SATURDAY ALTERNATIVE CARTOONS: SEPTEMBER 22, 2018

When will the world figure this out?

12 and 12. Balance. And now the days grow short, we come inside and enjoy each other and the benefits of what we have done. And... prepare for further feasting to come. (Well, you, not me. I am still on that major diet/fast!)

Rosenstein should be jailed for his admissions of treachery this week.

My family is from the oldest stock of the French to come to Canada, settling on the East Coast a few hundred years ago ~ some moving down to Cajun country in Louisiana, the rest eventually settling around Montreal on strip farms along the St. Lawrence River. A few subdivisions and a town named after my Grandfather. We are hardy stock and won't go down easy!

As ever, I root for the pups.

History repeats itself. It's an old trick Democrats employ when it can be applied to an enemy.

This chart surprised me, but then not so much upon reflection since I have long said that this abhorrent practice was more local culture than Islamic, even though they practice it more than the rest. I had no idea that Christians and Catholics carried on this; some sects of Jews, not included here, also practice FGM.

Sigh. A Canadian cartoon. 

"Back in the closet"? Really? 

Just let the children play!

Your brain on Communism

To qualify for these grants, organizations had to sign on the dotted line to promote abortion, multi-culturalism, as well as feminism. This left Christian groups hanging.

This cartoon is aimed at Trudeau's priorities.

Yours truly lives but a block from the Pacific shore....

Making the ludicrously alleged "White Supremacy" hand-sign?

A dog, access to the internet and a road to town for supplies: I could live here forever.

True story.

The punch lines write themselves.

These are my thoughts whenever something major happens, some shift in my knowledge base is altered, changing everything once known so clearly, now all thrown into chaos and in need of reworking. Good example: Learning the truth about feminism, Communism, etc and applying it to my own life experiences. It never ends sometimes.

This is a cork factory in Spain. It takes about 12 years to final production, so settle back and watch it grow.

I do not see Trump running in abject terror. Do you?

Not all but this is what Liberals would like you to believe. They have a "fix" for that.

Hairy cleavage. Mmmmm nummy. 

Ain't diversity grand?

Liberals raised such a fuss over this costume that it was taken off the market almost immediately. Might I suggest the above which can easily be whipped up at home with a lampshade and a red bikini? Guaranteed to trigger.

This cartoonist seems to reject the notion of false media reports about Florence.

Beautiful cartoon

There are light festivals being held in many communities around our lower Island this weekend. Few people will connect this with Mabon, more with Asian traditions.

That's me. Harder now, however, that I am older.

I have no idea why, but this makes me smile.

Leave it to our intrepid correspondent Busty Ross 

to bring a fresh new perspective to the otherwise stultifying Kavanaugh lynching...er, we mean proceedings. Ms Ross is, of course, not a woman to be trifled with, and we pity the fool who would underestimate her ability to convincingly make the case that "no means no."

Mind you, we're not actually recommending that every incidence of an unwanted sexual advance end with a man being dumped into a shallow grave ~ though we do think it's a great idea for women to know the basics (or more) of self-defense. Failing all else, ladies, just remember that a knee to the nuts is a highly compelling argument.

But rather than violence, we want to speak about the unfortunate effects of holding in a horrible secret for 30 years. This does nothing good for either the psyche of the victim, nor the accuracy of memories related to the actual event. We certainly acknowledge that coming clean at the time of an assault may create shame and embarrassment for the victim; in the case currently under review, the alleged victim said she couldn't tell anyone (least of all her parents) because she had knowingly put herself in harm's way by attending an unchaperoned "party" with older boys and alcohol.

But now, with the passage of so much time, it's simply impossible to know what really happened at that party so long ago and how much the victim's memories have metastasized or been rewritten.

And yet, the Left demands that justice must be done to avenge the complainant's honor, whether it was actually besmirched or not.

Which brings us to A Modest Proposal: the Left wants Kavanaugh punished despite the lack of evidence, the impossibility of investigation, and the expiration ~ by decades ~ of any relevant statute of limitations. We therefore suggest that he be sentenced to perform community service to pay back his debt to society in general and women in particular.

Specifically, we think he should be sentenced to lifetime community service...just as quickly as he can be sworn in for his well-deserved seat on the Supreme Court.

Brokeback Muppets: Our "Tempest in a Teapot" Award for the week goes to the minor media brouhaha surrounding an announcement by a former Sesame Street writer that puppet buddies Bert and Ernie were actually gay lovers ~ at least in the writer's mind (which is never a healthy place to be ~ trust us on this one).

Sesame Street quickly denied the allegation, making the not inconsequential point that the characters are puppets and not sexualized in any way. The whole subject is, like the bulge in Caitlyn Jenner's knickers, a moot point.

Truthfully, we think the LGBT community should be relieved to hear this. After all, do they really want gay couples to be represented as poorly dressed, constantly bickering, hopelessly dimwitted doofuses who exhibit really bad impulse control along and obsessive fascination in the ABCs, primary colors, and squeaky bath toys? We think not.

Rather, Sesame Street says that the real dynamic between Bert and Ernie is to show us that very different types of people can still be very good friends. And gay or straight, that's a great lesson for all of us.

Fact

$170 PETA created Halloween costume of Don Trump Jr. You can bet this one won't be taken off the rack at the behest of offended folk. You must supply your own gun, however.
