Drawing weapons

Cartoonists, wielding our mightier-than-the-sword weapon of choice, went after WMD this week. Yet another mass shooting in a tragic season of spree fever had Matt Davies fingering the gun lobby. Tom Toles went ballistic, lamenting the lame international response to Kim Jong Il’s ill-fated satellite (or was it?) launch. And I took aim at targeted military cuts with an in-your-face rendition of the president’s just deserts. I gotta stop being so cynical -- or at least slow the rate of increase.
