MONKEY RANT
Editorial
cartoonists must be on the endangered species list
because
everyone is attacking them. One attempt at merging
a
monkey who attacked a human with the political rage on
the
stimulus package caused one New York cartoonist some grief.
So
what? It's opinion. It's art. It's artful opinion!!
It's
in the First Amendment. Read it before it gets banned, too.
Hahahaha! Pretty
darn funny if it wasn't cutting to close to the
Truth that Washington
politicians have no use for the media
except for propaganda.
So the critics of media have essentially
called out any
future monkey toons as being offensive. Offensive?
What is offensive?
One needs context
in order to judge if something is offensive.
If any attribution
towards monkeyism is offensive, well . . .
look at the
complete picture:
Caught with
your holier-than-thou pants down!
People will
see what they want to see in print.
Personal values
are more important to individuals
than the Big
Picture. Most people have forgotten that
editorial cartoonists
at a base level are meant to
offend someone
with their commentary. It is supposed
to make people
think about current issues not start
lynch mobs against
the messengers.
When society
was the subsistent, uneducated masses, early politicians
thought they
could control their districts of illiterate voters with money
and handouts
while they stole the poor dry. But the politicians loathed
the one thing
newspapers had back then: editorial cartoons brought
1000s of words
into focus to a readership that could not understand
the language
barriers.
If monkeys are
to banned from the editorial pages, what animal will be next?
Clearly not
the symbol of our current Congress!
No, Washington
D.C. insiders do not want commentators to mess up their good, old
fashion, excessive
pork spending spree in the name of saving the country from some
financial ills,
primarily caused by the same pork ladened politicians and their
fat cat lobbyist
interests. It is interesting to note that in the first 48 days of the Obama
administration,
the White House has treated the Press as a barn yard animal.
And the reporters
are just lapping up the slop in hopes of getting a scrap or two
from the President
at his next press briefing. Who is monkeying around with whom?
