Cartoonists have a field day with the economy
Political cartoonists are having a field day with the souring economy. Two that ran in today's paper are particularly sad, but true. Somehow that makes them funny!
In the first one by Larry Wright two young men are walking next two each other. One is dressed like a bellhop and has a fist of cash. He says to his friend "The good news is the government raised the minimum wage...the bad news is current economic forecasts show the minimum wage will soon be the highest income tax bracket."
In the second cartoon by Mike Lester two female tourists are waiting in line. One says to the other "So, I fill up the Stomper and - OH-MY-GAWD! Can you even be-LIEVE the price of a gallon of GAS?! And don't even TALk to me about MILK!!" Meanwhile, she is forking over money to buy a drink from a stand that says "Drink H2-oh. It's Wet!"
The Daily News' own Patrick O'Connor has this take on President Bush reassuring the American public that we will all be A-okay.
