Flat
Wrong
 Is
it a surprise to anyone that the coal-and-gas
empire commanded by the noxious Koch brothers is
currently waging war on the renewables
industry? For example, just recently the American
Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), bunk-buddies
of the Koch boys, steamrolled legislation
through the Oklahoma legislature that slaps a
big fat tax on anyone erecting
new solar panels or wind turbines.
One gets the feeling that if ALEC or the Koch
brothers had existed during man's earliest days
they would have
slapped a tax on cutting trees as
they
couldn't
make their usurious nut on fire alone.

Know Your Millionaire
 In
my last Raging Pencils cartoon I warned against
voting for millionaires. So who appeared on my
radar today? None other than Mark Jacobs, former
Reliant Energy CEO and candidate for the
U.S. Senate seat in Iowa. He's never held nor run
for public office before which is probably why
he's already broken state records for personal
spending on a
campaign, a whopping $1.65 million. To you and
me that amount would be like winning the lottery
but
to this guy it's just the price of polishing his
huge, throbbing ego trip.
You
might suspect that he's trying to buy the Senate
seat, and he
is. You
don't spend that kind of money just to vote to
repeal Obamacare over and over while you wait for
gay prostitutes and caviar to be delivered to your
office.
As
for his real political agenda, who knows, so enjoy
your
expensive
dog-and-pony
show, Iowans.
Fortunately, Iowans already have an excellent candidate
for Senate in Democrat Bruce
Braley.

And, just because there's not enough
visual distractions on our nation's highways and
byways, I just created
this sticker to give the poor bastard
stuck in traffic behind you something to ponder.
If you're as enthused as I hope you are you can purchase
a copy for yourself on
good old Zazzle.
