    Racist "Stimulus" Cartoon Unnerves NYC

    New Yorkers are outraged this afternoon.  The New York Post published a cartoon depicting two NYPD white police officers shooting [to death] a black chimpanzee on a city sidewalk.  The caption above the cartoon reads:  They'll Have to Find Someone Else to Write the Next Stimulus Bill.  Hey, I know the Republicans refused to support Obama's Stimulus Package and I know millions of Americans have been bamboozled by a tradition of blatant racism even in the 21st century, but this is horridly ridiculous.  And I'm sorry, there's no way to interpret a cartoon like this except as racist filth.  Murder, Stimulus Bill, White Cops?  The cartoonist and the newspaper should be bulldozed.
