Political cartoons with perspective

Overwhelmed by all the controversy about gun control, immigration reform, the Boys Scouts of America, Sarah Palin, etc., etc, etc., I've selected the following cartoons on the basis of the viewpoints they present.  Their subjects are still based on recent news.

From About.com here's a cartoon by David Fitzsimmons:

Published at TheWeek is this cartoon by Eric Allie.  (Don't get me wrong -- I think it's great that we've finally got something that addresses health care.  But it's a first step and needs refining.)

There are many cartoons about gun control being published right now; this one at U.S. News & World Report and by Walt Handelsman may capture the basic problem.

From Time Magazine is this cartoon by Mike Luckovich, because it made me laugh.

And that's it for today, folks.
