Irony In The New Yorker Cover Flap

Many on the left are upset about the recent New Yorker cover that depicts Obama as a terrorist inside the White House. They argue that idiots (a category that does not include them) will see the cover and think it is serious. I have serious doubts about that, but lets put those doubts aside for a minute.

All of this still assumes that "idiots" read the New Yorker, or even look at it. Have you been to a gas station in a rural area? The New Yorker is not on the shelf. Even if it is, it is in the back behind the magazines that the customers want to read.

News Flash: People in Dothan, Alabama don't care to read a magazine titled The New Yorker. You just think they do because you are a New Yorker.
