"I find the cover funny - a clever observation on the hate and fear crowd." It's an editorial cartoon, what's the big deal?

That is so true. In Texas a "Black Hole" is now a racial slur!?! Who knew?

I would have voted for that one.

My mom is a quintessential christian conservative and I honestly think that she has bought into all the mass forwarded email hype so completely that if she had to choose between Satan and Obama, she'd go with the devil without a qualm.

In my world, a "black hole" in Texas is an oil well, and I wish that I had a few in my back yard! You may call me a "black hole" at you discretion, just send me the royalities check!

In my world, whenever I see a black hole, I run for the toilet paper.

Because he doesn’t want people to vote that way – duh? I’ve said on a couple of the threads that are floating around about this same topic – I lost count as to how many there are though because it looks like the same people are posting in them – that I think the cover is funny and I like Michelle’s afro. But I’m sure I’m going to be the only black person who feels this way. The rest of the blacks will be all upset that they actually drew Michelle with nappy hair.

I need to buy a copy of this New Yorker mag!! What if SNL did a skit like this? Get a sense of humour Obamaphiles! I also love this political cartoon of Obama as an Easter Island head statue!

The NEW YORKER Magazine leans far to the Left.
