before that, i'd not thought it possible to go in reverse for so very long.

is exactly correct about this. If such a cartoon were presented with some other minority the editors surely would have killed the cartoon before it ever made it into the paper.

Susannah points out the Daily Grind which is all very well and good but the site doesn't have much value since it is designed to actually prevent you from reading it.

1. First it has one of those disclaimers because it has, or may have, some nudity or penetration (gasp) and so you have to click through to get to the actual reading material. Now I don't have any pre-determined problem with a splash screen but all things being equal a splash screen should at least be entertaining or have some sort of "cool" quotient. Perhaps Pornblography does actually have some sort of purient photography or videos or something but the legalese at the front does seem to be overkill.

2. Second the web page is basically built to prevent you from actually reading it. The content is not presented in any syndicated form so the reader is forced to peruse it through the designers interface. The interface leaves much to be desired. Not only is the content presented in a framed window which only covers a percentage of the browser window but it has some kind of nifty-jerky javascript scroll bar which is so sluggish it makes it physically painful to try and actually read.

Even Georgia abortion opponents are criticizing a bill that would force women who want an abortion to go through a trial and have a judge sign a death warrant for an "execution."
