Response from Daniel Luzer on the Mother Jones blog regarding the Feb. 18 New York Post political cartoon by Sean Delonas that has some folks up in arms (yes, I'm a little behind the times on this) is the best response I've read so far:
"The truth is, it's not a good cartoon. Because it is an awkward attempt to combine two unrelated news stories, it doesn't resonate....You many not even get the cartoon at all (stimulus=monkey?), but that's understandable because it's not that funny; it's just not racist either. Sometimes a joke about monkeys is, well, just a joke about monkeys."
