Slate has collected all of the day’s editorial cartoons. You know, a cartoonist can really make an event hit home in a way that video footage cannot. I really found myself getting choked up at a lot of these. A lot of cartoonists used the theme of the Statue of Liberty sobbing and averting her eyes… but there were two among the lot that show her still standing there, proud and defiant. I like those the best.
