Good cartoon Mark!

Good cartoon Mark!

My fav Mark, thanks for

My fav Mark, thanks for keeping Dogboy & Mr. Dan coming! Finally, when ya just get tired and fed up with listening to all the ridiculous and bizarre arguments against this health care bill, its great to be able to fall back on good old sarcastic allegory. It seems to bring out all the best responses from those it targets, and even better... its incredibly funny!! Thanks again, your hard work is very much appreciated :-)

Socialism, my ***. The bill

Socialism, my ***. The bill allows even more profits for health organfizations and the drug manufacturers. How I wish what the cartoon says it is was true and that it was true equality for
all citizens without the profit makers being able to pad their pockets even more.

I've actually read the

I've actually read the majority of the bill, it is much worse than socialism, it is forced-purchase of services enforced by the IRS. FU Fiore, I liked you during the Bush era, but it is abundantly apparent you are a partisan hack.

Why is there such objection

Why is there such objection to forced health insurance but not to forced car insurance? Or objections to being forced to pay for the insurance of others (Medicare/Medicaid), or social security, US postal service, farm subsidies?? The list goes on... All of the objection stems from a small minority of 'true believers' of small government, the rest are republican bandwagoners trying to use the politics of the day to regain control of congress. It would be nice if we all started votIng for independent candidates based on the quality of their thoughts rather than their party affilitation and who they power lunch with. That would really mess with the corporate lobbyists--you know, the people that really run our country.

Mr. Fiore, It would be nice

Mr. Fiore,

It would be nice if your cartoons, when embedded, would have some image or still picture making reference to the content of the cartoon. That way, when one posts them, people would be more apt to click on the picture/link and watch it. Currently, there's really no icon that appears when one shares the item, or no icon that bears any relevance to the video.

Thanks.

How ironic, Mark, that in

How ironic, Mark, that in your current Dogboy and Mr. Dan cartoon about the pathetic fraud that is the Obama "health care bill" you have Mr. Dan referring to abortion, but fail to followup with an observation of the reality that Obama cynically condemned the poor of this nation to back-alley / coat-hanger-weilding (figuratively and in some cases literally) abortionists, with the injury, mutillation, and in some cases death that is entailed by that.

As a physician, I don't believe anyone should be allowed to receive medical training, or any MD or RN or hospital administrator should be allowed to practice medicine, if they refuse to provide such critical services as termination of a pregnancy. If you are a hypocritical moralist or self-righteous religious nut, you should not be in the medical field.

Such refusal... as now codified by law in the "health bill"... is comparable to refusing to provide medical care to a person of a given race, as far as I am concerned.

The rich continue to have full and free access to critical termination of pregnacy, but the poor are barred such, by the current health care bill.

I have all my adult life called for FREE (of charge) ABORTION to be widely and EASILY available ON DEMAND!

As a doctor, do you provide free/sliding-scale services?
I hope so.
We need more people living lives of principle.

So, even if a physician believes an abortion is tantamount to infanticide, they should grin and bear it?

> ...is comparable to refusing to provide medical care to a person of a given race, as far as I am concerned.

Heaven forbid you ever swap in 'age' for 'race' and thus come to an understanding of the other side of the argument.

> ...abortionists, with the injury, mutillation, and in some cases death that is entailed by that.

Have you ever considered that, facing a difficult search for a hack abortionist rather than a quick walk over to smilin' Dr. Goodman's office, a woman gripped by panic at the recent discovery of her pregnancy just might be more likely to carry the child to term?

That she just might look a little bit harder at her family, her friends, her community outreach groups, her finances, child support services, adoption services?

Thanks for the musical score.

It's funny that you show

It's funny that you show Michael Moore in this cartoon on the "Death Panel" with Obama and Pelosi. Moore has actually spoken out about his dislike for this HCR bill.
