11. Well, DUers aren't paid to type blocks of text.
I assume the graphics people at Fox News are.

4. Amazing how many Medicare aged people are protesting
Maybe we need to give them a card they can sign to opt out of Medicare, since they don't want the government health care

5. The only problem with this video is that it's very hard to sit through the first part.
It took willpower to sit through that first part without stopping it to keep me from throwing my monitor across the room.

8. "Corporate Dupes in Action"
"Corporate Dupes in Action"
Why are these Right Wing anti Health Care mobsters not wearing brown shirts? That's exactly how these fascists are acting, a playbook straight out of the 1930's. And this latest batch of Pavlov's dopes seem to be eating this crap up hook line and sinker. Well I devoted my latest cartoon to these "Corporate Dupes" It's my latest Left of Center Political Cartoon, up at my website now, www.whatnowtoons.com.
