Also it tends to undermine the occasional interesting things you have to say. Is the intent to be seen as a cynical, polarizing figure, or are you just acting out? I guess the latter.

This is not yellow journalism, but satire. I guess the New Yorker mistakenly had too high an opinion of its readers' level of sophistication and even IQ. That's the suspicion raised by the callers on the lefty talk shows I heard today and the bellowing, mindless host of one show in particular. The reaction to this cover is stupid.

I wonder if they even teach kids what yellow journalism is anymore? I remember learning about it in high school - presumably because it was considered important for young people to be armed with a little critical thinking ability. Obviously that (along with many other history lessons) has declined in popularity during the intervening years. I believe you nailed it Tony.
