#2 If a moderator would be kind enough to put a couple of returns in the list of emails to eliminate the stretching of the page, I would be greatly indebted to you. Semper Fidelis.

#3 But do note that the editor in question is an Air Force vet whose son is currently serving, not some ignorant, lefty MSM hack.

Those need not be mutually exclusive conditions. And ignorant, lefty and MSM hack are redundant.

#4 Fixed, Dopey Unaiting9905. I'm quite certain you'll never make that particular mistake again.

#5 He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
- W.Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 4

nuff said.

#6 My first thought was that the cartoon was deploring the predictable ignorance and self-absorption of the general population.
You could put a picture of George Washington in the cartoon and get the same response from The Kids.
Not a slam on Pop.
Overreaction.

#7 The Man, the Candidate.

H/T: Michelle Malkin who says this will help him to "take the Hill".

#8 To me, skateboarding youths do not know the JB cat wielding super-villians or uncle fester; artistically flawed to begin with IMHO...any other examples of mr. retired air force's work?

#9 "To me, the cartoon was meant as a comment on our locally ill-informed voters."

Someone please get the flamethrower out if Mr. Jennings' hands. He apparently doesn't know how to turn it off.

And if you want to make fun of local voters' ignorance, then do so. Don't poke fun at kids' ignorance, and don't use a caricature of a Marine who is running for Congress. Use some other object to help highlight their ignorance. Like Mr. Clean or something. In fact, if the locals are so ignorant, how are they supposed to understand this cartoon in the first place? No, they get it. And Jennings is playing on people's natural desire to either agree out of ignorance or to want to accept a BS apology just so the tensions will go away.

Jennings should just issue a forthright apology, not some BS excuse.

And that paper should get back to reporting the news and not herding the sheeple.

#11 ...patch over his right eye...

If it was over his left eye, he could be Moshe Dayan, another war vet hero.

#12 Hope he wins the election. Filner is an idiot who desperately needs to have his butt kicked out of office.

#13 Yep...Filner is a bully...and was charged with assault on a female airline employee...
