NYTimes Staffers Riot to Protest Sarkozy Election

Wonk's been gone while, partially due to travel and partially due to an ongoing, botched installation of a new Verizon DSL line. Erm, botched on a self-install by yours truly, not Verizon. But we'll figure it out, and Luther has been ably holding down the fort.

Meanwhile, to celebrate the election of France's new, pro-American (albeit somewhat "green") President Sarkozy, here's a nifty grafik we found on PowerLine. Seems not only freeloading French leftists are rioting at this affront to their intellectual superiority and their earnest desire to become dhimmis. The "patriots" at the New York Times are also making their displeasure felt:


How could such a thing have happened in France? Probably more of Carl Rove's evildoing.

Dude, your efforts at satire might be slightly less enfeebled if you could spell "Karl" correctly. Tough one I know, but since his name is in the New York Times and other papers a bazillion times a day, thought you might catch that one.

Thanks for the corrective, Dude. It is indeed spelled with a "K". Hope my error made this even funnier for you. Plus, it gave you the perfect excuse to avoid addressing the content of the cartoon. And of course I should have known that anything that appears in the New York Times is therefore the truth.

But say, while we're engaged in a literal accuracy discussion here, you note that "Karl" has appeared "in the New York Times and other papers a bazillion times a day." Can you quantify "a bazillion?" Obviously, I'm deficient in math as well as spelling, as I have yet to encounter this term in science.

Sigh. We conservative dudes are so ill-informed. Come to think of it, we're probably not dudes, either.
