And, in the US, the miracle of democracy will be if there are any non-Republican voters left by November on the voter rolls in states with GOP governors and/or legislatures.
Of course, fair is fair: The fewer voters are left on the rolls, the less that will have to be spent to buy each vote in post-Citizens United America. Doesn't anyone think about the anonymous millionaires situation anymore?
Today's toons were all that were left after Republican operatives purged the rest from the week's pages at McClatchyDC.com, Slate, Time, About.com, and Daryl Cagle:

Taiwan's Next Media Animation goes where even the movie's own studio hasn't been willing to go yet: They've created a trailer for the upcoming movie - - already hailed as a “trash masterpiece” -- staring Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack, and in a scene that will likely haunt her for the rest of her career as her own personal “No more wire coat-hangers!” moment, Nicole Kidman. (Cusack? Cusack? I like Cusack. What's he doing in this pig's breakfast?)
Dr. Seuss goes political: We've looked at some of the WWII animated training films that Theodore Seuss Geisel collaborated on with legendary animator Chuck Jones. But we haven't yet looked at some of the very, very strange political cartoons that Seuss/Geisel created during the war -- until now.
Before there was The Far Side or the Neighborhood, there was Herman, whose creator, Jim Unger, died this week.

Tom the Dancing Bug traces the history of evolution of “evolution,” or something like that.
