If O-Man is placed in a position where he actually has to DO something instead of talk about it with religious fervor, I will be watching with interest at least. There will be a lot of people on both sides of the aisle, so to speak, watching his every move. Let's hope the Gubmint lets the public see, instead of running smoke screens like the Clintons are so good at. As a cartoonist I will no doubt have to use more ink to do work about our new Prez, but at least I can't be accused of being a racist for that. Or will I? Well, it's Guy Fawkes night in the UK, the anniversary of a failed (quite passionate but nearly incompetent) effort to blow up the Houses of Parliament years ago. "Everyone remember the fifth of November," I think it goes. In the 21st Century Guy Fawkes' masks are used for a variety of purposes, most recently to be Anonymous when picketing the vicious Scientology cult. As an American I love the chance to blow stuff up, though I won't be celebrating for Obama's camp tonight. I'll be celebrating the relative liberty of people to, hundreds of years later, celebrate a plot to overthrow a despotic government that acts (erps, acted!) in contempt of its own people. Forget the Catholic thing, it's rather removed from what the celebration is today. Kaboom, folks. SP Goodman * http://www.youtube.com/spgoodman http://www.youtube.com/enturbulata
