Political Satire or a Crude Attempt at Controversy

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Clearly Jesse is jealous of the buzz that Obama has created with his campaign. Jessie certainly didn't get this much attention when he ran, that is for sure.

I want to paint a couple of pictures when I think of this incident. Picture the sun(Obama) rising in the sky, and the moon(Jessie) wanting to remain in the sky, even though night time is over. As the sun shines brighter and brighter, the moon get's dimmer and dimmer. At some point it is so dim it doesn't matter if the moon will not set willingly.

I picture a relay runner, baton in hand crossing the point where he should have done a hand off, but fails to do it and keeps running. Much to his dismay the relay partner he passes up catches him, takes the baton, and runs like the wind leaving him in the dust.

As far as the New Yorker front page....as a New Yorker(doesn't matter that live in Cali, I will always be a New Yorker) I expect nothing less than that tasteless picture from them. Will it sell mags, yep, and that is the desired effect of creating controversy. Why they had to go there, I don't know. What I do know is that this is going to give ammo to everyone who thinks that picture is actually valid.
