Today's jpost.com cartoon

A theoretical mega-party combining all the country's top center-left politicians has been bandied about in the media recently, despite the ridiculously slim chances of this ever happening (and by "top politicians", I mean a failed ex-prime minister who has already been indicted and still on trial for other stuff, a failed ex-Kadima leader who accomplished nothing and isn't currently in the Knesset, a failed current Kadima leader who's leading his party down to the threshold level in the next elections, and a completely politically inexperienced journalist/screenwriter). When Likud MK Tzipi Hotovely dismissed the idea as "science fiction", a terrifying idea was hatched in my mind:
the party that critics are calling the smash sci fi hit of the decade teflon man nothing sticks to me bleak whiner evrythings wrong and its bibis fault huh bore god of blunder vot for me im a journalist corporal israel the center lefters coming soon to an election near you avengers parody satire iron man black widow thor captain america
Behold! Ehud Olmert as the man with more closed criminal investigations against him than any other Israeli politician! Tzipi Livni as the super-pessimist who blames Binyamin Netanyahu for everything! Shaul Mofaz as the unaccomplished political laughingstock! And Yair Lapid as the dogged nice guy completely out of his depth! Together, they are the CENTER-LEFTERS. And I am not even sorry

Today's J. Post cartoon

angry rattlesnake muslim outrage skulls bones afghanistan libya if we stay absolutely still and dont make any loud noises maybe itll leave us alone charlie hebdo yoohoo hey ugly over here the innocence of muslims video muhammad cartoons
With Muslim riots at a fever pitch thanks to the dissemination by persons unknown of The Muhammad Video and several Westerners already dead, French newspaper Charlie Hebdo (a leftist satirical weekly) decided it would be a good time to put a cartoon of His Prophetiness on the front cover. I admire their courage, if not their intelligence. (Apparently they're unfazed by what happened the last time they published a Muhammad cartoon.)
