New zodiac

In this photo, the message is about the new 13th zodiac sign. A couple is saying that a Gemini is acting like a Scorpio. So, mostly everyone's sign was pushed up one. Honestly, I'm not one that gets into astrology so this really doesn't concern someone as myself.

MLK Day

This cartoon shows a few elderly african-americans reminiscing about the importance of MLK day black history. Then, they show a white man who says he remembers when the Congress was all white. I believe this represents who actually believes in the importance of a black holiday.

Snow Reaction

            This is a cartoon of the U.S. map with tire tracks on it.  It represents the snowstorm that swept the entire country and the captions represent the reactions from people in those areas.  Also, it was the first time a lot of areas experienced snow.

     

Suspect in attack on congresswoman acted alone

       Federal prosecutors brought charges Sunday against the gunman accused of attempting to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing six people at a political event in Arizona.  Investogators claimed to have a search warrent for Jared Loughner's home, and found messages in a safe such as: "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and the name "Giffords" next to what appears to be the man's signature.
      "Loughner fired at Giffords' district director and shot indiscriminately at staffers and others standing in line to talk to the congresswoman," said Mark Kimble, a staffer for Gilfords.
      Loughner is accused of killing six people.  I believe he acted alone because this was very unorganized.  Usually assassinations attempts are more well thought out to the point where the assassin is not trying to get caught. It's unforunate that this incident happened, but I think politicians should start to be more aware of their decisions and try to make some reform in our government.

The Great Wall Of China

This is a cartoon of the Great Wall of China and North Korea.  On one side China's flag is on it and the other side has North Korea with Nuclear Weapons.  The statement is that North Korea is making all these weapons and China, their neighboring country isn't doing anything about it.  Also, the artist is saying that's bringing shame to China.

      

Health Reform cartoon

        This cartoon shows president Obama trying to pick up some Health Reform papers.  However, the elephant, represents the Republican party, and it is keeping Obama from picking up the papers.  In reality, the Republicans are trying to keep the President from passing the health reform bill.

Did Rio de Janiero steal its Olympic logo from a Colorado charity?

         Organizers of the 2016 Olympic committee found similarities with it's logo and the one of a Colorado-based charity foundation.  That is raising the question if it is plagiarism.  The director of the Brazilian agency that created the logo says no. Fred Gelli acknowledges that there are similarities between the two, but guaranteed that his design was original. 
         "For some reason, we missed that one," he said.

Take away the legs and the red dancer from the Telluride logo and you have Rio's. However, it's undeniably similar.
