Keeping pace with their history of reporting a load of crap,

Fox News boasts this lovely headline today on a "story" that

grabs the headline, but consists of just five sentences:

Is Obama the Divider-in-Chief?

I think my favorite part of this layout is the tag line "Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:" Yes, that is exactly what I would call this drivel. Fresh. New. Steaming even.

a profound moment of symmetry

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is the love child of George W. Bush and Phyllis Schlafly

I feel sure in saying that we as a nation/people/voters/lemmings are not intellectually ready for the satire intended on The New Yorker cover this week:

I mean, we just really aren't ready, or willing to see how ridiculous this topic actually looks when posed as a real news story every day on Fox News. There are too many Americans willing to fall for the easy pile-on mentality that has become our political environment. It's not that I agree with the decision to run this cover, (Lord knows it will be used against us) I just think that it should be more obvious to the editors that we can't understand this type of humor because it makes us think.

It's just pathetic that #1 this is happening in the first place and even needs to be a topic for discussion, and #2 in that light we are STILL too dumb to realize when we are being made fun of as a whole, and instead let the ignorant words "See! He is a terrorist!" slip from our lips.

We are so fucking rich.

Let the Games Begin!

Are you ready?
