It’s apparent that all of the Monsanto endeavors I chose to highlight here, rode the same wave of public opinion. In regards to nuclear weapons, DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange and aspartame the talking point was that each was beneficial in some way to America/Americans. It wasn’t until time (life’s best teacher) taught us that these were all highly toxic and deadly endeavors with the same two outcomes. People got sick/died and Monsanto got rich.
I am confident that GMOs will (eventually) follow suit.
Regarding why Monsanto would falsify cancer research which delayed the ban of PCB’s for years–Monsanto’s PCB monopoly had been netting them $22 million dollars a year. This is a chemical company making decisions to increase profit, not “help the world” or “feed the world” or “help farmers” or “help communities” or “be sustainable” or…

Success is California should portend success across the rest of the country. We could be the next France…or Hungary.

It is confusing to me how a large group of Republicans can be so vehemently pro-life yet so anti the environment. Either these people don’t understand that protecting the environment from major polluters and pollutants keeps all life (humans included) free of unnecessary toxins and carcinogens (SEE LINKS BELOW), or as the bumper stickers clearly state, they simply prefer the unborn.
If you are one of these mind-boggling Republicans, remember these toxins and carcinogens get into the mother and have an immediate and drastic effect on fetuses. If anything, protect the earth from harmful toxins for the fetuses. You won’t have to call yourselves “environmentalists”, call yourselves “Fetus Purifiers”, or something of the like…I’m sure you’re quite clever.
By the way, there are even Republicans environmentalists. You can join them (or him).
It’s never too late to stop cutting off your nose to ensure the major polluting industries that back your politician keep making insane profits (sharing none of the gains yet all of the “unforeseen” losses) while making us sick. I think that’s how the saying goes…

I don’t see my brother-in-law, Bob too often. We disagree on just about every major thing two people could disagree on. However, we love each other and enjoy one another’s company. So even though Bob likes to provoke (much like his hero Glenn Beck) sometimes it’s best to put political/religious/social differences aside and enjoy being together.
Our politcal views should not force us to dislike family members, friends, colleagues, neighbors or strangers. It’s ok to disagree and move on. Look for reasons to love one another. Love is bigger than politics. Love unites. Let’s love more.

Below are the eleven most-clicked cartoons of 2011 (based on clicks from the sites where they were published–ie. Greenpeace, Wend Magazine, Center for Media and Democracy, ElephantJournal, PlanetSave, Ecopolitology, Ecolutionist, etc…).
Personally, I like a few different ones that didn’t make this list, but the people have spoken (or clicked). They are shared top to bottom in chronological order (oldest to newest) as opposed to order of popularity.
January 18, 2011 “The Aging Activist”
January 24, 2011 “The Republican Triple Threat”
February 23, 2011 “Loaded Breasts and Loaded Guns”
March 4, 2011 “A Special Thanks to Tim DeChristopher”
April 5, 2011 “What You Heard vs What you Remembered”
June 23, 2011 “The Green Republican”
This one inspired an email from the “Green Republican” himself. Bob Inglis wrote:
Joe, I love “The Green Republican.” My kids thought that the line “We’re kids, not idiots” was especially hilarious. Best regards, Bob
July 7, 2011 “‘Thinking’ Like a Climate Skeptic”
August 10, 2011 “Michelle Bachmann’s Lights are on but Nobody’s Home”
October 12, 2011 “Wrong and Wrongerer: How Both Sides of the Aisle Address Climate Change”
November 9, 2011 “Coal ‘Mine’”
November 22, 2011 “Tuna to Greenpeace: Help”
So as not to neglect my two favorite little ‘greenies’, the below cartoon was the most popular Hank D and the Bee cartoon from 2011. “D-U-M Dumb!”
Happy New year, all!
Looking forward to another year of eco-cartoonery…

This cartoon was created with the help of the hardworking activists at the Center for Media and Democracy. Managing Editor Lisa Graves provided her vision and the background info for this piece, and writer Sara Jerving’s guidance brought the cartoon to fruition.

Although this cartoon appears to be an even and nonpartisan attack at both sides of the aisle, it is not an exact representation of how I feel. I am sickened by the majority of the leaders on the right (and their lies to protect their corporate cronies), whereas I am disappointed with much of the left and their lack of meaningful action (which protects their corporate cronies).
However, it is depressingly important to remember that the inaction (for the most part) of the left during this administration is worlds better than the inevitable weakening of all types of environmental protections under a Republican Prez.
As David Roberts shares (in his Grist article linked below)
For eight years, the Bush administration did everything in its power to weaken, delay, or block the natural evolution of clean air and water laws. Its mercury and smog standards were half-assed and rejected by courts, and it famously refused to open the email EPA sent to kick off the rulemaking process on carbon regulations. When Bush left, EPA was confronted with an enormous backlog of work — regulations that, by law, had to be updated.
So that’s where we are. Inaction trumps a full on attack on the earth (and earthlings).
I won’t go on–that’s why I link articles below my cartoons–but remember, at election time, when given the choice of Wrong and Wrongerer, please choose Wrong.
You’ll be right-ish.

Besides the fact that the cloud is part of the joke and that they are ever-malleable to make into giant middle finngers, the cloud is also in the cartoon, as God, to symbolize the fact that God clouds the minds and muddles the judgement of the Christian base.
I just deleted a whole diatribe illustrating that point further…I’ll save you the time and simply summarize.
Supporting Tea Party candidates makes you look very dumb to the rest of the world. Unfortunately, we (the rest of the world) have a vested interest since your ignorance could ruin the rest of the world.
