For this week's blog, I stumbled across a radical democrat, political cartoon, titled "The Lunatics Take Over The Asylum" by Paul McDonald. This cartoon came out back on December 4, 2000. It depicts George Bush holding a burnt out match in one hand and the world with a fuse, coming out of the top of it, in the other hand. This cartoon is clearly in favor of the Democrat party saying that George Bush will end up blowing up the world sometime during his presidency and that because of this he was the lesser between him and Al Gore. The fuse in the Earth, is a countdown, and says that it will be George Bush who will be the end of not only the United States, but the entire world. Also, the is an expressionless face on George Bush which, to me, means that McDonald thinks that President Bush won't even realize that he lit the fuse of destruction that will end society as we know it. This cartoon also makes it seem like George Bush isn't capable to run our country. This cartoon clearly states that President Bush will do something stupid to annihilate our beloved country and the world.
Here is the link if you wish to see the cartoon

I like you interpretation of his facial expression that he wont realize the damage he will cause. I interpreted it more like a little kid playing with matches. They don't understand the possible damage they can do by playing with matches and its only a matter of time before something bad happens. It just like what McDonald is trying to get across with the fuse that it is only a matter of time before Bush does something bad.
