New Yorker Cover Featuring Barack Obama Continues Magazine's Perfect Streak of Publishing Unfunny, Confounding Cartoons
Conservative America — long-accustumed to reviling all things New York-related, unless they're being blown up by terrorists (in which case it adopts them away from actual New Yorkers) — doesn't quite know what to make of the newest issue of the New Yorker magazine.
On one hand, its cover has Barack Obama, dressed as a Muslim, in the Oval Office, standing before a portrait of Osama bin Laden and a burning American flag, giving the terrorist fist jab to America-hating wife Michelle, who's dressed in black militant fatigues. That all makes perfect sense.
On the other hand, Conservative America is pretty sure that there's some fairyish short story in there somewhere, along with some journalism and stuff that comes dangerously close to nuance. And it's not quite certain yet that this isn't some kind of homosexual, intelligentsia idea of satire that Conservative America doesn't quite get but knows that it hates.
Aaaahhh! Somebody tell Conservative America what to think. Conservative America get confused. Conservative America smash!

Here's a blog I wrote about the whole thing as well, called "New Yorker Declares Racism a Form of Comedy." It's at http://fakenewsandnotes.blogspot.com/
Hopefully, you like it.
Conservative America: The smoking gun — a real, genuine, Polaroid, showing the Obama's celebration at terrorist headquarters. Satire is The Devil's work. Ignore those claims.
The New Yorker is standing firm against fear-pandering, I think.
Still a sweet moment.
I hate all the candidates.
If all of them don't mind lying to get a job then I don't mind whatever or whoever anyone has to say about them.
Obama just has too many things against him including his type of friends, associates and his overseas upbringing and McCain is just a lapdog idiot.
Clinton just needs to go back home and keep an eye on her husband. He's probably out humping one of her staff right now.
Put Romney in there and maybe he would have a good enough business sense to get us out of this deep hole financially that our country has gotten us into.
Angela Davis hairdo, too.
