What did you say?

Not a lot of fun to look at, is it?  Well, believe me, it's waaaay worse after you do the research and fill in the blanks.  

This is an example of the coloring sheet back I'm using on all the 2012 Home Team materials.

PLEASE save a copy of the image and print put a bunch to use any time you hear the name of a politician who you know virtually nothing about.

The final version will have fields programmed in that will let you type your research into the pdf version. For now, good old pencil will have to do.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, visit the Home Team Politics Kickstarter page to see one prominent group of American politicians  that you can use this sheet to gather information about.

Visit the CPC Twitter List to get a sneak preview of the entire Congressional Progressive Caucus, and let them know you're paying attention!

Among the missing

If you're coming here from Kickstarter then you've probably already Ed Pastor's card. Twice. 

If you're NOT coming here from Kickstarter, by all means click to visit right now! My excuse for not blogging in a month (hurm) is clearly explained there.

What is not clearly explained would be these next two drawings…

Neither of these men are, to my knowledge, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Mission Accomplished?

Kind of off topic, but this week Rick Santorum suspended his pursuit of the GOP nomination for President of the United States.

Several years ago, Mr. Santorum lost an election in his home state to today's Home Teamer, Bob Casey Jr. It was a pretty big win by any standard. Strangely, Mr. Casey is also not running for anything in 2012.

Wait, what's that you say?

He IS running for Senate seat again?

Happy Birthday!

Hey

I find it a little funny that when I went to Wikipedia today to begin my research for today's caricature of Ruth Bader Ginsburg the featured article was about Black Francis. In 1993 when Mrs. Ginsberg began her job in the court, I cared a lot more about what was going on with the Pixies.

I'm Impressed

He held a job the whole time, just one job, and raised a family of nine kids? I'm amazed at what a husband and wife on the same page can accomplish. Happy Birthday Antonin Scalia!
