47. it's partially a tempest in a teapot
and partially an over-reaction of the media (imagine that! ) Sorry for the head-banging, but....


I think it's that I've been reading the NY since my mom used to get it in the 60s when very few people did, and I think their covers are some of the most complex, funny, biting pieces of art, more than most magazines.

And I think this is a very clever way to poke fun at the right, and poke a little fun at Obama as well (which apparently no (white) comedian, etc has been able to do so far, from what I have read.

I think it is so absurd a satire, that it will have the opposite effect of the one that you are talking about. JMO

so we will have to leave it at that!


:hi:

also, here's a cool article from one of our liberal Af-Am columnists here....
