Cox & Forkum


Newly added to the blogroll is the brand spanking new site of the egg-cellent political cartoonists, Cox & Forkum.

Here's a sample of their stuff...

a Cox & Forkum cartoon

It's titled, "What's the Rush?"

UPDATE: I found a report that I thought made fitting accompaniment to this cartoon. This is from a Labour leftwing MP... "Ms Clwyd, MP for Cynon Valley, told of an under-nourished university teacher who had given birth in prison and begged guards for milk to feed her child. The guards refused and the baby died.

"For three days she held that baby in her arms and would not give the body up. After three days due to the 60-degree heat, the body of course started to smell, and [the woman] was taken away and killed."

She also told of a 15-year-old boy tortured and crucified, and pinned against the prison window. When he begged for water a prisoner who came to his aid was beaten up.

She found many refugees had been ethnically cleansed for being Kurds.

"That's the reality of Saddam's Iraq," she said. "When I hear people calling for more time, I say, who is going to speak up for those victims? Who is to help the victims of Saddam's regime unless we do it?"

She said the regime should be indicted for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and it was her great regret that Britain had not led the way to regime change in Iraq when it had the chance during the first Gulf war."
