State of the Union
The State of the Union address brought many comments from journalists, but I especially enjoyed the political cartoons. Dwayne Powell of the Raleigh News and Observer reminded us that there's a lot of behind-the-scenes work before the delivery of the address.
Editorial cartoonists have a knack for being able to give a subtle nudge to the ribs while they take dead aim at the tough issues. The work they do probably chronicles at least as much of our nation's history as presidential speeches do. So it's nice to see them take it full circle by giving a nod of amusement to those who write and deliver the speeches.
