Cartoons: America and Immigration - 17 July 2010

*** Check out the latest from the nation's cartoonists with links to more cartoon posts from this week!





Found this funny photo over at a bizarro blog from the loony tunes Tea Party crowd


From Denny: Illegal immigration is a hot button issue with the border states. They are overrun with Mexican drug cartels who are so violent they carry their gun fights across the American border. The drug cartels find it "fashionable" to kidnap and kill Americans now. They put out kill contracts on American police officers. It's insane.

Caught up in the middle are the Mexican poor who scrambled across the border years ago, have worked quietly in America, and didn't cause any trouble. They are also under paid, without health insurance, living in fear of being deported. Somehow, America's lawmakers have to get serious about weeding out the regular people from the one million man army drug gangs who continue to plague police here and in Mexico.

At some point, those who have been in America as long as several years need some kind of path to citizenship so they can raise their heads and come out of the shadows. Living in fear is no way to live. Not for them or for American citizens plagued by drug cartels moving into America, thinking they can establish themselves as easily here as they have in Mexico.

Photography and Poetry: Release Your Dreams and Spring into Life

*** Enjoy some great art photography and a poem of inspiration.




Are there some days when you wonder which way is up in your life? :)






Are there some days when you feel like you are traveling a maze - and you don't know where the exit sign is located?






Do you have those days when you put forth a whole lot of effort just to break through to the surface?






Do you experience those times when you feel all entangled in life?






Do you ever watch the clock at work and then feel like dragging it off stage?






Do ever wonder if your pets are showing off to their friends by making you perform and do tricks?






Take a little time today and let your dreams out of their cages and set them free to soar!






Rejoice! It's Spring, the time of Hope and Renewal. Take time to cultivate the best of you...

Funny Comic Betty White Gets Her Own Calendar

*** Check out what comic Betty White is doing now! The woman is on the move!




From Denny: Actress Betty White has been in show business for longer than most of us have been alive yet she continues to amaze everyone who sees her. She is advancing to age 89 this year but somehow she just doesn't age. A great sense of humor and her dazzling smile and excellent timing with a ready rapier wit have made her popular with yet a new generation of admirers.

She thrived on Saturday Night Live where she made several appearances. White holds the record for the oldest person to host the show. Betty hosted the show after a big push from groups on facebook where she was a huge success.

Betty has yet another show in which she co-stars, called "Hot In Cleveland" which airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and 9 p.m. Central.

Today she is totally the "It Girl" status because her latest endeavor is that she is sporting her own calendar. Rush right out and purchase one for 2011. The calendar is supposed to include some lovely beefcake-type shirtless men posing alongside her just to keep things spicy. Some of the photos are archival while others pose her with animal friends since she is quite the animal lover.

Betty White serves as a trustee for the Morris Animal Foundation and it is to this foundation that her royalties for the calendar will go. The Betty White Calendar costs $12.99 and will go on sale in September 2010. I predict a huge sell out and major re-printings! :)
