In matters that have nothing to do with this week's cartoon, a small contingent from the Westboro Batshit Church has been picketing churches, schools and other sites in my neck of the woods yesterday and today. Their targets included the high school just two blocks from where I work; their picketing was planned for dismissal time, so the school let out two hours early.
I opted not to take part in the spectacle, although some people from work did take the time to counter protest the Westboro Clan in the chilly drizzle. (Beth A. Gilmore set up
a Facebook page on the Racine counter-protesters' behalf; the Racine
Journal Times's coverage of the Westborg and the counter-protests at St. Lucy's afternoon mass
is here.)
