What DID make me laugh was the size of the pen. So, I would scratch off the word "bipartisan" and simply have Obama saying the pen has gone dry, at which point the cartoon is still funny -- but more important, it would be far more accurate. That's because then we'd see Obama signing a bill SO big and composed of SO many pages that he used up all of the ink in the pen -- even one that humongous -- all because he just signed off on SO MANY RIDICULOUS THINGS!!!!!!!!
