Bill Day’s latest: A thunderstorm turns Rick Scott into Chicken Little

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

Tropical Storm Erika may have been full of sound and fury, at least for a while. In the end, though, it signified nothing. After causing floods and mudslides throughout the Caribbean, Erika rapidly lost much of its steam on its way to Florida, but not before leaving Southwest Florida with little more than the threat of a handful of thunderstorms. That did not prevent Rick Scott from going into disaster mode. In Bill Day’s latest, the governor – in a passable imitation…

in 2017 by

As Jeb Bush fights off accusations of weakness over Common Core, his brother’s legacy and other issues, Bill Day shows the Republican presidential candidate planning a serious left hook. The heavily funded super PAC supporting the former Florida governor is ready to spend at least $10 million on television time in some of the early primary states, in the first round of what is sure to be an immense TV ad blitz. The Associated Press reports that the Bush-associated Right…

Bill Day’s latest: With Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly ‘That’s not all, folks’

in 2017/Top Headlines by

If anything can be said about the GOP race so far, it’s this: Donald Trump pulls no punches, nor does he regret any punches already thrown. Regardless of whom he batters. The real-estate billionaire and former reality television star is refusing to back down from negative comments made toward FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly. Or, for that matter, any of the other women he has called “’slobs, dogs and pigs” over the years. And, according to the latest from political cartoonist…

Bill Day’s latest: Rick Scott shows his inner Pinocchio

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

With barefaced demagoguery, Rick Scott once again shows his inner Pinocchio. The latest from Bill Day highlights the Florida governor — here called “Scottocchio” — and his changing rules on abortions, part of the shameless effort to demonize Planned Parenthood. Last week, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration ordered three of the state’s Planned Parenthood clinics to stop second-trimester abortions. It was after an investigation found they lacked proper licensing to perform the procedure. Scott’s latest condemnation stemmed from…

Bill Day’s latest: Donald Trump shields Jeb Bush from debate storm

in 2017/Top Headlines by

As Republican White House hopefuls prepare for the first official GOP presidential debate, most of the attention – good or bad – will go to Donald Trump over what he will, or won’t, say. As for politics, however, the real interest isn’t what Trump ultimately does on the Cleveland debate stage Thursday night, but who will benefit the most from the sideshow known as “The Donald.” Anyone who has given the subject any thought knows Trump won’t be the eventual…

Bill Day’s latest: Mother’s Day

in Apolitical/Top Headlines by

Everyone has one, and few can deny that the most cherished figure in a person’s life is their mother. Bill Day’s latest observes Mother’s Day, a holiday honoring maternity in all of its forms — especially our own Mother Earth, mother to us all. Held in the U.S. on Sunday, Mother’s Day is a holiday with a history as interesting and diverse as its subject matter. According to the History Channel, the American version of Mother’s Day began with social activist Anna Jarvis.…

Bill Day’s latest: Gone fishin’

in Top Headlines by

Editorial cartoonist Bill Day sharpens his pencil to mark the “official” sine die of Florida’s 2015 legislative session. While today would usually be filled with post-hanky drop celebrations throughout the Florida Capitol and along Adams Street, there is no joy tonight in Mudville (otherwise known as Tallahassee). On Tuesday, the House abruptly adjourned its session, hightailing it out of town three days early. The lower chamber’s disappearing act left the Senate hanging — with a full agenda, a long list of…
