That may be true now, but it will change abruptly in the near future. Each pixel of my cartoons has a unique hand carved subliminal message. As my cartoons gain a wider audience, critical mass will be reached. At that point, I'll publish a cartoon with the master pixel, and BAM, I'll own the world. I will be selling off parts of New Jersey later that day, so if you want to own a superfund site at a bargain price, get your bids in early. @CDub I'll take some of that free peace! I've saved up enough nothing through the years, I'll take two peaces. @CW I certainly enjoy the cartoons, whoever draws them is a friggin' genius. I strongly recommend you triple his wages immediately. [ Let's see ... three times zero ..um.. carry the r ..um.. ] Better make that double the wages, don't want to end up in a bad tax bracket. Thanks for the compliments, sincerely appreciated. @Michale

Personally, I thought this one was both funny and thought-provoking, the hallmark of a good political cartoon. Sorry for interrupting the comment thread, but I thought the addition of the visual cartoon really added something to this story. What did you all think? Remember, this is "Multimedia Week" on ChrisWeigant.com, and that this is a new experiment for me, so let me know if it "works" for you!

IMAGINE by John Lennon

It's a beautiful dream.. But when one chases dreams to the exclusion of reality, one ceases to exist...

I too, am happy for the min wage increase. It's another one of those many many issues that I am completely against the GOP and the administration on...

Aren't you glad for the min wage folks that they're making inroads towards the American dream? I am. At this rate, they'll reach poverty status soon. I yi yi, so off topic.

I mean, think about it. If nobody spent a minute or a dime attacking anyone else ... what does that cost? Nothing. No death, no fear, peace for all at no cost ever. I'm not suggesting you should not be prepared to defend yourself, I'm just suggesting that if no-one ever attacks, your preparation cost more than it was worth. Support free peace ... NEVER attack. How about peace at no cost?

Win/lose in my mind. The only war that will ever bring peace will be total destruction ... we don't need it.
