The cartoon Doonesbury is not being run in many newspapers this week, including my own, because of language that would apparently offend readers. You know, phrases like "transvaginal probe." It's okay to pass a law requiring that women getting abortions have one, but you wouldn't want to offend people by using it in a cartoon, even a cartoon posted on the editorial page. That would probably ruin breakfast, wouldn't it?
