Political satire/carttons
I just checked out the MSNBC website. They showed political cartoons from around the country that spanned the course of the past week. It was funny, but at the same time a sad social commentary on our country. Whether it was talking about sub prime lending practices that destroyed the housing market and made many homeowners have their houses foreclosed or how Bush reacted much quicker to the California fire crisis then he did to hurricane Katrina it was deeply disturbing all the same. I strongly urge everyone to look at them. It will only take five minutes of your time and it gives a great sense of what is really going on in todays world while also providing some dark humor. So if you read them, let me know what you think because I find it just fascinating in its breadth of content and its messages.

yes, what a social commentary, but seriously do not use that phrase again, seriously, you can only use it for describing to kill a mockingbird and thats it. Otherwise, these political cartoons are in my opinion the best paraphrasing of our society, nothing else can show you both sides of an issue and its gravity with a sense of humor in a nutshell like these cartoons can.
