LOOKING over the e-mails I've received about two comics about the conception and death of Jesus that ran in this newspaper recently, I have come to the conclusion that a review of some basic matters is required. First, The Cavalier Daily is an independent student newspaper.
WHEN GOD told Mary he hadn't had a vasectomy in a Cavalier Daily comic two weeks ago, it was cast as a broader, week-long newspaper assault on Christianity.

TIME IS against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. With 10 months left in the Bush administration, the opportunity for a Palestinian and Israeli peace may soon pass her by.

Using preemption to justify invading Iraq or Iran is debatable. Using it to arrest allegedly crazed individuals who violate community laws is not.
LAST WEEK, The Cavalier Daily published at least six comics that made light of people's religious beliefs and practices.
