National Debt Ceiling Cartoon – New Washington Budget Calculations

The worldwide attention to the United States budget ceiling crisis, well, drew the attention enough to cause this twoons.com creation!

   • [ for staffing overnight bill rewrite ]
2. Switching My Vote = $25,000
   • [ selling out to a lobbyist greater cause ]
3. Nailing A Debt Deal = $x,000,000,000,000
   • [ sorry for the small delay! ]
4. Getting re-elected next year because no one remembers this screw-up = PRICELE$$!

Happiest When Tweeting?

Today’s twoon is inspired by people who seem to be happiest when they communicate via tweets.

Text description of today’s twoon: 3 image groups under the title “Moods & Modes”. Left group is a smiley face that is frowning and under the face is an icon of an envelope, and the word Postal. Middle group is a smiley face with a flat mouth that is not smiling nor frowning, and under the face is a computer icon with the word “Email”. Right group is a smiling smiley face, and under it is a hand making the “Ok” sign and the word “Tweeting”.

No Tweeting Zone

Worse than the twilight zone?

Today’s cartoon is inspired by senseless hunting for valid parking spaces! And, also inspired by the rumor that some workplaces block access to sites such as Twitter, Plurk, Yammer, and other microblogging services.  So, during a normal work-week some places can seem to be sort of a “no tweet zone”. (Except, as advised by many, if one can access other sites or use software such as Tweetdeck or others listed here on Twitter.

Text description of twoon: A mock-up of a street sign that says in large letters ‘No Tweeting Zone‘, and below it in smaller letters ‘Permit holders excepted‘,  ‘9:00am – 5:00pm M-F‘ and ‘Max Fine $100 or 3 Months Online Community Service“.
