a new era of transparency in the sense that .. it’s not ? I wonder what Bradley Manning would think of the US government saying it’s commited to ‘transparency’ ?
referencing Arizona governor Jan Brewer ‘ambushing’ Obama at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport this week ..
I love political cartoons. They’re funny, sly and subversive. They question authority, draw attention to corruption and highlight social ills. A good cartoon cuts through all of the bullshit straight to the heart of an issue. The right image can be be more effective than the longest, wordiest rant. Its therefore a form that's ideally suited to our attention deficit age. They're irreverent and poke fun at our rulers, of course, but our political system is pretty much surreal comedy anyway. I don't own these images but I enjoy them. I hope you do too .. Ellie.
