    Trump and Clinton – The Connection

    Donald Trump is an astute political investor having donated to candidates on both sides of the aisle.  However his history with donating and supporting Hillary Clinton has some conspiracy theorists wondering why threw his name in for the Republican Primary.   Could it be that this was just an elaborate ruse set up by the Clinton campaign to screw up the Republican Primary.  Imagine a plan to having the other candidates fall all over themselves trying to be just as obnoxious and unapologetic as Trump which could help a Hillary victory in the general election.

     

  • Bearman Cartoon: 2012 and the End of Days AGAIN

    Daryl Cagle has coined the term “Yahtzee” to refer to when 5 or more editorial cartoonists do the same gag. One he has ragged on in the past is using the “I’m with stupid” shirts on a cartoon. I have no idea who he is referring to..he he. In honor of that, I like to coin my own new phrase “Blue Ribbon.” When a cartoonist is the first to latch onto a new topic.

    I did a 20 second search of google and haven’t found anything poking fun at the next set of conspiracy theory doomsday predictors – 2012. I saw the movie trailer this past week and thought it was well done. Then I made a trip to the bookstore and noticed all the books on the subject (even one that is a How To Survive 2012 book).

    The basic gist is that there is a belief that because the Mayan calendar ends in December of 2012 that somehow they predicted the end of the world. One theory is that we will have a major catastrophe caused by the shifting of the North and South poles. I have even heard Nostradamus’ name thrown out. Didn’t he predict the end of days before during the turn of the century…didn’t come true. Sadly I think this will become worse than Y2K.

    So if you see a 2012 editorial cartoon online somewhere that was published before mine, let me know and I’ll gladly hand over my Blue Ribbon.
