I like Ballard Street. The characters drawn by Jerry Van Amerongen are
charming, and the whimsical approach to daily life sometimes hits home
with a bang... especially the comics about the superiority of household
pets.

Today's comic, however, demonstrates Van Amerongen's message to
"single-issue interest groups."



I just heard (on MSNBC) about a new group called Mothers Against Illegal Aliens.

Another single-issue interest group designed to promote a wedge issue or
an important consensus-building organization to improve the human condition?

Alas, the interpretation (like the message of the comic) rests with the reader.

When I visited the MAIA website, I saw scaremongers masquerading as concerned
mothers.

I wonder what freepers saw.
