Puzzle Description:

Republican Party Symbol, almost. Top half should be blue and bottom half red. Also stars are too hard to draw.

Most of the puzzle is easy, but the lower right corner is a bit tricky.

I found this one pretty hard. Twice I had to try some moves and reach a contradiction, then hit undo a bunch of times to get back.

pretty hard

Very appropriate substitution for the stars--especially with this administration.

It's definitely solvable, but it sure was tricky at the bottom right. Thanks Jan.

I miss Robert :(

Sorry... apparently I am not as big of a fan. :-(
#12: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Dec 24, 2008
Didn't find it that difficult. Must have been having a good night.
#13: Byrdie (byrdie) on Sep 15, 2009
Tricky litte puzzle to solve. Since both red and blue are available as colors, is there a reason you didn't do this in color? Was it to increase the difficulty?
#14: Jan Wolter (jan) on Sep 15, 2009
I don't think blue was available on this site at the time I did this puzzle. But anyway, I like black and white better.
#15: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 15, 2009
Ditto #14.
#16: Claudia DeVuono (cdevuono) on Dec 17, 2009
Too easy and much too insulting. Sorry, Jan, but you could use a little more tact.
#17: Jan Wolter (jan) on Dec 19, 2009 [SPOILER]
This was posted during the Bush years. Considering my feelings about that man, I'd have to consider this an example of truly awesome tact. I'm astonished that I resisted the temptation to alternate the dollar signs with crosses.
#18: Cro-Magnon (Hermit) on Dec 22, 2009
Wow.
:-O
#19: sandy beekman (sandyknitwit) on Oct 15, 2010
Ditto, Claudia!
#20: lynn burgess (linnynoeyebrows) on Nov 14, 2010
how stupid to put $ instead of stars.
#21: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Nov 14, 2010
Hey "linny," why do you have "no eyebrows?"
Did you: pluck them?
shave them?
wax them?
have laser hair removal?
Or did they fall out naturally (hypothyroidism, chemo, etc)?
#22: Byrdie (byrdie) on Nov 15, 2010
Methinks I can guess lynn's political bent ...
#23: Diana W (aeris) on Feb 3, 2011 [SPOILER]
I enjoyed the tricky logic at the end. I think I'll refrain from commenting politically...
#24: karl eicher (keicher) on Mar 26, 2011
wow, that is some biting political commentary.

i hope you can infer my biting sarcasm.
#25: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Apr 1, 2011 [SPOILER]
I am glad that political puzzles are very rare on this web site. We are united by our love of puzzles. Politics can only divide us. There are plenty of places on the net to hash all that out.

#26: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on May 31, 2011
I agree with 25.

Good puzzle, more accurate today then when it was first made!
#29: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jul 28, 2019
Jan, you made my day today...even after all these years and from the other side of the sun.

Politics need not divide us, but spur us on to deeper understandings and achievements. We here on this site should be united by our love of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, barring racism and other behavior barred by our Constitution. We do not have to agree on all things. We are free to comment on social and political issues.

If Jan thought GWB was bad he wouldn't even believe what we've got now. Oh well.

RIP Jan. The rest of us have to wait awhile. At least we've got puzzles in the meantime.

tongue-in-cheek...I thought the $$$ were appropriate for the GOP!
