Subject: 24 Star Letter (Tasteless Political-Toon))

The Washington Post featured a Tom Toles political cartoon that drew the attention and ire of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Here it is:

These good men on the JCS didn't let this tasteless cartoon pass w/o a response.

See the attached PDF document containing a scanned copy of their letter that was delivered to the Washington Post.

Note that ALL signed. Most likely SECDEF Rumsfeld wishes he could have. As I wish I could have.

NOTE: The Washington Post has responded saying they are processing the the JCS letter and will respond. It should be interesting to see their response which is expected to be in their Thursday edition.

This insult to our nation's warriors deserves wide dissemination. PLEASE consider passing it on.

If the Tom Toles and the Washington Post have you fired up over this one, Esoteric * Diatribe suggests the following:

1. Cancel your subscription
2. Write an angry letter to the editor
3. Write about this story to your friends via email
4. Write a post in a blog, journal, etc
5. Leave a comment on blogs that write about it
6. Trackback to to others who write about it.
7. GoogleBomb the Washington Post labeling it
a tasteless unpatriotic rag

If that doesn't make you feel better, just do some push-ups or go jogging. How will that make you feel better? It probably won't, but at least you'll get some excercise.
