  • Romney Cuts off Head of Sesame Street

    Romney Cuts off Head of Big Bird by Bearman Cartoons

    Whoa!  What are you doing posting an editorial cartoon on a Tuesday you ask?  Well my friends this is a two part experiment.  The question in the experiment is can I piss off both my liberal friends and conservative friends using the same cartoon on two different days.

    Today’s cartoon might of course irritate some of my more conservative friends.  Seems since the debate, candidate Mitt Romney has been taking flack for his assertion during the debates that he would consider cutting funding of PBS, the broadcaster of shows such as Sesame Street.   There have been memes galore floating around on social media blasting Mitt for it, but I thought nothing said it better than Mitt Romney holding a knife in one hand and the head of Big Bird in the other.

    So how could this possibly irritate my liberal friends?  Well you have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

  • Pulitzer Online Noms Follow Up Post

    Last week I created this blog entry discussing how the Pulitzer organization is now accepting online newspapers for consideration of their coveted award.

    Well since then I received an email from Simon Owens of bloggasm.com (it’s not some sex site, you dirty minded people) He wrote this article for pbs.org that has more details. In it he speaks with Pulitzer administrator Sig Gissler, as well as editors from Slate and Salon.com.
