Quagga mussels
A potential invasion of the incredibly fast-reproducing quagga mussels in having authorities worried about what happens if it gets into Lake Casitas. Since such invasions typically happen via the hulls of boats, there is a proposal to ban all boats from Lake Casitas, pitting recreational boating and fishing interests against water-quality concerns.

Making California's budget cuts
Gov. Schwarzenegger has decided the best way to deal with the state's budget crisis is by chopping every program, regardless of relative merit, by 10 percent. Don't expect this to be the final way this budget comes out of the political process.

Countrywide meltdown
Countrywide Financial Corp. may have crashed and burned in the subprime lending meltdown, with its investor Bank of America picking up the pieces, and its headquarters could be moved away from Calabasas, and the fate of its employees is uncertain, but its CEO will remain comfortably well-off no matter what.

Bush and the Mideast
A colleague once said early in my career, after seeing an unusually cut-and-pasted original, "Greenberg doesn't draw cartoons, he just assembles them." Here in the Photoshop era, there's no cut-and-paste work, but sometimes for the sake of expediency I'll need to do a cartoon in components. Here are the ink lines as scanned in:
I made the decision to do the piles and signs separately, so that I could make gritty piles without messing up the signs. And because Bush, Abbas and Olmert were going to be small, I drew them slightly larger so that I could do the detail of their faces, then shrink them a bit.

Oil hits $100 a barrel
As 2008 begins, crude oil hit the milestone price of $100 per barrel for the first time, a sign that $4 a gallon gasoline at the pump may not be far behind. But will this be enough to make Americans begin to turn from their profligate ways?

The raging discussion
Since I can see all the comments posted on this blog, it's interesting to see which cartoon has gotten the most comments. Gun control? Abortion? Something local such as LNG in Oxnard? Nah... not even close. The raging discussion here with the most entries (17 at last count) is with an entry from June 2005 and is still going on. Actually, nobody's really commenting on the cartoon itself, but on the subject of the cartoon: Michael Jackson.
Among the pithy commentaries posted:

Welcome to 2008
Most predictions for the real estate market are that 2008 will continue the gloom of 2007 as the effects of foreclosures and newly-higher adjustable rate mortgages are more fully felt.
