Because thank god Thanksgiving has nothing to do with immigration!

I look forward to the terrible apology from the editors who ran the cartoon.
What’s that? It’s already available?
It’s mostly a bizarre explanation on behalf of the racist cartoonist (who hasn’t issued his own terrible apology and, judging from his Twitter feed, isn’t likely to do so):
Gary did not intend to be racially insensitive in his attempt to express his strong views about President Barack Obama’s decision to temporarily prevent the deportation of millions of immigrants living and working illegally in the United States….
Cartoons are seldom intended to be read literally. And Gary did not intend this one to be viewed that way. He intended to illustrate the view of many conservatives and others that the president’s order will encourage more people to pour into the country illegally.
Despite the fact that good old Gary didn’t intend to be racially insensitive and that cartoons aren’t meant to be read literally, the Star decided to take the cartoon down. And not just the above cartoon. Also the edited cartoon they published when they first started hearing from readers who were offended by the racist cartoon — the one where they removed the mustache from the guy coming in the window.
Removing the cartoons, according to the Star‘s executive editor, “is not a comment on the issue of illegal immigration or a statement about Gary’s right to express his opinions strongly. We encourage and support diverse opinion. But the depictions in this case were inappropriate; his point could have been expressed in other ways.”
Like, you know, ways that aren’t so explicitly racist.

Today, thanks to this photo by Stephen Ausmus, we learned that carrots now come in nearly every color of the rainbow. We think that’s pretty awesome. This root vegetable rainbow is the result of a selective breeding program by researchers at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Domestic carrots have been selectively bred over the centuries in order to improve their taste, texture and size, but we had no idea that so many different color varieties exist.
