As the GOP-led Congress tried for the 37th time to repeal Obamacare, I couldn't help but think of that famous quote about how insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Of course, they think this ridiculous endeavor is perfectly sane.
Hey, GOP ... how about you quit with the feigned outrage and conspiracy theories and get back to what you were elected for?
I was disappointed to see CMU President Jared Cohen cave to Bishop Zubik's wishes and bring criminal charges against student protesters. This seems like a giant leap backwards in an age where freedom of speech is so valued that we will go to unthinkable lengths to preserve it (see Citizens United and Westboro Baptist Church). Don't say this is about indecent exposure. We all know what it is really about. My former colleague, Mike McGough, had a terrific column in the LA Times that says it better than I ever could.
It appears that the IRS was using key words like "patriot" and "Tea Party" to flag applications for non-profit status. This is totally offensive and unacceptable. Obama has denounced this kind of partisan targeting. Now, if only we could stop the GOP from their partisan targeting of everything from health care to Benghazi!

PG editorial cartoonist Rob Rogers blogs about the process of creating his daily editorial cartoons.
