Lets keep talking, and talking, and talking....

I don't know about all of you, but I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about property tax reform. Even one of my editors told me he's sick of cartoons about property tax reform!

So I hope the legislature can just pull up their sleeves, make the necessary cutbacks (sorry labor unions), and punch it through.

Wanna' be a CEO?

I had to do a cartoon on this douchbag. Robert L. Nardelli, the CEO of Home Depot, resigned as criticism swirled around him due to his performance, pay package and management style. It was Nardelli's bright idea to market Home Depot more to trade professionals that to do-it-yourself-ers. When homeowners made the switch to Lowes, investors' made their views heard.

It's not all bad for Nardelli, since he did leave with a $210 million exit package in the bank. And just in case, Home Depot gave him 3 years of health coverage.
