“With all this financial panicking going on, President Bush held a press conference and told everyone to take a deep breath. That’s a good advice, huh?

Now, the Republicans are trying to get us to vote for McCain, whose wife owns of one of the largest beer distributorships in the […]
This cartoon is from April, but it is similar in nature to The New Yorker cover: © Ruben Bolling Ruben has an excellent article talking about satire and the importance of satirical intent.
