Cartoon examination pt.7

1. This cartoon is titled "Radioactive Partisanship" and it invokes the relationship between democrats and republicans before the supposed shutdown. 
2. The artist exhibits two men in radiation absorbing suits cooling down the house of congress like the Japanese did to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant 60 miles northeast of Tokyo, but they claim it will have no affect.
4. The message of this is that sometimes efforts towards preventing disaster are meaningless because the end results can be the same as they were if nothing was done to prevent it.
6. This is satirical because it is comical and grossly exaggerated, the government meltdown the two people were trying to prevent never occurred and if it did it would still pale in comparison to an actual nuclear crisis.
