Cartoon Tuesday: It’s (Not) Funny Because It’s True
This AM New York cartoon, currently making the rounds on e-mail, was surely a ridiculous exaggeration when first published in 2004. But it's not as far off the mark today. As the Times reports, Florida is the latest state to start giving away free "gas for life" as a lottery prize. And though the jackpot, in reality, is $2,600 in prepaid gas cards every year until the winner's death, some Floridians say they would prefer that prize to the game's $250,000 cash payout, regardless of which would actually be more valuable.

Cartoon Tuesday: Mode Switch
This number from cartoonist Bob Lafay makes a good companion to last week's news that some bike models are in short supply throughout New York City, perhaps reflecting the effect of gas prices on manufacturers' inventories. The panic subsides once you start pedaling.
