1. Sometimes it is hard to look at the mirror when it is reflecting the truth you don't want to admit.

2. Ran in the Chicago Tribune today, and they have some history in cutting Doonesbury.

Whose delicate sensibilities is Arkansas Democrat-Gazette trying to protect?

8. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is a right-wing rag

I long for the days when the Gazette was an independent, liberal-leaning paper.

3. Arkansas Democrat-Gazette??

Must have been named during the Classic "Southern Democrat" era; before the racist bastards slithered over to hide under the Republican banner, where they, fermenting in their bile, transmorphed into the Tea Party.

4. Not the first time.

Probably, not the last.

When I go visit friends deep in Newton County, I have to drive past several Confederate battle flags. On flagpoles, in windows -- just about everywhere.

5. Well then, one would think they would be embracing this week's comic strip.

9. Only if

the editorial staff at the Times had misunderstood the strip and failed to block it?

Actually, some would have gotten it. The letters to the editor would have been interesting.

6. I saw it in the Houston Chronicle

It's a Hearst Corporation paper.
