys killed off in Southpark Creator’s Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s film Team America: World Police.
And if you are tired of me just bashing liberal celebs…tune in tomorrow.
