What if Chris Rock had said "Nappy-headed Ho's"?

Would he have been fired? Would he had even been booed?

Get Well Soon Governor

Governor Corzine is in stable condition this morning as he rests in the intensive care unit at Cooper University Hospital following a car crash last night on the Garden State Parkway.

Corzine was leaving Atlantic City last night around 6 p.m., traveling with his aide back to Princeton to the Governor's mansion, where Don Imus met with the Rutgers basketball team.

Pictures of the accident and more information can be found at the Star-Ledger by clicking here.

Banks are sprouting like flowers

I have to admit, between having to do my taxes, getting ready to go to Washington this weekend, getting my artwork ready for my Delaware Art Museum exhibit, and everything else, life's been pretty hectic. I haven't had much time to get up my cartoons.

Here's one for NJBiz, about the sudden increase in the number of banks popping up everywhere. I guess they aren't hurting too badly from all the faulty sub-prime mortgages they lent out to borrowers with little to no credit.

I'll have more cartoons to post in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!

Illustration in today's Philadelphia Inquirer

Here's an illustration I did to accompany a commentary in today's Philadelphia Inquirer by John Haigis, who serves on the Darby Borough Historical Commission and is the webmaster of The Darby History website.

The article is about the lessons we can learn about slavery from an archeological dig going on at the President's House in Philadelphia. It discusses one of Washington's slaves, named Hercules, who was considered a well-off slave. He was allowed to sell leftover food, earning about $200 a year. With that money he bought clothing, a watch, buckles for his shoes and even a cane.

Here are some additional ideas I came up with before my editor went with the final one. Thought you might find them interesting:
