By Matt Wuerker, December 22, 2011 Jeff Danziger looks back at the year: http://www.danzigercartoons.com/ Happy Holidays to all the political cartoonists who make the often wretched days of our lives more bearable through the art of laughter. A Special Note:
This holiday season please keep Ali Ferzat, his family, and the people of Syria, who continue to suffer under the brutal regime of Bashar Assad, in your prayers for peace and goodwill among men. Ali Ferzat (Arabic: علي فرزات‎; born 22 June 1951, Hama, Syria), is a renowned Syrian political cartoonist. He has published more than 15,000 caricatures between Syrian, Arab and international newspapers.[1] He serves as the head of the Arab Cartoonists' Association. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Ferzat Ali Farzat on December 10 was a recipient along with 4 other individuals involved in the Arab Spring, including Mohamed Bouazizi, to receive the Sakharov Prize "established in December 1988 by the European Parliament as a means to honour individuals or organisations who have dedicated their lives to the defence of human rights and freedom of thought." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakharov_Prize Ali Ferzat remains in Syria and was not permitted to attend the awards ceremony in Paris on December 14, "He sent a video message expressing his grief and sorrow at the number of victims in Syria which 'increases with every minute.'" http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/12354400/eu-parliament-awards-arab-spring-activists/

Tucson Shooting 1 Year Anniversary Approaches - Hold a Candlelight Vigil for the Victims.
January 8th will be the 1 year anniversary of the Tucson shootings - and before we get too lost in the holidays I would like to give you something to think about...Let us pray nothing like that horrible day happens again this Christmas break - please take a stand against gun violence.
Imagine stopping a bullet before it kills a child. Impossible? Not with your help! All across America people are coming together to save lives from preventable gun violence. Will you join them, and the Brady Campaign, as we host a nationwide candlelight vigil to honor victims of gun violence? We all will gather on the same day, Sunday, January 8, 2012. This date marks one year since the Tucson, AZ shootings and we want to remember those victims and survivors along with others across the nation. Click here to find a city or town near you hosting a vigil. Or consider hosting your own small or large event. http://www.bradycampaign.org/toomanyvictims/ http://www.bradycampaign.org/toomanyvictims/get-involved/ http://www.bradycampaign.org/toomanyvictims/local-vigils/ (Arizona especially needs organizers) --------- It often seems as if one of the most unifying glues of the Tea Party and the Republican Party is their opposition to gun control in just about every tangible form. Require an extensive background check, they'll complain, restrict the size of handgun magazines, they'll complain, state you're not sure how an AK-47 variant is appropriate for either hunting or target shooting and so in an attempt to provide you with cartoon resources for this coming holiday season where you are very likely to hear from your less liberal companions that Democrats, liberals, and President Obama want to take your guns away, we say, no, we just want you to start making sense. Boy do they love their individual right to guns at at almost all costs. So please, enjoy the holidays, and enjoy this inoculation to that good old time favorite last defense claim of the right-wing of this country when all your arguments that they're voting against their own economic interests don't work. “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
--------- In 1992, Warren E. Burger, a former chief justice of the United States appointed by President Richard M. Nixon, expressed the prevailing view. “The Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to have firearms at all,” Mr. Burger said in a speech. In a 1991 interview, Mr. Burger called the individual rights view “one of the greatest pieces of fraud — I repeat the word ‘fraud’ — on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.” http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/us/06firearms.html?pagewanted=all Recent Investigation into Illegal Gun Sales "Point, Click, Fire: An Undercover Investigation of Online Gun Sales : http://www.nyc.gov/html/cjc/html/news/gun.shtml Donate to the James Brady Campaign: https://secure2.convio.net/mmm/site/Donation?ACTION=SHOW_DONATION_OPTIONS&CAMPAIGN_ID=1102 Happy Holidays! Please K&R 
(Note to Mods: I believe that the approaching 1 year anniversary is a news event related to guns of national importance and qualifies as "really big news." Thank you for understanding.) |

S. Korea sends condolences to N. Korean people
By the CNN Wire Staff - CNN's Jiyeon Lee, Barbara Starr, Alina Cho and Madison Park contributed to this report. updated 3:39 AM EST, Tue December 20, 2011 (CNN) -- The South Korean government sent its condolences to the people of North Korea following the death of Kim Jong Il, South Korea's unification minister said Tuesday. In a televised press conference, Unification Minister Yoo Woo-ik also said Seoul will not send a government delegation to North Korea. However, the South will allow bereaved family members of the late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and the late Hyundai Group Chairman Chung Mong-hun to visit the North in return for a visit by North Korean delegates to the funerals of the two South Korean figures. In addition, the South Korean government asked church groups to refrain from lighting Christmas trees near the demilitarized zone between the two countries due to the North's mourning period. The Christmas trees have been deemed a symbol of psychological warfare, and North Korea threatened in the past to retaliate if the South lights the trees. Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un, the son and successor of the recently deceased North Korean leader --viewed his father's body in Pyongyang on Tuesday, state-run media said, as the world watched for clues on how the leadership transition will play out in the insular dictatorship. http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/20/world/asia/north-korea-leader/index.html?eref=rss_topstories |
