Payday loans for some perspective, please
Payday loans can help in an emergency cash situation. They’re great for that. But there are some things money can’t buy. Perspective is one of those.
CNN reports that the Rev. Al Sharpton appreciated the apology from New York Post Chairman Rupert Murdoch over the controversial dead chimp cartoon that ran on February 18. Sharpton considered the apology “a good gesture,” but he questioned whether the apology will “guarantee that these kinds of things will not happen again.” To Sharpton, the apology was not enough.
Blood in the water
For those of you who don’t know what this is about, the February 18 cartoon depicts a chimp that has been shot dead by authorities (alluding to a recent incident in Connecticut involving a chimpanzee that killed a middle-aged widow). One of the two officers on the scene in the comic says, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”
Some people jumped to the conclusion that because the comic was published the day after President Obama signed the economic stimulus bill, the Post’s commentary was racist. Yet in truth, President Obama did not write the bill. Something of that nature is written by teams of cabinet members, administrative staff and other politicians. Even by lobbyists. It passes the president’s desk last, so he does have final say, but to say that the cartoon is taking a shot at Obama is very questionable, based on the evidence. Furthermore, to add another layer and assume that the cartoon’s intent is racist is even harder to come by, considering the evidence present in the cartoon. I’d wager a loan until payday that even a real chimpanzee would know that this is true. ... click here to read the rest of the art icle titled "Payday Loans For Perspective on "Racist" Cartoon"
