20. There's A Line That's Been Crossed Here...
Yes, political cartoons generally are considered satire, and for the most part that is exactly how I view them. I can laugh at a funny Clinton cartoon if it's done well. But this is not a gentle jab at a news headline or pundit-buzz item...this was references that showed hate and a mean-spiritedness that I hadn't seen in Higgins before.

I'd gladly discuss with someone from that publication more reasons why we have cancelled, but just need to get to a pair of eyes, a decission maker and see if there's a response. This is intended to establish dialogue and see what happens from there.

I'm not looking for a LTTE here, but to express genuine outrage at what both my wife and I see as a real right wing slant in this publication of late and not worthy of the $300 or so dollars a year I spend on our subscription.
