[net.comics] "Doonesbury" assertion deemed incorrect

I disagree with a previous poster's comment that Trudeau now does "just"
liberal cartoons.  Consider this recent strip (pinned to my bulletin board):

    Rev. Sloane:   
       "So you have a family in New York.  That's good.  That could be helpful.
	    Now, why did you flee to America?"
    Refugee: "To escape political repression in Nicaragua."
    Rev. Sloane:
       "You mean, El Salvador.  To escape political repression in El Salvador."
    Refugee:  "No, Nicaragua."
    Rev. Sloane:
       "{sigh}  That's a problem.  My funding comes from liberation theologians.
        Nicaragua is supposed to be free now."
    Refugee:  "Ok, El Salvador."
    Rev. Sloane (smiling):   "El Salvador, eh?  You poor devil!"
