That Obama-terrorist mag cover...it's cool

You're going to hear a lot of blather over the next 2-3 days about how outrageous this New Yorker cover is -- from pro-Obama types and mainstream media fuddy-duddies, about how this is a shameless ploy to sell magazines, yadda, yadda, yadda. I disagree -- I think this is great satire (that's what New Yorker cartoons are, remember?) of how absurd our political discourse has become, showing just how ridiculous the Obama slurs are by taking them all the way over the top. Do you honestly think there's one American who was planning to vote for Obama who will see this, say "Oh my God, they're terrorists!," and change his or her vote?

If there is, God help us.
