• Chan Lowe: Republican campaign pledge fever

  

  
  Here’s your problem, which is actually several problems rolled into one: You’re a Republican, running for president. You’re either so naïve, or your messiah complex is so in need of servicing, that you actually think you can run the country. Not just run it, but improve [...]

• Chan Lowe: Michele Bachmann's therapy session

  

  
  Cultural conservatives are unwilling to accept, or even to entertain, the notion that same-sex attraction is programmed into one’s biological makeup the same as eye color, or a preference for anchovies. To continue to insist that being gay is a willful choice, or at least the [...]

• Chan Lowe: Rogue tea partiers

  

  It’s like the movie, Chucky. The ventriloquist’s dummy acquires a vengeful mind of its own, and turns on its masters.

  Chucky is today’s tea party. Created, bought and paid for by corporate and Wall Street fat cats to keep their taxes down and enable them to maximize the [...]

• Chan Lowe: Art?...in public places

  

  One of the advantages (or maybe it’s a disadvantage) of being a member of the same editorial board for 27 years is that you develop an institutional memory.

  One memory I would have preferred to let slip away is from the 1980s, when the Broward County Commission [...]

• Chan Lowe: Tea party plays with matches

  

  Normally, inter-party one-upmanship in the halls of Congress is, like polo, a spectator sport that appeals to only a slim cohort of the general public. It shouldn’t be this way, but what with the demands on the average citizen’s time of making a living, raising a family, [...]

• Chan Lowe: An imaginative way to win the war in Afghanistan

  

  
  While our defense policy cheeses are making esoteric arguments about whether an anti-terrorism strategy or an anti-insurgency strategy is the best way to “win” in Afghanistan, here’s a little outside-the-box thinking that achieves both goals simultaneously.

  We have an almost endless supply of this psychological weapon [...]

• Chan Lowe: Casey Anthony cashes in?

  

  I’m hoping this is the last cartoon about Casey Anthony that I draw for a while. The problem is that, besides being a quasi-local story here in South Florida, the case shocks, amazes and disgusts at so many levels, and appeals to prurient interests at so [...]

• Chan Lowe: The Casey Anthony verdict II

  

  There’s a thin line between justice and vengeance. I’ve been thinking about that a lot since the Anthony verdict yesterday, and it occurs to me that the former is really a codified, organized, legalized form of the latter. “Justice” is an attempt to apply the constraint of [...]

• Chan Lowe: The Casey Anthony verdict

  

  I was in the middle of drawing this when the verdict was announced. Where else but in America can you can be tried, convicted and sentenced in the media and the court of public opinion, then found not guilty by a jury that’s been living in a [...]

• Chan Lowe: Celebrating the Fourth

  

  Some people don’t understand why we celebrate the freeing of our nation from the oppression of the British crown with fireworks, particularly when every year, people accidentally blow off limbs and set fire to property in the course of their private independence festivities.

  They don’t understand the [...]
