College football fans think the sky is falling as the coaching carousel spins out of control. They might try looking at college faculty for a little perspective.

On the left side of the image, a coach in a red sweater & red ball cap is floating down on a golden parachute labeled "Football Firings" as he holds a large bag of cash.

The coach says to the professor,, "What? You too?!"

Sometimes, it's better NOT to "win" - especially when you don't really know what's in the box, but you can be pretty sure you're not gonna like it…
paulfell.substack.com/p/like-a-mys...
Scene has two men, dressed like kids in pajamas. On the right side of the image, closer to the foreground, is a caricature of Gov. Jim Pillen, wearing an old leather football helmet, carrying a package labeled "Trump Endorsement" - & the package is leacking something nasty. Pillen is walking away, but turns his head back to give the one man a raspberry, in triumph for winning the package. The other man is a caricature of Trump conor Charles Herbster, a short man wearing a cowboy hat, steamed that he didn't win the package - which is leaking all over the scene.

In case you missed it, Republicans in Congress did something else once they finally agreed to come back to work & open the government. Millions of Americans, especially farmers, may wish Congress had just stayed closed…
paulfell.substack.com/p/holey-cow
Scene is a rural countryside, with a grain silo in the background. On the left side of the image is a cow, with giant holes all over it, like Swiss cheese, and labeled "Farm Bill Extension." On the right side of the image, in the foreground, is a shocked farmer, looking at his cow that was just brought back by a Congressman, also standing on the right side of the image, further back. That's where an arrogant Congressman, who has the lead for the cow im his hand, say indignantly to the farmer, "Aren't you even going to thank me?"

The cause & effect for what Republicans are doing in the U.S. today isn't rocket science - but it's still beyond their abilities to see.
paulfell.substack.com/p/a-sure-fir...
Scene is a rich man, in a tux, wearing a green vest with dollar signs on it. The rich man has just ripped a box out of the hands of a regular man so fast the man is falling on his behind. The box he took is labeled "Jobs." The rich man is putting the box on a stack of boxes he's clearly keeping from the regular man, with labels like "Food," "Education," "Housing," and "Health Care." In the top left corner of this image is a big label that says "How To Get Americans To Embrace Socialism Instead Of Capitalism." At the bottom is another label that says "Rule #1: Take Away Their Stuff."

While Donald Trump may think what's happening with the Epstein Files has landed on him like some kind of fupped duck, it's just the latest sign the only kind of duck Trump & his MAGA cronies should be worried about is the lame one they're all chained to.
paulfell.substack.com/p/the-end-ha...
Scene is Donald Trump, standing in front of a full moon, annoyed at the giant duck that's landed on his head and hunched over shoulders, that has a cast on one foot, and is labeled "Epstein E-Mails."

They also believe in the tooth fairy…
paulfell.substack.com/p/the-coward...
Scene is the edge of a high mountain cliff, with the anthropomorphic avatars of the Democratic Party & The Republican Party. The Democratic donkey, wearing a blue shirt, is holding a bamboo pole, about to walk out on a tightrope over a canyon. Standing next to him is the Republican elephant, extending his right arm over the canyon, and saying "Go ahead and cross. I promise to have a bridge finished before you get to the other side…" Behind the elephant's back, he's clearly holding a hachet.

If you think Democrats have a problem with their #TraitorDems, you haven't met Nebraska's elected Republicans, who don't give a damn about following the law…

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

You might say Nebraska's elected Republican leaders are in the middle of cutting off their noses to spit their faces - but the budget situation there is a real bear & cuts far deeper than that.
paulfell.substack.com/p/cutting-of...
Scene has a large tree trunk in the center of the image, as the perspective is aimed down the tree trunk from a high point. On a small branch of the tree hangs a man wearing a red shirt labeled "NEBR." At the base of the tree are two large bears, each with an axe, on each side of the tree. On the left, the bear is labeled "$451M Budget Shortfall" while the bear on the right is labeled "Lower tax revenue." The bear on the left says to the other bear, "After you!" The second bear replies, "Oh no, after you!"

And now, a quick musical break while we're all waiting for election results…

Scene is three anthropomorphic elephants, one playing a piano, one a guitar, and one the drums, and all three saying in unison, "I will now play 'The shutdown is the fault of the Democrats!'"

No, Democrats don't have one single leader for the whole party. Only an alien, clueless to the realities of today's Democratic Party, would even think they should…
paulfell.substack.com/p/democrats-...
Scene is two green aliens, standing in the foreground of the image, with their spaceship in the background. One of them asks two anthropomorphic donkey men, both wearing blue sweaters with a large "D" on their chest, to "Take us to your leader." Both donkey men look at the alien, and at each other with giant question marks above their heads, shrugging.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?
