Pure genius. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing, or a bad thing, that the only journalist covering American Politics right now who really seems to get it has a show on COMEDY CENTRAL, but I guess it’s rather fitting.

sometimes, you just gotta believe…

If you haven’t heard yet, the new cover of The New Yorker features presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. It is causing controversy in the world of political media and people don’t know how to react so instead.. freak out! Guess they don’t understand the whole idea of SATIRE?

The illustration by Barry Blitt portrays the couple as terrorists who have taken over the Oval Office. It’s basically every smear tactic and rightwing claim about Obama illustrated together in a goofy satire. Last time I checked, The New Yorker is known for having an educated reader base. It’s not a terrible tabloid or biased news source.

Obama’s campaign thinks the cover is “tasteless and offensive” and really missed the humorous point of the illustration. Sorry Obama, no pounds for this one.

As many of you may know, comedian George Carlin died. This is a huge tragedy and his death is being mourned by anyone who ever experienced his talent.  Carlin worked with HBO for over thirty years and did fourteen solo comedy specials for the network. In respects to the icon, HBO is remembering Carlin this week with special encore presentations of his specials. His very first television special from 1977 titled “George Carlin at USC” will be presented as well as his last ever “It’s Bad For Ya” from earlier this year.

Here’s the Carlin special schedule for the week, if you’re lucky enough to have HBO you baller:

Wednesday June 25th:

8 pm George Carlin at USC, 9 pm George Carlin Again!, 11 pm Carlin at Carnegie, 12 am Carlin on Campus, 1 am Playin’ With Your Head

Thursday June 26th:

8 pm What Am I Doing in New Jersey?, 9 pm Doin’ It Again, 10 pm Jammin’ in New York, 11 pm Back in Town, 12 am You Are All Diseased, 1 am IT’S BAD FOR YA

AND another chance to see IT’S BAD FOR YA (his final stand-up) on Friday June 27th at 9 pm!

In honor of the smoke-filled skies around our office building and the soon to be damaged goods for sale in Paradise, CA, we present to you David Cross, as Tobias Funke, in Arrested Development.
