You know that dream you have where you wake up (in your dream) and realize that today is the final exam for a particular class that you never attended because you could never find the classroom in all the ten weeks you wandered the university…
Good evening, Netizens... Thus far, I know of only one of the purported half-dozen people who attended last night's first showing of the Police Ombudsman candidates, and the comments of this person regarding the process were not all that complimentary either. In fact, I haven't…
Good morning, Netizens... The North Koreans have successfully launched a new type of missile overnight according to the Associated Press. The North fired the missile from its Musudan-ni launch site on the east coast, a South Korean government official said. He spoke on condition of…
Good morning, Netizens... North Korea has created world enmity and discontent with its actions the last few days, from launching 5 test missiles and ostensibly exploding an underground nuclear device. As if to add insult to injury, this morning North Korea threatened to launch military…
Good morning, Netizens... I am wandering a bit afield here for today's quote of the day, as I could not help but wonder how it would sit with each of you. "I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did, at 22, (because) I…
Good morning, Netizens...In this morning's news on KREM-2 TV while the voice-over droned on and on about the missile testing of North Korea they sat there with a picture of a nuclear bomb, the mushroom cloud plainly visible on-screen. Given that North Korea also did…
Good morning, Netizens... Much like Simon Cowell, the first time I heard Scottish singer Susan Boyle perform on Britain's Got Talent, I sat there with my mouth gaping wide open because it was one of the biggest surprises ever. This frumpish, somewhat dowdy woman from…
Good morning, Netizens...I receive a lot of e-mail from this source, and although he is barred from posting live, occasionally he writes so eloquently, so very much from the heart, that I cannot help myself but post his messages. Sitting in front of the open…
Good morning, Netizens... In a Seattle police case gone tragically wrong on May 10, Christopher Harris, a 29 year-old restaurant worker still is in a coma in Seattle after police mistakenly pushed him head-first into a wall outside a theater. The entire event was caught…
Good morning, Netizens... Despite the fact we now have our first Black American as President, and despite all the warm, fuzzy feelings that members of various factions in this country sought to engender in all of us during the election campaign and resulting inauguration, my…
Good morning, Netizens... I love the way where occasionally David Horsey takes us down a side road, often with unpredictable results, and still makes his point. The Gaia Theory was first formulated in the 1960's by a research scientist who was working for NASA named…
Good evening, Netizens... When the dreams died, a group of us stood just outside the city limits, watching the skies expectantly as if suddenly everything would be whole again, but in the steadfast silence, which was all that was left of it after the Change,…
Good evening Netizens... From the depths of the rather long-winded discussion about the Ombudsman, I heard a recurring theme come wafting down the elevator shaft deep in the basement of Spokane where I often spend hours and hours hopefully peering upward toward the street grate…
Goodness sake, Netizens... Oh, don't get me started on Nancy Pelosi. Today David Horsey takes on Nancy Pelosi, and this time it is her on the table to be tortured into telling the truth, if you believe certain conservative Republicans. On the other hand, Democrats…
Good morning, Netizens... David Horsey occasionally errs or otherwise make mistakes, and in today's cartoon he understated the obvious. Our national economy is not a truck wreck. It is a train wreck, one that has reached across not only our entire country, but has impacted…

It’s that time of year again – the bi-annual, trek through the quagmire of endless seas of car parts event in Monroe, Washington. You remember that my Mechanic Man gave ME a cart that I drag along with me, through miles and miles and MILES…
Good morning, Netizens... In his prologue to his column, which typically accompanies his cartoons, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's David Horsey states in part that “Our descent into torture as policy has compromised our founding vision. We, today, have become too Roman.” He then cites a poll…
Good morning, Netizens... Looking over the news this morning, I could not help but become aware of two females who, in their own respective ways, somehow managed to grab the golden spot atop the news wires since Friday. The first, a horse named Rachel Alexandra…
Good morning, Netizens... Can we agree to terms that health care, such as most of us know it to be these days, is a swamp? It is infested with all manner of dangerous creatures, and one can lose their life trying to save their life.…
Good morning, Netizens... Having been an avid fan of John Steinbeck's writing for decades, when I first glanced at this picture this morning, my mind warped back to Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and the Joad family fleeing the Dust Bowl for the promise(s) of…
Good morning, Netizens... One of my favorite slogans, particularly if the day isn't getting itself properly attired and ready for another prosperous business day is, “It's another wonderful day in Paradise”, typically spoken with a leer on my face, a mild-mannered form of non-verbal punctuation…
Good morning, Netizens... There are some David Horsey cartoons that hit far too close to home for personal comfort and this is one of them. While it is true, I have been on a strict weight-loss diet for some time, I recently looked at one…
