Obama & The New Yorker Magazine

Satire or caricature is at its funniest when it is nearest the truth or its possibility of truth. And so the latest New Yorker magazine cover of Barack Obama dressed in traditional African-Kenyan clothing joined by Michelle clad in a circa 1960s urban guerilla outfit meet the test of funny and near and or truthful caricature/satire. It is truthful in an over-the-top depiction and scores a laugh for the non-PC hungry . The setting is in the Oval Office. The fireplace has a burning American flag that is below a hanging picture of Osama bin Laden. The Obamas are fist-butting in a sly fashion.

Some were scandalized and shocked. But anyone who can't stand the truth of caricature probably can't stand truth in many other forms either. And that includes the Obamas. All races have caricatures or stereotypical images. The only race that resents caricature to the point of private organizations that expose and badger critical observers are the Jews. And for all their protests they are still going extinct.

McCain's Co-Chair & Wife And The "Enron Loophole"

Who created the "Enron loophole" which was the Trojan Horse for the subsequent oil futures manipulation? John McCain's "national co-chair" former Texas Senator Phil Gramm says in a June 13, 2008 letter issued by McCain headquarters that it wasn't him. The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 is the bill that he sponsored. The bill contained the "Enron loophole" but Gramm says that idea came from another politician.

Hey Phil , what about the original "Enron loophole" that your wife Wendy L. Gramm granted when she was the Chairwoman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commision in 1991? Her "executive order" exempted Enron from "postion limits" and the rest is history.

Were you talking to your wife at that time?

Heraclitus & Hillary Clinton

The 6th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus said," Our fate isn't written in our stars but in our character".

And so Hillary's secret wishing on a star about a Robert Kennedy June timetable " assassination" of Barack Obama fated her to an " obliteration" of her political chances in the democratic nomination race . Character matters. When one pursues "obliteration" -as was Hillary's warning to Iran -obliteration may be the puruers fate.
