The 1% "free at last, free at last ... thank the American plutocracy ... we are free at last" ...

Free to do to the 99% whatever they want to do.

That is what good or bad voting has come to I guess.

... CambridgeKnitter said on 10/12/2011 @ 7:26 am PT...

There's a great Wasserman cartoon on Republican voter suppression in today's Boston Globe: http://tinyurl.com/3dsmelz.

COMMENT #3 [Permalink]
... zapkitty the comic critic said on 10/12/2011 @ 3:15 pm PT...

Nitpicking but... I do think that the cartoon should have specified that the banksters should be in jail for the (massive, widespread
and extremely blatant) fraud that they committed that lead to the collapse.

A small change in text but one that would show that the reason for jailing the assholes has nothing to do with "class warfare" against the rich...
