Well, this cartoon is about what you get in the LA Times. My theory is that this cartoonist goes to social gatherings where there are celebrities and introduces himself as the artist who drew this cartoon. Just think of the attaboys and schmoozing he would get; Tom Hanks telling him that this cartoon is over his desk at the office would bring him to orgasm, wouldn't you say?
There is no courage needed to be an outspoken liberal in Hollywood.
"I believe that Obama would like to see an end to racism, sexism and homophobia. While many people find fault at the slow pace that Obama is addressing these issues, socialists would agree with these aims. But so would Greens, most Democrats and some libertarians (did I forget anyone?). So, being an open-minded individual who supports civil rights does not necessarily label one a socialist. In fact, most socialists would argue that our economic system, capitalism, requires inequality to survive, and so we cannot finally end these blights within the current framework – not that we shouldn’t still try."

Obama Wins!
Labor wins!
Americans reject policies of greed and union busting!
By Scott Marshall
President-elect Barack Obama.
Those words ring with meaning. For organized labor they ring with pride, hope, and energy for the struggles ahead. No one feels like labors candidate won, so now we can go home and rest. Rather, as congratulation messages pour in from all parts of the labor movement, the critical subtext is, we are ready and eager to march with you for change. At the top of labors change agenda is boots-on-the-ground support for the Obama agenda of a new New Deal for economic recovery and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act.
....
The labor movement took independent political action to spectacular new levels. Unions broke all previous records in mobilizing its rank and file for labor walks, phone banks, plant gate distributions, and member to member contact in the workplace. Labor continued to build and develop its own political apparatus and voice. Hundreds, if not thousands, of union halls became campaign central for the Obama campaign as well as for targeted Congressional contests.
