So, the last editorial I read was about the restrictions on guns. The issue at hand was not just about guns in general, but if it was logical to let past criminals who exercised domestic violence to own guns. Some opposed the criminals of having guns because they could hurt victims of domestic violence to more of an extent, possibly kill them. However, others argued that restricition of guns to those criminals will only make them find other weapons of abuse which could prolong domestic violence and lead to traumatizing abuse. Personally, I think guns should have had stricter laws years ago. But, there is some truth to those who argue against the stricter laws, because if the law allows past criminals to obatin guns, than there is nothing that I could do about that. However, there should be more of an effort for change so there could be some kind of elimination of domestic violence.

So this is really exciting, because I love editorials. Now, political ones I am not so familiar with, but fashion ones are awesome so I am just going to assume that political ones are as well. ANYWAY, the editorial I came across today was one about the power of pardoning. The editorial, which was in today's edition of the Washington Post, talked about how Bush only pardoned 189 or so criminals which is low compared to past presidents. Will Obama make the same "mistake" or will he pardon more lucky criminals? Well we won't know for a while but in relaity who cares who and how many people he pardons. I mean I would rather he pardon people based on merit and someone who has a legit case, but if its friends and colleagues it is just kind of stupid. But hey, when you have the power to pardon, use it to the fullest.

ALSO, the amazing blog IAMFashion is ending...how depressing.

Political Cartoon #4

This is no surprise that this cartoon is titled "2009 Predictions" and what's interesting is that I think this politcal cartoon can be interpreted in two ways. One way is that the prediction of 2009 is crazy and that it is not looking good. Or one could say that maybe the prediction is just unpredictable and she is running out because she doesnt know and because the man says "I dont like the look of this" means that he does not like the look of an unknown future. Anyway it is looked at, this a great cartoon because I think it also symbolizes the unifying factor of fear within everybody. Even the craziest of people are afraid. Hey guess what? I am finally up to date! I least I think I am...

Political Cartoon #3

What a perfect way to bring in the New Year...with a hangover! Just kidding...but really this cartoon is titled "New Years Hangover" and despite what you might think is an alcohol hangover is really a "debt hangover." I really like this cartoon because it is so fitting with the times and is creative. Its giving the idea that America is drunk off of debt and the "pain killers" are used to cure the pain of this debt not physical pain. I also like how 2009 is represented by the baby, even though traditional, I think it also symbolizes that with 2009's lack of maturity comes an overwhelming issue that everyone is caught in. Out of most political cartoons this has to be my favorite. Now I don't know what that ax is doing in the picture...

Political Cartoon #2

I love cartoons about the economy because they just make the situation more ridiculous than it already is. So in this cartoon which came out in Decemeber is modeling how the consumers who are shopping for the holidays may help the economy a little bit. Too bad that did not happen. Anyway, I really like how the situation is depicted with the woman's cart catching the economy as of it were an item she is looking for. And saying "I got it" just adds to the idea that consumers were going to save the economy. I think the idea in itself was a little stupid because think about it, if everyone else is involved in this economic let down, than why would shoppers be any different? Maybe in the future...but in no way now! Until the next 5 mins...

Political Cartoon #1

So, finally I update my blog. I was having some issues with the computer and it was just terrible. Anyway, here is my first political cartoon blog after a million years.

So this political cartoon is titled "White Women Can Jump Too" and I just thought it was interesting that they would depict Hilary Clinton this way. I feel like for her of course it would be degrading because it seems as if Obama is helping her gain political status when she obviously had it way before. I guess its just making a play at her selection as the Secretary and that maybe this is Obama helping her back up from her loss back in the summer of '08. However this cartoon may be perceived, I have to admit I do find it a little humorous. Until next time...which will be in like 5 mins.
