I have no clue what’s happening in this cartoon, as I trusted your creativity and wit to make something of it. Clearly something is happening. Please, contribute something original and funny or insightful or angry. Get silly. Humor me. Get rich. Humor yourself by winning $25 USD!

To explain the above: See Wikipedia on Menifest Destiny:
Historian William E. Weeks has noted that three key themes were usually touched upon by advocates of Manifest Destiny:
1.the virtue of the American people and their institutions;
2.the mission to spread these institutions, thereby redeeming and remaking the world in the image of the U.S.; and
3.the destiny under God to do this work
And see the painting by 19th century artist John Gast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:American_progress.JPG
