    The GOP Hatches a Plan

    The GOP Hatches a Plan by Bearman Cartoons

    The GOP hatches a plan.  Yet it seems to continually backfire.  (With apologies to Dr Suess and Horton Hatches an Egg).   Last summer when Donald Trump was first running, the GOP figured he was a flash in the pan candidate who would fizzle out.  But they figured they could use his celebrity to their advantage and made him pledge that he would support whomever became the Republican nominee and wouldn’t seek a third party run.  Six months later, Trump is commanding the lead in the run to the nomination and Republicans are backtracking in droves.

    One time candidate Marco Rubio stated “I still at this moment continue to intend to support the Republican nominee, but it’s getting harder every day.”

    So will we end up with a brokered convention that could spell the end of the Republican Party as one entity?  Will two sub parties emerge?  So as the cartoon says, the GOP is holding to the pledge

    “I meant what I said,
    I said what I meant.
    I’ll support Trump’s nomination
    one hundred percent….
    unless I destroy both of us in the process.”

  • Helicopter Parents on Easter

    Editorial Cartoon: Helicopter Parents and Easter Egg Hunts

    Today’s editorial cartoon is for all the parents of precious children who have ruined Easter Egg Hunts for the rest of the world.  From Georgia to Colorado, Easter Egg Hunts, a tradition for Christian children on Easter, have been cancelled due to helicopter parents.

    Seems some parents feel the need to make sure their kids win at any cost including jumping into the fray, knocking down other kids, just to make sure their precious child get an egg.  Sure there were probably some over aggressive kids that should have been reigned in by their parents but that shouldn’t result in chaos on what should be a kids event.

    Want to make sure your kid walks away with an egg or two.  If they start coming back empty handed, drop a few eggs you brought near your feet and exclaim “oh look you missed one”  Or better yet, teach your kid how to deal with and overcome disappointment.

    When I started this site 5-6 years ago, I expected it to be a hit within a year, have a book deal within 18 months and have Hollywood calling to option my work within three years.  Guess what, none of that happened.  And if my parents hadn’t taught me how to deal with disappointment, I would be curled up in a fetal position in the corner instead of posting this gem.
