Even the "liberal" Washington Post practiced censorship today. The publisher (I believe) offered an older strip with today's date "pasted on".

The offending strip:



Washington Post (sloppily redated):

2. Sheesh.... that's all it was?
I thought it was something really off the charts.... Yet, they couldn't wait to go into detail about Clinton/Monica's exploits, Ken Starr's explicit tome.... the cigar....

What a bizarro world.

4. Besides, we had hundreds of posts in DU about

7. Orlando Slantinel carried it.
Chicago owned Tribune rag.........maybe there's hope, maybe they were asleep, maybe they're health conscious..............I know that they're not human. This is good news for insurance companies, that's probably the connection. Higher profits from self abuse, this theme literally sings to the black-hearted capitalist that lurks deep within my soul. Screw the fundies, we're talking money here.
