Controversial Cartoons: Burn More Jews, The President’s Imaginary Friend

* a Jewish member of the newspaper staff at Middle Tennessee State University defends the right of a cartoonist making a satirical point even when the surface elements speak to the sorts of bigotry she has suffered. This is so reasonable and admirable I'm pretty certain this young person has no future in journalism.

* Daryl Cagle interviews the cartoonist Mr. Fish in the November 7 entry at his blog about a cartoon in which President Bush's "imaginary friend" is Jesus. Mr. Fish says that he's been able to start a dialog with the vast majority of people writing in to complain, although my guess is that some of that has to do with a general inability to stay upset with someone sporting the delightful name of Mr. Fish.
