Feeling Rural
“Just to live in the country is a full-time job. You don’t have to do anything.

I gotta say, I think I agree with this guy about the Obama New Yorker cover hullaballoo.  Key line: “Calling on the press to protect the common man from the potential corruptions of satire is a strange, paternalistic assignment for any journalist to give his peers, but that appears to be what The New Yorker’s detractors desire. I don’t know whether to be crushed by that...
