Entry: America's First Affirmative Action Candidate Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/americas_first_affirmative_action_candidate#32992 Post contents: I'll meet your Dutch Muslim Cartoon with an Obama Flag Burnin Crypto Terrorist one and raise ya with a cartoon showing the media babblers and scribblers launching like Lemmings off the edge of the world in a Macy's Day parade of yammering hot air balloons. When satire and humor are considered dangerous, one can rest assured that the bipartisan leadership is comprised of a rather spectacular blending of larceny and righteousness. There is real art and craft here, a kind of venal professionalism...a Knighthood of Mountebankery that is a monument to the silly cant of Values Voting. After all, the public will only be pooched if its done politely. Aristotle's pithy quip that "Wit is cultured insolence" is lost on the current generation of people who appear to be a bit reamed out by Bad Behavior at the Highest Levels. People do not seem to care for laughing at the life boats coming to the rescue of the Titanic when said life boats seem preoccupied with too many leaks of their own. The comic aspects are over-ruled by the quality of the emergency at hand and a dawning recognition that prospects for survival are dim at best. Sent at: 2008 12 02
