Open letter to readers

Apparently I seemed to have touched a nerve with that column. Did you see JoAnn Seufert's letter in the PRESS yesterday? Politics is always messy and emotional.

Let me be clear, I'm sure that Sarah Palin is a good person in many respects and a devout Christian as well. I think John McCain is a good person at heart in many respects as well. I just don't think either of them are right for our country at this time.

As a cartoonist and a political humor columnist, I use exaggeration and sarcasm. I know that isn't gentle as a lamb, but it's normal to be provocative and occasionally abrasive.

I apologize when that winds up being offensive to any other readers. I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions, hope to help inform those opinions, trigger both research and discussion, and encourage people to write to the paper with their opinions. Thank the Lord that we live in a nation where we the right to have and express differing opinions (for now).
