Happy Re: "The New York Post" Comics

While feeling very strongly about the Second Amendment and yielding place to none in my dislike of Sharpton (and Obama) I feel it incumbent to remark that the cartoon is in very poor taste and should not have been published.

One man's poor taste is another's favourite meal....or something like that

In any event, if only non-offensive cartoons were ever published all we would get would be a hideously anodyne press. Cartoons are to some extent the the graphic equivalent of poetry - they encapsulate a concept in a concentrated/abbreviated form.

We may not always like the message behind them, but at least they make us think and discuss, and that surely cannot be a bad result.

*Edit for Variol* Think of me as one of the Elder Gods whose benign presence and occasional posting enriches your existance.......or maybe not

A trained monkey could have written it up is the metaphor being attempted AFAICT. Coincidently the news was somebody's trained monkey ate a woman's face before being shot by police the day before the cartoon ran.
