Quote of the Day
"Because he had to dress for his speech immediately, he had to purchase an entirely new set of clothes. The campaign credit card used to pay for the clothing was reimbursed in total by the airline, which wrote a check for $952.04 to the congressman on July 20, 2007. The congressman then endorsed the check over to the campaign account on July 20, 2007. Thus, the campaign incurred no expense for the clothing." -- Francis Tagmire, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews, on why Andrews used campaign funds to pay for clothing. A Washington, D.C. watchdog group has filed a complaint against him.

Farmer Ellen
Haha, great cartoon Rob. This Christmas, I am buying my tree from Farmer Ellen, and Im going to have my video camera in case she says she's not selling any.
"I'm not going to tell you this to insult you, but in the end, the McGreeveys, the Corzines, they're all going to be with me...not that they like me, but because they have no choice."
- The Democrats' Puppet Master
What's Under Ellen's Xmas Tree?
$2 million from Essex County Democrats.
Nothing for suburban schools.
Wasteful spending and pork galore.
Watered down ethics bills.
94 Tax increases.
Monetization, etc.
What's Under Jen's Car?
Ellen.
Codey's busy little elves.
Justifiable autocide.
Who are these people?
They don't look like anyone I know.
Looks like Jen received an early X-mas gift...

Old McKarcher had a farm...eyyyi eeyyyi ooh and on this farm she got some tax breaks eeyyyi eeyyi ooohhh...with a christmas tree here and a 15k tax break there....
Put a fork in Jen!
She is finished. Ellen is truly one of the good guys and anyone who says otherwise must be on the GOP's payroll!
What's with Politics NJ?
You've been taken over by the right wing.
Come on Grover
Looks like you'll be getting a christmas tree from Ellen this year
dcdem
If by right wing you mean the correct wing...then maybe politicsnj has gotten it "right" this election cycle. Either way it will be up to the voters and not a bunch of hacks on Tuesday...
Not bad
I like the reference to "oink oink". However, I will say this topic is a bit dated. Other than that this cartoon is very funny.
Wow
Is that Wayne Bryant that Karcher is holding?
Is the artist republican?
Karcher not only is bright, has common sense and knows the facts, and can present them well, but is also a lot more attractive than tornoe's brush.
Grover Cleveland
In case you missed it - "YOUR DEAD"
So it doesn't matter what the HELL you say........

As someone who has been to Camden I believe your right and she seems to be cuddling the little PIG.
Why what a perfect couple.
