Boston Marathon Bombing
Does it really take a horrific bombing that claimed the lives of three people, including an eight-year-old boy, for our politicians to set aside petty difference and work together? 
Fiskered Out
Will Fisker ever build a single car in Delaware? If I were a betting man, I’d put my money into the Powerball before I plunked down speculative dollars on the Fisker Atlantic.
Climate change is real, and it’s causing Delaware to sink
Sen. James Imhoff (R-OK) is noted for suggesting that climate change is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. He’s also the ranking minority member on the Senate’s Environment and Public Works committee.

Mike Protack Hates Mental Pedestrians, and Other Troll Comments

Happy New Year Delaware!

Giving Thanks for Delaware’s Politicans
People are thankful for many different things by the time Thanksgiving rolls around. Some are thankful for their health. Others are happy they have close friends and a loving family. I’m thankful for politicians.
Uninspiring GOP candidates drive the party into statewide obscurity
State GOP chairman John Sigler said, “We have a lot of work to do but we’ve accomplished an awful lot.” What exactly did they accomplish, and how long before they win back the trust of big donors in the party still miffed about Christine O’Donnell?
Jeff Cragg Turns to Creationist Governor For Fundraising Help
Tonight, Maine Governor Paul LePage will attend a fundraiser for Republican candidate Jeff Cragg as a special guest. If you read today’s News Journal, you know how pitiful Jeff Cragg’s fundraising has been ($60,000 total, $26,250 coming from his own checkbook), so any fundraising help is probably welcome for the Republican gubernatorial candidate. However, LePage [...]
Kevin Wade and Jeff Cragg

Tornoe’s Toon: Health Care Reform
For tea baggers, facts and constitutionality won’t change a thing – that bubble is too darn thick!
It’s Not a Flip-Flop If You Get It Right
What is the definition of a flip-flopper?
It’s interesting to explore the origin of the term. Famed New York Times columnist William Safire wrote about a U.S. politician in the late 19th century who was refereed to as “the Florida flopper” by an opponent. Safire noted that the “fl” sound appearing twice [...]
Chris Christie: Less Superman, More Clark Kent
By vetoing a same-sex marriage bill that a majority of New Jerseyans supported, Christie has proven who the true leaders are – Republican party officials that hate the whiff of anything gay.
Eye of Newt
Newt Gingrich might have called out Mitt Romney on his “pious baloney,” but poor Newt might now be classified as “desperate baloney” after being eclipsed this week by the frothy Rick Santorum in Colorado and Minnesota.
Super Bowl Cartoons
I draw for a lot of different newspapers in the area. So check out a couple of cartoons about today’s Super Bowl…
Tornoe’s Toon: A Civil Union-y New Year!
I’ve drawn my fair share of cartoons on why civil unions are a step-forward, but gay marriage is the way to go if you’re looking for true equity.
Come check out my cartoons on Friday at Film Bros. in Wilmington
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I’ll be displaying some of my cartoons at Film Bros. as part of the November Art Loop. The reception is 5:30 p.m. – 8 p.m., and afterward is the monthly re:Fresh after party, with music provided by DJ EA, so everyone should stop by and check [...]
The ‘Lessons’ We Never Learned From 9/11
It’s hard to take the slogan “never forget” seriously when, as a country, we never learned the true lessons of 9/11 in the first place.
My Cartoon on Meet the Press
I was out shopping for groceries for Mother’s Day Sunday morning when I found out that my cartoon about the death of Osama bin Laden was featured on this week’s “Meet the Press.”
Tornoe’s Toon: Christine Can’t Write and Dance at the Same Time
O’Donnell turning down “Dancing With The Stars” is bad for cartoonists, but great for just about everyone else.
