Political Cartoon #3

Ok so again this weeks political cartoon i found on cagle.com/politicalcartoons.
You can probably expect the rest of them to be from there, because I like the cartoons on that website haha.

I liked this cartoon just because I thought it was kinda funny. Basically it's the Grinch sees a bigger red Grinch labeled *Recession*. The caption at the bottom says, "I got to Whoville before you this year" with the Grinch terrified saying "Dang, I got a big brudder". Basically saying how recession will ruin our Christmas this year rather than the Grinch. The Grinch's dog, Max says "I hear singing", and I only understood that because the Who's in Whoville sang even though they didn't have their presents. So maybe it's stating that people will be happy even with Recession going on? I'm not too sure.

I'm not too sure if I agree with this Cartoon, I feel like it's a bit overexagerated because recently when I went to the mall to go x-mas shopping, it was PACKED, and route 7 to Dulles Mall was a lot of traffic. I imagine the other way to Tysons was as bad. I would think a lot of people are doing shopping so maybe the Recession might not be a problem. Also, we did get a increase in spending on black friday, so many people might not think it is a problem.

haHA...but seriously...that is ONE SCARY CARTOON...but no one is worse than the grinch...how can the grinch be out of a job?...that is BOGUS...anyways...this cartoon is kinda true, but in NV, there really hasn't been much of an affect with the whole recession and christmas thing. I was at the mall today and there were TONS of people shopping...it was just as bad as last year. Maybe it's because we live so close to D.C. that we just thrive off of it...right?...you think?...anyways...that red grinch is going to haunt my nightmares!!!
PEACE...
