Comics Update

I might have to make this a weekly feature or something. First off, Sunday witnessed a rare and historic event: Doonesbury was actually funny

Dilbert was also particularly good.

Now that I've shown some strips with good humor, it's time to smush those good feelings with a politically-oriented Non Sequitur cartoon (and in the funnies too!).

OK, so in the author's universe the Spanish Inquisition (i.e., state-sponsored religious terrorism) = the War on Terror (i.e., a fight against state-sponsored religious terrorism). If he even bothered to examine his own cartoon he'd seen the difference between real torture (involving physical pain a la the rack, the blade over the tortured one's head, and the boiling oil) and taking pictures of naked people. I mean, certainly what they did was wrong, and I think it was utterly foolish for Rush Limbaugh to call it "blowing off steam," but it's not torture.
