Cartoons

Today

  • Murder & monitors

    If Eric Holder is looking for a police force that could use a federal monitor, maybe he should look in his boss’s hometown.

  • Miss USA’s big miss

    One of the charms of watching a beauty pageant these days seems to be the inevitable YouTube moment when a contestant botches a question designed to show her bikini comes with a brain.

  • A gambling man

    Gov. Cuomo has a curious way of letting New Yorkers decide an issue: If the voters disapprove an expansion of full-scale casino gambling at the polls this November, he’s going to expand it anyway.

Yesterday

  • Gov. Andrew M. Excuses

    Call him Gov. No-Can-Do. Instead of fixing a problem he admits is throttling the state’s economy — i.e., high taxes — Andrew Cuomo makes excuses.

  • Shelly’s compromising position

    They say the coverup is worse than the crime. Shelly Silver sure found that out. And now those who back him are finding that covering for the man who covered up may be worst of all.

  • Attention Walmart shoppers

    Here in a city where politicians fight new businesses that want to come to town, it’s no secret that Walmart remains unwelcome. But the retail giant has just landed a friend in a high place: the White House.

Letters

  • Meddling in Middle East: are we even arming allies?

    The Issue: Whether President Obama’s decision to provide arms to Syrian rebels is in the nation’s interest.

  • Luxe happens

    Rich Calder’s piece about the rent paid for offices used by the Kings County District Attorney’s Office is highly misleading (“How $uite It Is for DA,” June 17).
