Are the Republicans listening to America? Don’t bet your Medicare on it.
Did you see how arrogant those congressmen were, telling Americans — their constituents — to stuff it?

Sometimes the only bastion of sanity on the editorial pages is the editorial cartoon. David Horsey at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has good one’s all the time, and especially over the past few weeks of the Congressional recess.
But, did the P-I actually print* this one?

Cartoon by David Horsey, August 22, 2009, Seattle Post-Intelligencer (on-line); Copyright to Seattle P-I and David Horsey.
* Well, of course they didn’t actually print it . . . publish? post? release?
Special tip of the old scrub brush to Blue Ollie, who reposted this cartoon and thereby preserved the image.

Come on in, the water's fine. Come often: Cleanliness is next to godliness.

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.
