Now the world thinks Hmm, New Yorker Magazine publishes satire that isn't funny.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

LARRY KING, HOST: That "New Yorker" cover which depicts you and your wife, and you dressed in a Muslim outfit, your wife in a kind of military outfit, Osama bin Laden's picture burning, what do you make of that?
The flag is burning.

If it were funny, I think there'd be less negativity. It's just not funny and it's a blatant publicity stunt."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Jon Stewart had a hilarious reaction to this. Seeing Obama's response was that it was "tasteless and offensive", Stewart said Obama's response should have been, "I don't find the cartoon depicting me as a Muslim extremist as offensive, because you know who gets offended by cartoons? Muslim extremists."

Seeing how much press this is getting, it occurs to me that it's great for Obama -- not just because it gets him some sympathy, but because (1) it gives Obama a chance to address all those inane rumors without bringing them up himself, and (2) any time any of those rumors come up from now on, the general reaction is going to be "not this bull**** again!" I don't think the New Yorker intended to give him this kind of gift, but he definitely scores."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

However, I was curious to see how our atheist liberal set would respond to that cartoon. Lots of negativitty (sp?) for a joke. Folks take some things more seriously than I do, I guess.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

If they wanted to use such a blunt approach to it, they might as well have turned him into a full-on thick-lipped minstrel caricature, and pictured him on his porch in dungarees eating watermelon, while rolling his eyes fearfully.

The new New Yorker cover mocks McCain.
It too is not funny--especially showing Mrs. McCain with vials of pills.
