Vanity Fair Spoofs The New Yorker Cover
Posted by Shemuses from
Vanity Fair is getting in on the satire action. Taking its cue from Condé Nast neighbor, The New Yorker, the magazine creates a spoof on the infamous Art Spiegelman cartoon. Depicting John McCain with a walker and Cindy McCain with an armful of pill bottles, the Vanity Fair cover tries to draw parallels between its cover and the one satirizing the Obamas. Do you think it accomplishes the same goal? Is it funny? Are you as outraged? Tell us why or why not.

McCain's
Posted by Shemuses from
A big part of politics, aside from the candidates stumping from city to city, are the campaign's television advertisements. In some cases, these advertisements outlast the candidates and the race itself. Usually, the advertisements spotlight the candidates' interaction with the public and the issues of the day. That's why, the latest advertisement by the McCain campaign entitled "God's Children" is a puzzlement and a sad commentary on the state of the Republican Party, not to mention, an offensive piece of footage to all Latinos, whether Republican, Democrat or Independent...
