This cartoon blog is showing how lawmakers are always "shelving bills" because they are afraid of what it could be. This cartoon is playing off of their insecurities almost because they want to show the public how much they are afraid of change or something different. Also, this shows how some in Congress are very comfortable, and are not willing to compromise based off of what may happen due to passing certain bills or out of the fear of having something of theirs taken away. In the cartoon, it shows a bunch of older, white men: Congressmen obviously. They represent the typical Republican male, which is another thing that the author is taking a jab at.
