They love me! They really, really love<\/em> me!<\/strong><\/p>\n

After spending the better part of the past two or three months cranking ’em out every other week<\/strong> — including more goddamn’ oil spill cartoons than I care to think about — I decided to take a break and finish getting ready for my two-week trip to South Africa, which I just returned from this past weekend.<\/p>\n

So, the other night, while doing my normal rounds of rightist blog surfing for cheap laffs, what should I stumble over but this entry<\/a> at Michael Wolfe’s blog at americana83.com,<\/a> declaring the Teabaggers’ opposition is hypocritical and swearing all up and down that the Tea Party “Movement” isn’t racist, despite the recent Philadelphia rally<\/a> which was made of FAIL, the recent video-hacking antics of Little Andy Breitbart and the racist email blasting<\/a> of New York Gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino.<\/a><\/p>\n

I briefly considered writing to complain and to post a takedown notice under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, except that 1: parody, as I recall, falls under “fair use”, and 2: I was unable to type properly as I was laughing so hard, although not in the manner that Wolfe might have intended.<\/p>\n

So I finally decided, what the hell, man; why not keep it classy and be a good sport? And, besides, as they say, any publicity is good publicity. Thanks, Wolfe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
