In the spirit

Who says religion and political cartoons don’t mix? A bounty of such blessings were bestowed this week. Rob Rogers couldn’t pass over the five-year mark of the Iraq war. Signe Wilkinson’s biblical imagery was the best of the flock of Barack Obama observations. And I confess to resurrecting a seasonal visual cliche but beg forgiveness because bracketology is indeed a religion in some parts. Week’s end saw Osama bin Laden renewing threats against Danish cartoonists for daring to depict the prophet Muhammad. We say, “No separation of church and statement.”
