    This week's concept was actually last week's runner-up in the sketchbook.  While it would have been timelier right on the heels of the Congressional hearings, our insatiable oil addiction isn't going anywhere soon.  It's also an underlying cause for so many of our problems, from our entanglements in the Middle East to global warming.  So I went ahead with "The Hunger."  It's not the most sophisticated metaphor, but I also wanted a simple, striking visual after last week's text-heavy toon.

    Operation Iraqi liberation. [OIL] (0.00 / 0)
    Dearest Andrew . . .

    I love cosmic coincidences, synchronicity, and the ways in which life reveals we are all one.

    When I first saw this latest toon, I smiled.  Only yesterday, I too penned thoughts of American animals and their love of oil.  In my missive, America in Iraq; Bull in China Shop, I referenced the Cheney Energy Task Force, and the plan to profit from Iraqi oil fields.  I recall initiatives were proposed long before the date September 11, 2001 had a broader meaning in the minds of United States citizens.

    While our shared thought and time fascinates me, what wows me more is the reflection an acquaintance offered hours after your toon appeared.  

    The topic of conversation was not your editorial or my essay.  Yet . . . This friend shared stories and mentioned, originally the Bush Administration did not declare the battle Operation Iraqi Freedom.

    MR. FLEISCHER: Good afternoon.  Let me give you a report on the President's day.  The President this morning has spoken with three foreign leaders.  He began with Prime Minister Blair, where the two discussed the ongoing aspects of Operation Iraqi liberation.  [OIL]
