A lot of corny political humour here; essentially, a collection of statements (a few of which are direct quotes), with snarky "translations" underneath. A lot of the humour is not only corny, but obvious, though it doesn't make it any less truthful. The real prize are the illustrations by Jim Berryman (Washington Star editorial cartoonist and son of Clifford Berryman); they're very well rendered, and capture the last gasps of some ancient political tropes (the frock-coat, string-tie wearing politician). It's also fairly bipartisan in its poking. ( )
