Ted Rall was the first non-Republican-shill of a cartoonist I saw who savagely criticized President Obama and his Party's leadership. At first I resented what he was doing. Now, not so much.

If someone doesn't let Democrats see their mistakes, how can we hope they will ever improve?

Or so I've been told by some blinder adorned obsequious sycophantic types.

Ugly truth.

and has reported the facts as he's found them instead of repeating press releases.
I admire the guy and he's been consistent throughout his career.

He has included Obama's children in some of his toons, and I can't support that. But he is clearly passionate, and pissed off, about the rightward movement of this country. Mr. Fish is another cartoonist who goes to the line, and sometimes over it. But this toon is exactly on target.

Probably by 'convicting' it of a crime and sending it to a for-profit prison.

That's the sensible thing to do and our stack is about the size of Mt. Shasta. Boy, we're really gonna get 'em one day.
