My local paper has a great cartoon on its editorial page this morning. Unfortunately, I can't find it online but it should be available tomorrow. I'll try to remember to post a link.

Anyway, one panel shows PCF-94 sailing merrily along (okay, not sailing, but proceeding, above the water, no less) with the label "Swift Boat" above it. The second panel shows a similar boat sitting still in the water with Kerry fishing off the back of the boat (I'm not a sailor so I'm just going to use the non-nautical description). The back of the boat is labelled "Counter-Attacks".

There was also a cartoon in the Washington Times a few weeks ago which showed Kerry in uniform on a Swift Boat, proudly piloting with his chest puffed up, labeled "Pro-War Kerry", about to run into an underwater mine labeled "Anti-War Kerry".

So when do we put that mine in the water?

I saw this on another forum. The good part is: it's from 1984....

www.coxandforkum.com always has good cartoons and commentary/blogging.

Check back a couple of weeks for some Swifts-related material.

Way cool, no matter what topic they take on. Smile

Boats, being a land-lubber myself, I thought pointy end referred to dem flying things, aero-planes, as in its good if the pointy end is forward and the shiny side down. Laughing

Was hoping to be able to get the cartoon to display but haven't had any luck.
