CARTOON: ‘Roaches Are Cuter’

From cartoonist Stephen Bowers on “Roaches Are Cuter,” climate change and the national debt, and the White House’s chronic roach problem.

Roaches and excuses are a lot alike. If you aren’t careful, you can suddenly have a monstrous infestation by both. I know. I was a college kid once. You would not have believed some of my roommates. (You thought I was talking about me, didn’t you? For shame.) As a nation we are now suffering through our seventh year of infestation at 1600 Pennsylvania. It’s awful. The place is full of vermin. Excuses innumerable. Muslim terrorist sympathizers and apologists in every nook and corner. There aren’t enough pointy-toed shoes to get ’em all if we started tomorrow.

And now the Apologist-For-Terror-in-Chief has committed to sending big bucks to nations who are all-in on the Climate Scam thing. The national debt is around 18 trillion. And we are handing cash we don’t have to scammers. The debt is a far more immediate and dangerous threat than the pollution in China. Or from the volcano in Iceland … or anywhere. Which future world do you prefer for your grandchildren? A world awash in volcanic ash (maybe) or a world without America? One of those worlds will work. But, of course, if your grandkids only know a world without freedom, they won’t miss it. Present-day tyranny wouldn’t look so bad to those oppressed by it … if there were no America for contrast.

Footnote/ChubbyAnklenote: Now we are faced with the possibility of a replacement to the current Roach-in-Chief by another version of roach. But the only real distinction is the gender. A roach is still a roach. Pastel Piano-Legged Pant Suits may look a little different, but the substantive stuff is the same.
