Some of you have been wondering why I haven’t posted any new work lately, well it’s not that I’m not working on anything. My secret themed exhibit is going well. I have three paintings done and have started on the 4th.

I am still doing commission work though and might have an exciting project coming up, that I will graciously share with all of you.

(thanks to Larry Aerosmith for the Cartoon)

Sorry, the liberal media does not exist in Sioux Falls or South Dakota for that matter. Sure there are a few left-leaning reporters at our daily paper, but they are hardly a liberal rag. They constantly cave to money and the conservatives.

The forums are mostly made up of vitriolic neo-cons that spew more lies and hate then one can stand, and when you give them a little taste of their own medicine they cry to the moderator and have you booted off.

Good riddance.

Their only gun for hire editorial cartoonist is misinformed at best, and has no real grasp of issues facing South Dakota. He is a blind conservative, because the Bible tells him to be one. He likes to draw dogs and rocks.

But the grand daddy of them all is the secret magazine they distribute to ONLY the richest households in Sioux Falls. That’s right, our local newspaper distributes a high society magazine to approximately 7,000 residences in SF. That means only about 5% of the community is getting this magazine. No big deal, if you are in that kind of business, but isn’t it a bit hypocritical of a news organization that says it files lawsuits against the state because it is concerned about the rights of the ‘people’?

Just what ‘people’ are they talking about? It sure as F‘CK isn’t me.

I’m not saying I’m for or against hiring new police officers. I guess if the need is there, it is a no-brainer, hire more and don’t worry about the funding. Isn’t public safety one of our number one concerns as taxpayers?

What makes Munson’s veto so ironic is his lame excuse that the money isn’t there. Really, last I checked we are throwing away half a million on pretty new windows for the Pavilion so we can save $19,000 a year in energy costs (a fictitious number).

Sure the city should take care of the property it owns, but if you do a quick inspection of the Pavilion’s exterior, you will see less then 10 windows have been boarded up.

Doesn’t it seem we should fix what we need to and spend the rest of that money on public safety?

Our Mayor and City council need to get a clue.

Larry’s back and more brutal then ever!

 

 

 

THE ‘OTHER’ cartoonist in town has been deleting my comments on his site, so in case he wants to delete this one I left, I thought I would post it here. Never thought an editorial cartoonist would believe in censorship, but hey, we do live in SD, anything is possible.

I disagree with Marion rounds 99.9% of the time, but I applaud him this time for saying yes to economic development in SD and ignoring the theocrats who are trying to hijack our state and country.

Rounds puts money and power above everything else, it has been obvious for a long time.

BTW, Rove was the mastermind behind the churchies supporting BUSH. Isn’t it ironic an agnostic organized that? Funny.
