Site Notes Potentially Offensive Jesus Cartoons in the UVA Student Newspaper

A site called RedState, which by the name I assume skews to the American conservative, has drawn attention to a pair of comics by a student cartoonist named Grant Woolard in a feature called Quirksmith that runs in the University of Virginia newspaper. This interests me because 1) student newspapers were a hopping center of debate and boundary-pushing during last school year's controversy surrounding the Prophet Muhammed cartoons, and 2) because many political observers feel that conservatives will beat the culture wars drum as loud as they can this Fall with mid-term elections coming.

You can see the offensive cartoons by scrolling down here and here. Strangely, the feature above Quirksmith featured Jesus one of those days and didn't get mentioned. That one came much closer to making me laugh, so maybe there was a humor dispensation.
