because of the faux controversy about the cartoon referenced below, we have an extra opinion page running tomorrow. more than 50 inches of letters. a staff editorial. a column from the editor in chief. another cartoon.

guns blazin', my friends.

the letters.
the staff editorial. (i wrote much of this.)
the editor's column.
the response cartoon. (the cartoon published small - we'll fix that as soon as we can.)

for good measure, check out the discussion on this cartoon: kusports.com and ketv.com

you know, sometimes i really love my job.

*UPDATE, oct. 6:
below are the pages themselves. these are jpeg images that link to .pdf copies of the double opinion page as it printed. i think the artwork, design and overall presentation looked pretty damn good.
