With less than a week until Election Day, it’s starting to look more and more likely that the GOP will be cast “Back to the Wilderness” by voters. But beware: The last time Republicans were banished, they came back strong, first with their “Contract With America,” then with a scary brand of neoconservatism implanted on the born-again blank slate of George W. Bush. Lord only knows what they might come up with this time.

Just thirteen days until United States citizens face “The Choice” (though early ballots are already in the mail). Have you made yours?

Yes, I’m sorry, but I had to dig into the archive this week. As much as I hate to go with a rerun this close to the election, I’m in the middle of grad school midterms and, well, the history of the Vietnam War trumps everything for a few days. I’ll return to Election 2008 soon, but, in the meantime, enjoy “All Tricks, No Treats” (color version) from 2006; it’s as accurate today as it was then (unless you happen to live on Wall Street).

“That one?”

No, I don’t think John McCain had any racial intent when he oddly referred to Barack Obama as “that one” during last night’s debate. But it was dismissive and a poor choice of words, especially in light of McCain’s nasty anti-Obama ad, “The One,” from earlier this year. In debates, it’s often the little things that stick, and “That one” just might be that thing for this one. My latest toon, “What’s in an Article?,” reflects on the moment.

The economic meltdown continues. This week’s take, “Money Talks,” is the latest in my dollar-bill series.
