Elmer Fudd is back to his gun-toting ways again and back to shooting at Bugs Bunny with his hunting rifle in the new season on HBO Max after losing his guns in last year’s Looney Tunes Cartoons.

Looney Tunes Cartoons returned on HBO Max this week...

We understand that Barack Obama wants Albert Gore to serve as his environmental advisor. All the carnival barkers, medicine show proprietors, and rainmakers seem to be getting together in the same circus tent, and the price of admission is more than the American people can afford. For reference, a rainmaker was a charlatan who would visit desperate communities during droughts. He would display an impressive array of regalia, which might have included artifacts that he had supposedly obtained from Native American medicine men, and offer to make it rain–for a price.
