The editorial cartoons of Matt Davies

White House Steps

November
12

Sorry for the radio silence. Our tech department just finished a server/system switchover. Everything should be smooth sailing from here…Except, I can’t seem to get my superfly star rating system back online. I’ll get back in there and start clicking on some more technical and mysteriously named buttons to see what I can cook up.

The cartoon is self-explanatory (hey, aren’t they all?). Republicans are going crazy trying to figure out where they went wrong. The economy simply went really bad in September and that was, I believe, it. Enter President Obama.
Establishment Democrats who are chomping at the bit to overreach and think this was some type of glorious mandate to transform the country in their ideologically purist image run the risk of making the same mistakes the Bush administration did. Conversely, Republicans who think the party needs to move further right on social issues to win back American voters are just plain crazy.

That said, I don’t plan to hold my breath waiting for some newfound transformational aptitude on either count.
