this is worth a thread


it's not "a monkey could do it"

the term is "a monkey at a typewriter" and all the different twists on that saying- a thousand monkeys at a typewriter, a million monkeys and blah blah blah

it's called the infinite monkey theorem it has been linked to William Shakespeare and even mentioned in a review for AIFST (see what I did there?)

Regardless, it is also a direct reference to the monkey being shot in Connecticut the other day, we all know that yada yada

but the one thing it is NOT is racist, as it is comparing the writers of the stimulus package, ie Congress, not President Obama, who signed the stimulus package.

the other thing to point out is how many times Bush was shown to look like a monkey, but if Al Sharpton complains about this comic in the Post it's now racist against Obama?

it was never about Obama in the first place.
