Links: Conservative/independent humor and satire
For this list, we're looking for links to sources for (or creators
of) humor/satire that is sharply critical of the moronic liberal
elites in Washington, academia, and the media.
(Out of respect for our colleagues in the comics field,
we've also included a few examples of liberal satirical
comic strips.)
WARNING: These links are to a
wide range of material -- some of it kid-friendly, some not.
In fact, some of this material is offensive to
adults as well. On this page, we link to libertarians who
sometimes offend religious conservatives, and vice versa; we link to
both neocons and paleocons; we link to Tea Party folks and GOP
loyalists alike; we link to people who are usually conservative but
who sometimes take liberal positions; and we link to comedians and
comics and other creators who sometimes go WAY over the top.
In our quest to produce a "canonical" list, we even link to people
who offend us! Inclusion here does
NOT imply endorsement of everything the linkee says or does.
Finally, as is always true with links on the
Web, destination pages can and do change in unpredictable ways.
Use caution when accessing these
links... and don't blame us for what you find there. (Feel
free to let us know what you think about this page, or to send us
ideas for links, by
e-mailing us.)

Astonishingly, it appears that the political cartoons of the late John Kreuttner, the
brilliant, semi-abstract cartoonist for William F. Buckley Jr.'s
National Review, and of the late Jeff MacNelly, arguably the greatest
editorial cartoonist of the 20th Century, are not collected anywhere online.
