The point of political cartoons is to be able to speak a distinctly controversial point of view without much fear of backlash. The 'cartoon' part softens the impact of the point.
I know, I guess I think people take offense too easily over a controversial point if they won't print cartoons that make fun of it. oO

But notice that each one is saying something very distinct in its own right.
For example: "Iran is a sewer"; "Congress is backstabbing its own troops".

Well I don't completely get some of them, but I also don't get why they didn't publish them. They're just cartoons after all. XD

Well dang, they should have published them. They're hilarious. Refusing to print them just shows their lack of humor. :p

But black and white are so bland, man.
So is grey, for that matter.
Also I've been trolled. =D

You and your crazy black and white conservative-ness.
I'd rather see in shades of gray.

Some of those cartoons were awesome. And some were really on the money, haha.

Those made me laugh, for varying reasons of course. Gotta love them 'roos.
Be true, be you and of course, be otaku.
