No one’s listening: Top ten cartoons of the week

As the government shutdown enters its sixth week, Republicans and Democrats don't seem much closer to a solution both sides can agree on.

As Bob Englehart notes in his popular cartoon this week, we're not listening to one another. The loudest, harshest voices dominate the discussion, with one side yelling at the other, as Gary McCoy depicted in his funny toon.

Hopefully the sweeping Election Night Democrats had this week loosens things up in Washington so a deal can get done before planes start falling from the sky. Our cartoonists don't seem too optimistic about that.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
