How sweet it is!!!!
Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Priorities
We have them all wrong. From constant news coverage of Jodi Arias and OJ Simpson to athletes getting mega bucks for playing a game, our sense of what is important is completely and totally screwed up. You'd think that we might have learned something from the recent events in Boston. That heroes emerge from even the most difficult of circumstances, but, no, we return to the inane and inconsequential. Amanda Knox. Film at 11.I drew this cartoon after reading the recent story about Andrew Wiggins, supposedly the "next" LeBron James, signing a letter of intent with Kansas. While Wiggins did his best to keep his signing from becoming too much of a circus, it still carried huge weight in the 24/7 news cycle. It made me think of the number of brilliant kids who will walk across graduation stages all over our country in the next few weeks, whose names are only heard as they stride forward to get their diplomas. No newspaper columns are written or press conferences held for valedictorians or honor students, but, hey, dribble a basketball and we hear all about it. Priorities. Yeah. I'd say we have them pretty screwed up.
As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

Dear Drew,
There is a sad irony to this cartoon. We are kissing football season hello just as we are about to say goodbye to you. Yes I know you’ll still be doing the cartoons but you won’t be a “local” anymore. I wish you a safe transition towards Texas and that you’re life there is as happy as the joy you have given all of us via your cartoons.
I wish so badly I could join your send off party. Sadly my thrice weekly dialysis is scheduled for the same time. Still you’ll be in my heart. i wish you well Drew.
All the best (Here and in Texas)

Good Morning from Omaha,
its football season! being a chiefs fan I was listening to a KC radio station and they were all a twitter over getting player interviews. Our car now features am/fm/ , c.d. player, the ability to play I Pods or MP3′s and sirrius radio. I insisted on making my wife listen to AM sports talk and interviews with chief players over ANY THING!
Its been a long 6 months since the super bowl and I just can not get enough football news, right now. The guys on the radio are ticked that Peyton picked Denver over KC- although KC, in my opinion, was never on his radar and can hardly wait for the bronco’s /chiefs games.
It is football after all and college practice starts soon as well.
So now that we are back in Omaha I guess my wife can listen to her pop music and I get ESPN’d into submission from football over dose.
Strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

Drew,
I am with Louis, it is so sad to lose you to Texas. Drew, we will miss a true Denver icon. To the extent you will be geographically inconvenient, it is truly our fine city’s loss. However, as long as Denver remains in your heart and soul, you are still a great son of the city and the state of Colorado!
Good luck and Godspeed!
Mike
I do not even understand how I ended up here, but I believed
this post was once great. I don’t know who you’re however certainly you are
going to a well-known blogger if you are not already.
Cheers!
