What's All The Hubbub, Bub?
by Ed Naha | April 10, 2013 - 9:52am

I grew up on anarchic cartoons: Looney Tunes, Screwy Squirrel, Droopy dog, the whole nine yards. When theatrical cartoons were toned down and phased out decades ago, I was heartbroken. Where could I now go to see characters’ eyes bug out of their heads on stalks while ahooga horns blared, to witness apoplectic dorks blow steam out of their ears while train whistles hooted and, of course, to behold irate idiots shoot flames out of their butts with enough force to twirl them around like a spinning top?

Little did I know that, in my second childhood, the Great Cartoonist In the Sky would pencil in three- dimensional versions of these demented drawings courtesy of the Republican Party. These days, I can behold Looney Tunes action just by watching the news.

The big problem I have with today’s Loonies is that they don’t have the smarts of their cartoon counterparts. Wile E. Coyote always thought he’d succeed when he lit a stick of dynamite and hid it under a box marked “bird seed.” Today’s conservatives light the stick, hold it, have it blow up in their faces and, then, deny the dynamite ever existed, the explosion ever happened or that they had anything to do with lighting the fuse. Some people call this “magical thinking.” I call it “blissful mass destruction.”

These guys and gals imagine a reality and, then, set about to destroy anything and anyone that doesn’t fit in with their wishful thinking.
