UnF-ingbelievable Editorial cartoon in the Chi. Sun-Times!!!!

[chiburb]

I can't link to it, so you'll have to trust me. Jack Higgins may be syndicated, so look for it in your Sunday paper:

1st panel:
A dead soldier, dripping blood, with the words "Drip, drip, drip" 5 times.
2nd panel:
Laura & George in bed:
"George! How can you sleep with all that noise?!"
"Just pretend it's oil and go back to sleep."

Especially impressive since the Sun-Times is owned by right-wing Hollinger out of Canada!

2. Bless you, sgr2!

I even did a search at the Sun-Times but couldn't find it. Maybe I screwed up, but you came to the rescue.

Higgins is the LAST one to rip a repuke! I see this as good news...

15. This rivals some of the cartoons about LBJ during Vietnam...

4. OMG! Too bad we can't pass that one around the internet!

Sad but True!

Oh Boy!

[prolesunited]

5. Umm...

Why can't we pass it around in our e-mails?

[Cha]

7. I meant because I thought it couldn't be linked that we..

couldn't pass it around..but I see sgr has found it now!!

So we can pass it around!
I think it should be seen by as many People as possible.

[Cha]

6. I see it's being passed as I type!

Thanks sgr!

8. Conrad Black, CEO Hollinger International, owns the Chicago Tribune

Conrad Black, CEO Hollinger International, owns the Chicago Tribune, not the Chicago Sun Times.

Anyhoo, Black is in dire financial straits and he may be forced to sell some of his holdings, including the Chicago Tribune and the Jerusalem Post.

[chiburb]

10. No, you're wrong....

Hollinger owns the Sun-Times, bought it from Rupert Murdoch. The Tribune is owned by Tribune Holdings, owners of WGN (tv and radio), and the Chicago Cubs.

[chiburb]

11. Tribune also owns...

The Baltimore Sun and LA Times.

[prolesunited]

16. No, it is the Sun-Times

Here's a list of holdings
http://www.suntimes.com/geninfo/hollinger.html

The Chicago Sun-Times is part of Hollinger International Inc., whose online newspapers and holdings include:

The Jerusalem Post
Jerusalem, Israel

Both Richard Perle and Henry Kissinger serve on the board.

9. Brilliant

Wow.

[aquart]

12. Isn't Perle on the Hollinger board?

Yoicks.

[chiburb]

13. He at least is on the board of the

Jerusalem Post.

14. defiinitely in the next CARTOONS!

could be the drip drip drip drip drip edition!

17. If we're counting words today -

There are 23 words in that cartoon and some lines and shading - it doesn't take much to pack a punch. Congratulations to the people of American for waking up and using their brains and hearts instead of being robot head nodders!

18. Bump for the morning crowd! n/t

.

[MetaTrope]

19. Obviously not an editorial product of the Sun-Times

Which has consistently run the most egregriously bloodthirsty banner headlines I've seen (e.g., "WE GOT 'EM ON THE RUN!") through the debacles in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

[chiburb]

20. You're right.

This takes some pretty big cajones on Higgin's part. He is going against Sir Conrad Black's agenda with this cartoon. I'm hoping he's too popular and entrenched to be shown the door...

[Isome]

21. You can...

.::click here::. Then scroll down and click on Higgins' name (on the left side of the page). I think that's the most direct route to it.

It's raw... absolutely raw! Thanks for the heads up.
