Post Turtles
by John Weckerle
Recently, an area resident sent me a new version of the old George W. Bush “post turtle joke,” reconfigured to focus on Barak Obama. While I may not have the same opinion as the sender regarding which of the two most resembles a post turtle, I didn’t think much of it; it’s election season and, as tired as we all are of it after the primaries, we’re bound to be seeing a lot of political humor.
I was, however, very surprised at the next message I got, which contained a response from one of the other recipients: “… i’m embarrassed for you. this is pure racism. never send me anything like this again.” »» Post Turtles
