They can't TOLERATE a political cartoon? I've seen thicker skin on a bowl of pudding.

Nope, not deeply offended. Not even slightly offended.

That cartoon is right on the money, actually. Thanks for the ping and the post !

That wasn't "B.C.", that was "Crock" ... the comic strip about the French Foreign Legion.

Ah... right you are. Vermin P. Crock - how could I forget? It's been years since that appeared in the local fishwrap. Looks like it is still circulated, though. I think the local paper dropped it in favor of "Curtis". (blech)

I know why I was thinking of B.C., though. The scimitar-toting guy was always on the receiving end of lightning bolts, courtesy of the desert "god" that he worshipped. I'm pretty sure that cartoonist borrowed the B.C. "ZOT!" sound-effect, just like the Admin Moderator here on FR has done. Anyway, thanks for the response.

Good post, and add Jews and all the other religions to the pot. Political humor is humor because of the ring of truth in the joke. I have no sympathy for those who can't take a well deserved ribbing.

I thought it was pretty funny.
