Regarding the Cartoon Controversy, I would have to go and dig up a bunch of links to the dozens of diaries ET published on the topic, for which I don't really have time right now. Maybe tonight. Did you read our debates?

You oversimplified it in your first comment, and so did I in my reply. The cartoons are tangential to the present discussion and I am not really interested in repeating all I said in the ET debates on the topic.
