Jack Elrod, the cartoonist of the long-running Mark Trail comic strip, doesn't have it out for politicians, even though they are the evildoers in his current story line about hunting tame deer. "I didn't even think about it," he says, when asked why he has a senator and gubernatorial candidate hunting fenced-in animals. Instead he was more focused on his simple message: "It's not a good idea to adopt wild deer."

It's just an interesting story regardless of the people involved----Senator, Political hopeful, baseball player, zillionaire, religious---but could you image the steam if the people involved had been Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics or Religious Group members.
