those of you NOT from n.c may never have had the privilege of seeing the following editorial cartoon:

scene: jesse helms as a child, out behind the shed, where there are many overflowing, overcrowded pens stuffed full of very, very uncomfortable-seeming rabbits. he is doing nothing to ease their condition.

two adults are watching from around the corner of the shed. one says:

"poor jesse... he loves to see them born but he doesn't like to take care of them."
