Today's Toles cartoon in the Washington (com)Post, entitled The 20th Hijacker Arrives, depicts the U.S. Capitol building being blown apart by "The Deficit," and with a sub-title, "Who Could've Foreseen?"

My local paper had a Toles strip of the Titanic sinking today. Either they offered an alternate tragedy or he's doing a series.

Still doesn't defend the action.

Got a link? Perhaps they offered a choice of human tragedies on which to blame the President.

Yes it appears that he was aware that some people may react stronger to the terrorist strike image. The Titanic image does not appear here (even on previous days):

And it does not appear on the Houston Comical's website either (http://www.chron.com/).

Actually, that Ucomics link has the Capitol bombed cartoon.

Toles is a disgusting punk. Editors don't have to agree with him. Neither do they have to run his spew. Like I said at the top, I'm not so angry at Toles as I am at the (com)Post -- DC's paper -- for running Tole's insipid, treasonous depiction of our Capitol building destroyed, in or out of the context of Sept. 11, and irrespective of politics.

These are hysterical bastard children of merchant princes, trolling for nickles and applause from stumbling fools whose intellectual legs are one shorter than the other, and crawl around in circles like dogs chasing their own scent.

I really don't like these people...

A Reminder of September 11 and why we are at war.

I thought it ironic that I came from that thread, to this...

At least Herblock could point to his senility as an excuse. This guy is just evil.

Lol on Herblock, who lived twenty years behind, and damned straight on this fool, Toles.
