Because Weeping Yellow Men are like the Highlander: In the end, there can only be one.
To make the cut this week, you had to do more than say the Pope seems like a nice guy, or quote Yogi Berra.
But we're not too proud around here to include anything that ridicules Scott Walker's God-ordained withdrawal from the 2016 race, or anything that imagines the top brass of Volkswagen spending time in the slammer, or anything that mentions what a moral leper the Tom Cruise wannabe who legally ratcheted up the price of an HIV drug by 5000% because, well . . . he could . . . is, and what a poster child he is for the kind sociopathic capitalism that that nice Pope fellow seemed to be taking exception to.

Rob Rogers,

Ann Telnaes celebrates
the bloody irony of a Saudi Arabian official installed as the new
head of the UN Human Rights Coalition. Yes, that Saudi Arabia:
you know – our
partners in peace.
Mark Fiore reaches
his limits, beatification-wise.

(well, famously
to me and a couple of my friends) sang "Atsa Matta For You"

I'd almost forgotten that the song reappeared six years later in
"Bedeviled Rabbit," drected by Robert McKimson (taking a
break from his Foghorn Leghorn bits) from a story by Tedd Pierce,
with all voices by Portland's Own Mel Blanc and musical direction by
Milt Franklyn (who for years was second banana to Carl Stalling of
the p3 pantheon of
gods. Watch
"Bedeviled Rabbit" at DailyMotion.

Ex-Oregonian Jack Ohman gets his
Leslie Gore on.
Maybe, Possibly Ex-Oregonian Jen
Sorensen reviews what
feminists can learn from Carly Fiorino. Astonishly, it takes four
panels. But it's ridicule, so perhaps it's not surprising. If it was
serious, it wouldn't take any panels at all.
Matt Bors catalogues what's
missing from the GOP presidential primary field.
Jesse Springer questions
Oregon's priorities. And why not?
