FiveThirtyEight.com is now including district breakdowns for Nebraska (and Maine) due to the national attention on the second district electoral vote. I got a kick out of this line explaining the political breakdown of Nebraska’s geography:

If John McCain has a nervous breakdown and replaces himself on the ticket with Jack Abramoff, Obama might win 537 electoral votes — with Western Nebraska being the holdout.

Check out these two JournalStar.com comments, posted on a cartoon about dentists:

I think this is all pointless drivel since our economy is about to crash and we’re electing the friend of a terrorist to the White House. Amazing what the Journal Star chooses to deem of great importance….how about writing on the documents that were released about Obama’s connection with Ayers and Acron or his voting fraud operation or how about this….fraudulent contributions to his campaign?? Oh, but wait, the Journal Star didn’t realize there was a Republican candidate running for President did they…. and that, my friends, is why it only takes about five minutes to read one of the most worthless papers in the United States, right up there with the New York Times!!! Liberal Media!

I’ll be participating in Omaha’s 24 Hour Comics Day this year. Check out Doomkopf.com for all the info.

There’s been an absence of cartoons here lately, and there will be until tomorrow, so please enjoy this great cartoon from Jeff Koterba in yesterday’s Omaha World-Herald. Regular readers of this blog are probably expecting me to be sarcastic, but I thought it was excellent.
