Thanks for the heads up!

Marland is a free-lancer. He's a terrific cartoonist, and we've been lucky to have him on the Monitor's editorial pages for nearly20 years. One reason Marland has been so good is that we allow him free expression. A cartoonist needs to be able to do two things, to draw and to think.

This sounds more like a tribute to Marland rather than a real apology.

The views Marland expresses often agree with the Monitor's editorial positions, but not always. They are his views, not ours. We have declined to run a cartoon or two over the years because we found them tasteless, but this has been a rare occurrence.

That they have declined to run a cartoon or two during 20 years tells me they pretty much agree with his views.
