Mein Kopf.... Oy! Sometimes the onion is so right on it's painful. And to add to it, the devestating ridiculousness is actually humorous. Why is it that folks like the Onion and the Daily Show actually get to the heart of stories better than most major media outlets? It's not that they have facts the rest don't, but like Harry Smith's liner notes to the Anthology of American Music, they manage to hit the simple heart of a story with piercing directness. Complexity is simple (and oxymoronic). So, here's the instigating onion quote: Who would have thought that a bad Austrian artist who's obsessed with the human physical ideal could assemble such a rabid political following? and, yeah, I know Atrios got there first, but when doesn't he? 3:08:00 AM    comment []
