A political cartoon in the Wednesday, March 30th edition of the newspaper depicts the hands from Michaelangelo's Creation of Adam mural. Adam's hand is on the left, and God's hand reaches out to breathe life into him on the right. In the cartoon, the letters EGSD are written on the left hand. The county, Grand Foundation and names of the towns are on the right hand.
According to the newspaper, the cartoonist only wants to be referred to as "W.M.D." That's an interesting choice of letters. Most people in the U.S. think of weapons of mass destruction when they see those letters. I don't know if that's what is meant, but it's another oddity.
I don't know if the cartoon is a satirical indictment of the organizations represented, or a heartfelt rendering of what the artist thinks has been done with the $500,000 dollars given to the schools. I'd hope it's the former, because it would accurately portray how these organizations see themselves.
