Come on Jolly, that comparison isn't really fair. Mad magazine is actually funny and the satire sometimes makes a cogent point.

Well, I did once date a Schwartz who was a Lutheran, and not a convert.

Some Swartz(es) get very edgy when they're mistaken for Schwartz(es) and make a point of pronouncing their names without the beginning "sh" sound.

These anti-Semitic German types forget that "S" in German is a "sh" sound unless you come from Hamburg (I think), where it is an "s" sound.

Maybe Dinesh should spell his name Dines. But then he'd be mistaken for a verb.

I would be remiss to leave this topic without pausing for a moment to wonder how the fuck "American exceptionalism" went from a shorthand perjorative for insisting upon a double standard so as to justify the nightmares we created in Vietnam to a cause for the thumping of chests and the bellowing of initials (U----S----A!...U.---S....etc.)

In reply to What, you missed the movie?

As you may recall, Newt took up this theme for a while, but seems to have been smart enough to have dropped it.

That said, I met a number of seemingly smart conservatives who urged me to see the movie and accused me of not being open-minded when I said I'd take a pass.

It was in the same category as that other racist movie making the conservative rounds-- maybe produced by Newt--called something like The Obsession. That's not it, but it's something like it.

It's amazing these people walk upright.

To paraphrase a usage from a different venue, D'Souza (as a thinker) is not fit to wipe Edward Said's ass...

In reply to I read his book What's So

What, you missed the movie?

D'Souza discusses Obama's father, Barack Obama, Sr., and what D'Souza describes as Obama Sr.'s anti-colonialist views of the British Empire. This, according to D'Souza, explains why Obama supposedly rejects American exceptionalism and why D'Souza believes he is attempting to "reshape America." D'Souza delves into what he terms the "founding fathers" from Obama's past, including Frank Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Edward Said, and Roberto Unger.
