Billing Abe - June 28, 2004

from the 2004 Summer Daily Nebraskan

Dick Cheney - June 21, 2004

from the Summer 2004 Daily Nebraskan.

Dick Cheney came to Lincoln, his childhood hometown, for a 1st Congressional District fundraiser. He spoke (as he still does) about the link between Iraq and 9/11. This was about a week after the 9/11 Commission revealed that they could find no link between Iraq and 9/11.

rejected cartoon from the Omaha City Weekly

That was the proverbial straw that broke an already battered camel-back, ending my career with the City Weekly. I still like this cartoon.

From the San Diego Reader
