Kid Creates Pet Food Bank 4 Economic Crisis

From Denny: This has to be one proud mother of this nine-year-old boy named Zach Wilson in Central Florida whose passion to help animals created this animal food bank! This year of 2009 has been a troubled one for Americans, losing jobs, losing homes and forced to lose their pets because they can no longer afford to feed them. Tough choices all around.

Zach saw on the news that over 53,000 people in Florida had lost their homes this year and abandoned their pets as a result of job and home losses. So, he decided maybe people would keep their pets if they had help feeding them. It turned out to be a fabulous idea, well embraced by the charitable givers and those in need in his area. His idea has expanded across the nation to help other pets about to be abandoned by their desperate owners. Take a look:

Wall Street Excess, Climate Change: Editorial Cartoons 19 Dec 2009

From Denny: Both the American people and the cartoonists are equally disgusted with the politicians over getting us affordable smart health care and the foolish squabbling at the climate change conference. And this is why when there is a huge global disaster it will be "every man for himself."

You sure can't count on all those other self-protective egos like China to get focused upon physical survival and their fellow humanity's as well. Then there are the developing countries insanely expecting the developed countries and America to single-handedly pay for everything for them to help with their dirty emissions. We can't pay for ourselves right now; how are we to pay for them too?

The cartoonists continue to batter away at Prez Obama's Peace Prize incongruity of being at War yet recognized for Peace. Palin, her ridiculous self, has, for now, thankfully, evaporated off the national stage.

Take a look at this week's cartoonist offerings:

Health care reform shell game because nobody knows what's in the bill from moment to moment:

Realist Politicians Vs. Crazies Editorial Cartoons 12 Dec 2009

From Denny: Looks like this week most cartoonists panned Prez Obama's Peace Prize award as deserving. There are an assortment of opinions on that subject represented here; I panned on the nasty ones that were just Republican red meat for the crazied supporters. My favorite one is the telemarketer cartoon where even Obama doesn't believe the caller.

The public continues to grow weary of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, rolling our eyes and wondering if it's worth it any more. This war is shaping up too much like the Cold War where everyone is paranoid and excessively aggressive, basically accomplishing just about nothing of significance, short of too much screaming, yelling and political assassinations of whomever is the terrorist-anarchist-evildoer Flavor of the Month.

It took a bad economy of supporting too many satellite countries' economies that finally took down the old U.S.S.R. Of course, the Republicans have re-written many American history books with the help of disgraced former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, to convince everyone that actually it was President Reagan who ordered the Russians to "tear down this wall" and so they immediately complied. There are actually people gullible enough to believe such simplistic arrogance...

The last two holiday cartoons say it all during the holiday season: how important it is to work toward world Peace, responding smartly to global warming and get some real health care reform no matter how many annoying Republicans we have to step over to get to the goal. :)

Obama Honors Kennedy Center Honorees like: The Boss

From Denny: The lighter more fun side of getting to be President... you get to be entertained and hob nob with Hollywood's, rock n roll's, opera's and jazz's best known entertainers. Cool job!

From Denny: This week at least I loaded the stories I wanted to post about, then finally got the time this weekend to finish writing and post them!

Dennys Global Politics:
Assassins Security Recipe For Disaster: Obama State Dinner - Then the worst scenario of all: A well-trained or motivated assassin could have cleaned house on the top tier of our government - President, Vice President, Speaker of the House and Chief of Staff. That would have left us with Senator Pro-tem, Senator Byrd from West Virginia to run the country, an aging 90 years plus man in poor health.

Obamas Unwelcome Afghan Strategy, Reactions and a Lame Congress - Republicans complained about Obama not wanting to continue the war indefinitely while Democrats worry about the cost of a protracted war, circulating the lame idea of a war tax to fund the recent surge on an already burdened depressed economy.

Prez Obama Lays Out Bleak New Afghanistan Strategy - "And Karzai is a sorry excuse for what passes for good government. What started out with great promise years ago has become a farce. He now looks like a bejeweled weasel sitting on a pile of gold: American foreign aid money."

Pakistan Unknown Heroes Work to Defend Country Against Taliban

Iran Jails Irani-American Woman Protesting Elections - An Iranian-American female grad student went to Iran to study and document women's issues in Iran. That didn't sit well with the local government soon after she arrived and they threw her into jail.
