Here is the latest illustration I did for Andrew’s Analytics, a political blog created by a good friend of mine. This illustration is about the debacle with naming rights for the new Mets Stadium in Queens. As is sits, because Citigroup received 45 billion in tarp money, taxpayers will be paying for the naming rights of the new stadium.

My illustration tries to say that, much like the bonuses paid by AIG, some executive contracts seem to be unbreakable while those of the workers are tossed aside. Taken to the extream only the contracts to build the executive suites will be upheld while the rest of the fans must stand in the shade.

The Thursday night interview of Jim Cramer on The Daily Show was legendary. I kind of felt sorry for the guy because he seemed to take it very personally and never realized it wasn’t really about him. It was about media in general.

My friend Andrew is starting a political blog and I’m going to be providing illustrations. This is the first one for his first post on the 2010 senate races. I call it “out with old” or something like that.

This is more about hot air or a wind-bag, but it was the first think I thought of when I saw the word “breezy”. Its supposed to be Rush if that’s not clear.

Here in Minnesota we are still trying to figure out what all the voices on November 4th were tying to say. Perhaps we will never really know. Also, my people are inspired by my son’s Where’s Waldo books. That’s what I think of when I see the election officials staring at the tiny details of thousands of ballots.

Just in time for Christmas we have many homes Ballooning into the red.
