No, I can't draw. Not really. For a while I could. Many years ago I taught myself to draw using the book,
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. I hunkered down, followed the lessons step by step, and what do you know? I entered what I can only describe as a meditative state and actually drew things that looked like what I wanted them to look like.
That was a long time ago, and for many years I haven't drawn much of anything. When I do draw, the process isn't always pretty. I have comic strip ideas though, and they must be drawn. I can't promise that they're good ideas, but I'm going to draw them anyway. I tried getting others to draw for me, but that hasn't worked. The advice I've gotten from artists has always been, "draw your own." OK, I am drawing my own. But just remember, all of you people who can draw, but wouldn't draw my goofy ideas, this is your fault. You could have drawn these so that even if they were poorly written, at least they would look good. Perhaps over time, if I continue to fool myself into thinking I have something of value to say, and I work and practice real hard, my drawing skills will once again improve.
Until then, this is the first strip in a multi-strip story. When will the next page be done? Soon, I hope. It's already written. I'm going to start drawing right now.
Read it and weep.

Karl Rove vs. Sandy Berger
One can only assume that
this report on Karl Rove will lead to an "unbiased media" feeding frenzy.
But remember a few months ago when former Clinton Administration National Security Advisor, and advisor to presidential candidate John Kerry, Sandy Berger got into
a bit of mischief over some
pilfered classified documents from the National Archives?
Mr. Berger plead guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on April 1 to stealing classified material from the National Archives, destroying three of the five stolen documents, and lying to federal investigators.
The Rules of Professional Conduct for an attorney in the District of Columbia prohibit a lawyer from committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on trustworthiness; engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, deceit or misrepresentation; and acting in a manner that seriously interferes with the administration of justice.
The stolen documents were copies of highly secret memorandum (possibly with handwritten notes) that were allegedly critical of the Clinton administration’s response to the “Millennium 2000” terror plot to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport.
He was
given a pass. I remember Clinton chuckling over what a absent-minded rascal Sandy Berger was. He didn't mean to abscond with the documents, he just forgot to take them out of his shirt (but not his socks) and return them. It coulda happened to anyone. And the destruction of three of them was, I'm sure, some sort of accident that is quite humorous in retrospect.
So, that said, will Karl Rove be given the same benefit of the doubt that Mr. Berger was given? Or after all these years of being hunted and hounded by the left, will they attempt to go for Rove's throat, whether or not there's any justification?
We already know the answer to that, don't we.
