Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Mother Jones illustrator Zina Saunders creates editorial animations riffing on the political news and current events of the week. In this week’s animation, Saunders takes on Michele Bachmann as she prepares to enter the Iowa caucuses. All of Bachmann’s quotes in the cartoon are actual statements by her, except for mixing up Iowa and Idaho. So far she’s confined her geographical gaffes to New Hampshire and Massachusetts. As always, that’s Saunders doing all the voices. —The Editors
