Cigarettes Vs. Gasoline

Funny how the price of a gallon of gasoline and the price of a pack of cigarettes always seem to be the same.....no matter how ridiculous the price.

Must Have Gone Over Our Heads

To the ever so sophisticated folks at The New Yorker magazine, it's probably no surprise that their cover depicting the Obamas as terrorists created a controversy. After all, most of us have little understanding of the highly nuanced satire appreciated (almost exclusively) by the northeastern elite.

For the dozen or so people sophisticated enough to have actually read the article referenced by the cover picture, it must have been quite a clever piece discussing how the "little people" are so easily mislead by vicious rumors about Barack Obama - rumors, by the way, that most of us haven't even heard before.

No harm done, though.....all the TV news channels have been busily explaining the actual intent of the magazine to us non-nuanced rubes.

Be sure to get your souvenir copy while they last.
