200. My letter....
The cartoon depicting the "Stimulus Bill" writer as a Chimp gunned down by the police is appalling. Considering that Pres. Obama, our first African-American President has said himself that this was his bill makes the historical racial implications that the illustration connotes beyond grotesque, as does the depiction of an assassination. I understand that some will pretend that the toon has nothing to do with our President but they would be badly lying.

In 2009, as a nation, we must do better than finding humor in police action, dead animals, and our dire economic predicament. Whomever had the brain fart to come up with this editorial cartoon should find him or herself standing in a job fair line that snakes around the block while drawing their up their plan on how they will be paying next month's bills. In otherwords, I am totally disgusted.

Respectfully,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
