Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Mordant Wit

This is SO WRONG.

Sometimes it takes really bitter humor to drive a point home, you know?

That billboard really got me.

Sad state of affairs in Nigeria. My African Union sponsors live in Ghana (which is right next door). And the difference between Nigeria and Ghana is night and day. They routinely tell me all about the "nightmares next door". The Onion got it right.

That's over the line from cruelly funny to just cruel and callous. Yuck!

I guess either my skin is thicker than Debi's, or my sense of humor coarser, but that was great.

"Onion" being a great Madison, Wisconsin social and educational institution, my week just couldn't be complete without the current issue. Heavy-handed? You bet your ass it is. But they have some quality writers and editors aboard, and it sure as hell beats "Isthmus", the other weekly handout available in Madison, which is serious, unfunny, hatefully liberal, and a general drag.

By the way, one of the few things Onion does straight is publish good quality film reviews, which to me are as important as scorecards at a ball game.
