Strike Three, Dubster! You're Outa There!

In his film, "W," Oliver Stone found baseball to be a touchstone for W's life. Poppy (Bush 41) had been a star baseball player at Yale while The Dubster was the family ne'er-do-well until he landed in the owner's box with the Texas Rangers. The Dubster couldn't play, but he could wear a team jacket and hang out with players and other owners. Today, The Dubster takes a called third strike in this blog. "Get out of here, ya bum!" If this is (fair & balanced) baseball jeering, so be it.

[John Sherffius began drawing editorial cartoons for the Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper at UCLA. After two years of working as a freelance artist, after graduation, he was hired by the Ventura County Star in Southern California as a graphic artist and gradually worked his way into editorial cartooning for the paper. In 1998, he was hired by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as the newspaper's editorial cartoonist, a job he held until 2003 when he quit the paper over editorial differences. Sherffius bridled at editorial insistence that he tone down cartoons attacking Republicans. Sherffius then went to work for the Boulder Daily Camera where his cartoons appear regularly and are syndicated nationally by the Copley News Service. Sherffius won the 2008 Herblock Prize for Editorial Cartooning.]
