Newsweek's a comedy sheet this week

Am I the only one who thinks this cover is hilarious? North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il looks like he's at a football game between the Nukes and the Bombers, and he's got his official Nukes glasses on. This dude's a riot - first he gives his nuclear missile a name that resembles a sex toy (Taepodong-2), now the cool shades and the hairdo. Anyway, it's one of the funniest Newsweek covers I've seen in years, and I've been a subscriber for over 20 years.

This week, Newsweek has outdone itself. Not only is this the best "newsweekly" of the big 3, but it's mostly first-rate reporting is often juxtaposed with funny tidbits and quotes, along with some great commentary pieces, from both sides of the aisle (speaking of the latter I never miss George F. Will's column, and he's a staunch conservative.

But, what I like most are its political cartoons, and this week, all three had me roaring. Vandra actually yelled into the bathroom, "What are you laughing at?" Here they are - I don't need to write more about them - all three do a much better job at getting a point across much more effectively than I could ever hope to do. Enjoy!

YouTube and Newsweek - perfect together!

Okay, I'm being redundant, but this 'toon is priceless - I couldn't put that better myself!

This one just about sums up the last 4 weeks in Washington.
