Saturday Snark

Every Saturday Steven Hayward posts at Power Line a collection of cartoons, captioned photos, posters, headlines and other timely ephemera of a snidely humorous nature, much of it political. I don't always find myself moved to comment thereupon, here are a few favorites from this week's herd.

Cartoon of a Democrat donkey dressed as a little kid, throwing a tantrum, kicking and screaming, captioned:

Another carefully considered, well-crafted and sober argument by liberal Democrats against the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Photoshopped™shot of Barack Obama as a Janus-like figure with two faces pointed in opposite directions. One face says the following:

GDP growth of under 2% is the new norm. Trump doesn't have a magic wand.

The other face opines:

The great economy we have now is all thanks to me and my policies.

Cartoon of a distraught woman being comforted by a second female, dressed as a health professional, who speaks:

Calling a product or service a human right doesn't magically render it immune to scarcity.

Cartoon of a guy holding a giant fork labeled "socialism" aiming it at a giant wall electric socket labeled "the economy." His friend warns him:

Everyone else who tried this has gotten hurt.

Fork man replies:

Everyone else did it the wrong way. 

Photo of U.S. currency seemingly growing on a tree, captioned:

Only capitalism creates anywhere near enough wealth to fund socialism. 

Cartoon of Lucy (labeled "Democrats") holding the football, while Charley Brown (labeled "young voters") looks bemused. Lucy speaks:

I promise; this time socialism will work! 

Photo of a Kalashnikov assault rifle and ammunition, captioned:

The only thing that socialism produced that actually works & leftists hate it. 

Photo of a sign where people post snappy sayings using movable letters, this one proclaiming:

Turning vegan would be a big missed steak.
