you really dont believe this do you? It had everything to do with our beloved President.

Still hilarious... but in bad taste.

i didn't find the cartoon to be funny at all. but my first thought when i saw some thinking it was bashing our president was that i thought the attack was on our congress, they're the ones who wrote the bill...
at any rate, in poor taste all things considered.

just read that the post apologized.

saying the cartoon was meant to mock the federal economic stimulus bill, but "to those who were offended by the image, we apologize.
and then i read this:

The Post is owned by News Corp., which also is the parent company of FOX News.

i didn't know that.

That's one of the reasons I take what they write with a grain of salt..much as the right treats the NY Times
