Subject: RE: BS: Tasteless and Offensive New Yorker?
And I'm craven, too!

The only person with a right to be offended by this cover is Angela Davis.

Put me in the column marked "Americans are too stupid and lazy to get it".

"Some of you remind me of Muslims offended by a Mohammed cartoon."

I think you will find the group of people who find the cover offensive to be the same group of people who will be voting for Obama.

But just to prove me wrong, if you find this cover offensive and plan to vote for McCain, please raise your hand.

If you think the New Yorker is painful reading, whatever you do--steer clear of Huffington Post. Wretched stuff.

I find those who are offended by the cover are far too easily offended. We've Mississippi river flood damage, Bush lifting the ban on off-shore oil drilling, hungry and homeless people in our very midst, the economy tanked, multiple war fronts in a pointless, useless war...

And you are offended by a not very clever New Yorker cover?
