And dang if the topic didn't come in the side door via the Robertson/Haiti/pact with the Devil fiasco (which I first read about over at JJP). Tom Meyer, who is actually one of my favorite living editorial cartoonists, included the Robertson moment in his latest cartoon, but failed to capture the, er, essence of 700 Club faithful sidekick Kristi Watts:
The depiction looks more like a side view of journalist and frequent Nation columnist Naomi Klein than Kristi Watts, if you ask me. Wha' hoppen? Why did Kristi's skin fade from minority status in the artist's conception? Meyer is darned good, but I don't think he's subtly suggesting she might as well be white from her reaction to Robertson's blather. What do you think?

P6 had to activate his devoweler (q.v.) just to keep the situation under control in the comments.
Well, not so much HAD to. I could easily have just deleted the reprobate's comments before anyone saw them.
But that is far less frustrating than seeing all your hard work rendered illegible.
My position is, if you come into my shop for the sole purpose of starting a flame war, my task is not to prove you wrong, or evil...it's to shut you the hell up. You can't reason with folks who intend to be unreasonable so why even try?
