That's another reason why I like Horsey so much - he's basically the closest editorial cartooning has to a socialite, and he isn't afraid to show it off.

No idea who this person is supposed to be, but anyone who thinks Tim Donnelly should be governor ought to be burned at the stake.
That is Maria Conchita Alonso, a beauty pageant winner or somesuch, who did a terrible commercial for Tim Donnelly. Benson even included the dog! Anyways, you are not allowed to be critical of anyone that supports Lisa Benson's side. That is like a witch-burning.

Oh, and thanks to the magic of the internet, this commercial can be inflicted upon all of you!

She's an actress who was mostly known for stuff in the 80s. I guess she's technically been working since then, but I never recognize when she's in stuff anymore. I had no idea she was a big Republican.

Edit: That commercial says he came to California with 300 dollars in his pocket and started his own business. His biography on ca.gov says he came to California to attend college, then spent five years working for his father's business. I'm sure his father didn't help with his tuition or help him start his business at all, right?

Good lord no! That's a Corbett position.

:ssh: Also it's something everyone's thinking, but it's such a goddamn complicated thing to actually pull off, I mean the distributors and the way it's done now are really stupid and nearly everyone agrees, but they're businesses with workers and how do you deal with putting them all out of a job in one fell swoop? It obviously should be done eventually, but the actual action has to get past the "job killer!" barrier, and as long as the current system is "not that bad" as to really necessitate change, it might be a while before anyone actually pulls the trigger. But right now Corbett's drive to privatize them is being painted by the liquor store workers as "ANTI-UNION" so I could see a democrat candidate supporting them just to look pro-union.

Given that a certain drunk duck is still harping on about New Years predictions, we can safely assume he won't even get started on SOTU cartoons for at least a week.

In the past, but miracles aren't necessary currently because we have a Democratic legislative supermajority and a Democratic governor.

The voters also voluntarily raised taxes via initiative in the last election.

Well Benghazi cartoons and "If you like your ____ you can keep your ____" cartoons are still showing up from time to time and it's 2014, so depending on whether or not the GOP decides to make anything from the SOTU into a catchphrase they could be going for the next few years. It really depends on which specific non-issue they feel like complaining about.

Horsey just seems to really love his career, and that sense of enthusiasm really comes through in a lot of his comics. The guy seems to REALLY love drawing.

Compared to how bitter and jaded a lot of the cartoonists come across as, Horsey's attitude is refreshing.

That, and his art is usually really good, and he makes a good point every now and again.

Basically, they think a bunch of evil democrats gave an evil idiot the reins of power. "If only ~people like him~ weren't so lazy, democrats would have run this country into the ground by now."
