Bob Ney has a funny name. It means mud in horse. On Monday he stepped down from the chairmanship of the House Administration Committee. The Jack Abramoff scandle is a complex mess and evidently Ney was in the middle of it.

Ohio was known as the swing state in 2004 presidential election.  The combatants from that election are swinging at each other again over election reform issues on the November 8 ballot.  Reform Ohio Now, backed by unions, Democrats, and MoveOn.org, supports the amendments.  Ohio First, backed by Republicans and the Swiftboat ad people, opposes the issues.

By the way, Issue 3 lowers caps on campaign contributions while Issue 4 takes state and federal redistricting out of the hands of elected officials and turns it over to a bipartisan commission.

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the grandparents in a child visitation rights case.  The grandparents raised the child after the child's mother (their daughter) died of cancer.  Eventually the father showed up and wanted the kid back.  Janet Reno then sent in federal agents to snatch the child.  Oh wait, wrong cartoon.  If you want to read the story click here.

I drew this cartoon mainly because it gave me a chance to draw a lawyer and a wolf.  I also wanted to draw canine dentures in a glass.  Can you find the lawyer?
