Allow Me To Introduce Myself



I am a cartoonist, comedian, commentator and musician, currently living in Lexington, Kentucky. I am the artist behind the cartoon "Greed Is Piggy". My mission is to bring back a prosperous and widespread middle class. Greed is not good. It never has been. Greed is piggy. As one of the pinched middle class, I decided to investigate the political policies that have led us here, to let others know what I found out, and to entertain by putting it all in a cartoon series. Since it's easy to make claims without facts (i.e., Faux News), all the research behind the cartoons will be available at www.greedispiggy.com. I will also post the cartoons there and here.

I am also blogging about various topics from a progressive Christian perspective. Yes, there is such a thing. Hopefully you will find it refreshing. I am not a religious official of any kind, but feel strongly that every loving Christian voice needs to be raised against the hate mongering emanating from others who claim to be Christians.

You might think of me as the Frankenstein monster creation of the unlikely marriage of Donald Trump and Barack Obama. I learned a lot about business and marketing success from watching The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, and from reading all of The Donald's books. Then in 2008, candidate Obama gave the "failure of empathy" speech and moved me to become more involved. And now...

It's Alive!!
It has a mind of its own!
And probably neither of them would be entirely pleased with the result.
The Donald less than The Barack, I suspect.
You know how these independent creations are. They can turn on you.


Once the Web site is reasonably well established and the cartoons online, then I will start adding vlogs including my stand-up routines. The music is generally in service of those. If you would like music while you read, however, please let me know at elenaatelenacarlenadotcom. If I have enough requests, I will make it a priority to record some.

A Special Note To Trolls: Before you tell me to go back to Mexico, you should know that my father's naming ancestor emigrated from Europe around the time of the Mayflower, my people are typical Heinz 57 melting pot Americans of long standing, and one of my mother's grandparents was native American. So if you are a troll of pure Northern European origin, then I belong here more than you do.
