Annnd we're right back where we left off, with today's entry seeing the light of day three weeks and one day after it was submitted.
Back when this was, y'know, fresh, this could have been easily connected to the then-current budget talks regarding cuts to our military spending. It's a point I've made before, but I just can't help despairing at how it costs so much to defend us from weapons which cost so little.

How's this for mind-boggling: the Post ran this cartoon the day after I submitted it. I literally cannot remember the last time this has happened. It usually takes a few days to a week, or even more. But nope, this time it's as timely as you can get, reacting to the news of Israeli electric car innovator Better Place filing for bankruptcy while it's still quite fresh, even coinciding with an editorial on the subject. Oh happy day!

Yep. Having eight different candidates for President is just fine and dandy--so long as they all march to your tune.

When Russia announced it would be supplying the Syrian government with new anti-ship cruise missiles, I knew exactly what my next cartoon would be about. The very fact that they can claim it's necessary for Assad to have anti-ship missiles in order to fight the Syrian rebels--a fight taking place entirely on land--with a completely straight face, is testimony to... something bad. But it sure does testify.

Caricature of Yair Lapid for The Jerusalem Post
Surprise, everybody! I was unexpectedly approached by the Post to draw them a caricature of Finance Minister Yair Lapid--for pay!!--to illustrate the article crowning him as the Most Influential Jew of the Year in today's Shavuot supplement. Have a gander!

Happy Jerusalem Day, everybody! Just don't celebrate too loudly lest you incur someone's politically correct wrath.

The team appointed by the UN to investigate allegations of chemical weapons usage in Syria, led by led by Swedish arms expert Åke Sellström, has been--surprise, surprise--delayed by the Syrian government from entering the country and is currently cooling its heels in Turkey. Politeness, after all, can only get you so far.

Today's J. Post cartoon
Amir Peretz is only the latest in a long line of Environmental Protection Ministers to issue an urgent call for the relocation of the enormous Haifa Chemicals ammonia plant from Haifa to some less densely populated area, a concern ever since Scuds rained down on us during the Gulf War way back in 1991.
