On A Lighter Note
When US politics get to be too much I go with British satire at Newsbiscuit:
- Technology taking the fun out of country house murders, says Hercule Poirot
- New generation of missionaries sets sail for Third World to unspread word of Christianity
- France demands Al Qaeda repeat its terror threat – in French
Satire is under attack in the US. How can you compete with this ad that Jim DeRosa embedded of Christine O’Donnell.
Maybe it’s because I live in Southern Fundistan, but I don’t think dressing in black and being taped against a very dark background was a good idea for the message. At least she avoided using Mussorgski for background music.
