Don't
Tell Me Who To Hate

 Long
Story Short: Honky Mofo Gets His Liberal
Guilt On.
I
received an email today from a reader who
considered me a racist because of this
cartoon I'd crafted earlier.
Yes, that's why I'm backing Barack Obama,
because I'm such a racist.
The cartoon is, if you read it carefully,
is about how silly the creation story is.
If, as the faithful fervently believe, God
is responsible for everything then he purposely
imbued us
all with intolerance, even creating black
people specifically for white people to focus
their small-minded vindictiveness upon.
Gee, thanks God.
I shall try to be as clear as possible on
this to anyone who cares: Stupidity comes
in
all
colors.
Now, rather than go on an extended rant I
will defer to someone much wiser and funnier....
in this case, Bill Maher. Watch the youtube
video below from his 9-26-08 show to see
what I
mean.
Take it way, Bill!

One more thing... I get emails occasionally
asking why I don't avail myself of all the
sweet political fruit literally dripping
off the media trees in order to score a sharp,
rehetorical mark on all the Republican boobs
out there.
There are two reasons, the first being that
I prefer to deal in much larger issues like
war, poverty,
ecology, etc. rather than topical matters
like lipstick on pigs or the relative proximity
of Russia
to
Wasilla,
Alaska. I prefer to create gags that will
resonate long after I'm gone. Sue me.
The second reason is that I avoid caricature
at all costs. It's not that I'm incapable
of exaggerating a person's appearance for
comic
effect, it's
just that I consider the result just one
step up from the toxic scribbling you find
on bathroom stalls. 'Nuff said, 'kay?
