The New Yorker has declined since the days of Joseph Mitchell and his contamporaries.As I said on PDD a "fist bump"is a Maury Povitch level item in the face of terrorism,economic instability,two wars,immigration issues,energy costs,and environmental dangers.
The satirical aspect will be missed by many if they don't go further into it.I don't want Obama to win,but I think it serves no purpose to insinuate he is a Moslem if he isn't.Without making a value judgment about Moslems,it just isn't true,so why bring it up?
And what's with the Sixties revolutionary shtick about the wife?I am concerned with her long association with Trinity Church,but I hardly think she's the new Angela Davis.
I think Obama's lack of experience,and far left positions are fair game and should be examined in detail.
