Now you can't say it's a thankless job. LOL
Seriously, I appreciate having a place to see political 'toons without endless surfing. Thanx again.

If the reference isn't immediately obvious to you, an arcade game came out about 20 years ago called "Smash TV" in a game show format with a rMoney sort of host and the objective of the player(s) was to go from room to room shooting everything in sight and gathering up new weapons, money, toasters, TVs, etc. It had the nickname "Total Carnage". A few years later, they came out with a sequel, and guess what, it was called "Total Carnage".

At the end of each level, you had to face a "boss". The first one looked very much like the fat cat in that cartoon. It was really gross, but addictive and unlike most of the other shooting games, it had a humorous twist to it.
