The return of W

Just when you thought it was safe to plan for Father’s Day, Cej disappoints dads everywhere with the return of the shocking and all too true (if parodied) comic about America’s greatest president.

John Constantine, Hellblazer: Scab – Peter Milligan

scab

The amoral, black magician Constantine’s new relationship is strained when his body is covered in a magical rash. No, there is no message of practicing safe sex here, although it might have made for a better story. Instead, the situation revolves around a union organizer who sells out and is likewise infected. Milligan attempts to …

But I’m Stimulating the Economy

My credit card number has been stolen. Third time in six weeks! What really makes me mad is that the crooks are having better times than I am.

Rework – Jason Fried and David Hansson

Full disclosure: I actually grabbed this because I thought it said Refwork which is a citation computer program and wanted to know more about it. Still, I was glad to learn the authors’ views on how business can be productive, profitable, and enjoyable, without being destructive to oneself and others. However, although the practices described …

Your Guide to the Budget

Click to enlarge. With all the talk of a government shutdown, you may be confused as to why tax breaks for millionaires are good for the economy, while funding the services necessary for a functioning society is bad. The answer is: you get what you pay for. And by that I mean, if you can …

Slick

Click to enlarge. I guess I’m not real worried about the cost of the clean up to BP. At $40 million a day in profit, they can afford to employ many of the out-of-work people. Just using Tony Hayward’s salary ($4.7 m/yr), BP could hire a couple hundred people for a year. Obviously, money alone …

Your Guide to the Budget

click to enlarge. I don’t understand how the Republicans have any credibility when it comes to the budget. They label themselves as fiscally responsible, but history belies that claim. (And, yes, for fairness and balance, many Dems are also bad.) As with my last cartoon, it is ridiculous for people who ignored deficits under Bush …

RIP United States of America

constitution

Yesterday marked the death of the proud experiment to have a government in which people attempted to form a more perfect Union. It was replaced by a group of corporations. I could trace the illness that led to this demise and give a biography of all the wondrous (and, granted, sometime not so wonderful, whether …

John Jay College is finally giving me business cards! I feel like a real employee. (Yes, the cards have my name on them.)

METRO’s Personal Career Strategic Plan

I attended METRO‘s workshop on developing a career strategic plan, by Susan DiMattia, last night. She gave some good advice on how to be prepared for downturns and what steps might help you pull out of them. METRO supposably has many good events like this but I can only go to the free ones. It …

Just So We’re Clear…

click to enlarge I can’t tell you how safe it makes me feel to know that The People Who Know Better understand that bailing out financially illiterate schmucks would ruin the economy, but bailing out people who really ought to have seen this coming is the right thing to do. Hey it’s only money, right? …
