My hometown newspaper likes running bizarre stories which I don't see elsewhere, so if you guys have already heard about the Iranian cartoon controversy, I apologize. The whole situation is too weird to be true. I went online and actually found the original cartoon. As you can see, it says "Roosevelt" pretty plainly, so I don't know if the newspaper just deleted that or if people didn't care about historical inaccuracy. I must admit that the supreme court justice looks like he could be an ayatollah if given half a chance. I'm not up on my legal symbolism -- are judges supposed to wield swords?
