Cartoon Tuesday: Jump the Gates or Dump the Stooges?
From the cutting-off-one's-nose-to-spite-one's-face department comes this nonetheless impressive song and video excoriating the MTA (a.k.a.

Cartoon Tuesday: Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back?
Hat tip to David Alpert for this Tom Toles toon, which nails the disconnect between the brave green world we're supposedly entering and the dramatic cutbacks plaguing transit systems across the country. Click through for the punchline (I kind of gave it away already).
