Funny Picture of the Day

Supposedly it's not a fake, unlike the honorable mention (see background story here).

UPDATE: Witty comment - "Remember the scene in “Blazing Saddles” where Cleavon Little got some whites led by Slim Pickens to show them how to “sing black” with their version of “Camptown Races”? In this case, the cartoonist is Slim Pickens, showing us what it’s like to “think conservative”, but as in the movie, the joke’s on him."

Great analogy, but the actor in question was Burton Gilliam, not Slim Pickens. Anyway, I smell Hillary.

Satiring politics of scare indeed.
Shame on The New Yorker.

It is supposed to be extreme satire I think. The New Yorker is known for that - now if that were on the cover of the National Review, things would be different.

We talked about this in class today. I wouldn't have known about it if I wouldn't have read it on your blog, so, thanks!
