reynoldswrite: you mean the one you taped to your cash register? I hadn't noticed.
obamamamablog: the Bible says many a true word was spoken in jest.
reynoldswrite: that's an old english proverb...not in the bible.
obamamamablog: well, you hadn't been by lately. I was just wondering if the poster made you uncomfortable.
reynoldswrite: what's to be uncomfortable about? No truth in it. anyone that wants to believe it, more power to them.
obamamamablog: somebody did the same thing about mccain.
reynoldswrite: no--the one about mccain is a real spoof. it has cindy mccain with an armload of stolen prescriptions and there's a constitution of the united states burning in the fireplace. see, there's some basis for that. which makes it satire. there is no basis for any of the obama stuff that was in the new yorker cover.
obamamamablog: so the mccain cover's okay but the obama cover is not.
reynoldswrite: the mccain cover in vanity fair is satire because it contains truth. the obama cover in new yorker is not satire because it's totally false.
obamamamablog: that sounds a little one-sided to me.
reynoldswrite: if you want to post satire on your cash register, then take down the new yorker and post vanity fair.
obamamamablog: that mccain cover is absurd.
reynoldswrite: no the obama cover is absurd. the mccain cover has some truth in it.
obamamamablog: they should ban them all.
reynoldswrite: no, that's freedom of speech. any lunatic, any non-student of history, any low-information editor or voter, has the right to publish their views. it's just surprising sometimes how ill-informed some editors and reporters are. and the people who eat at your restaurant.
obamamamablog: don't start with my customers. they're like family. you, too. been missing you. fried chicken today
