It’s RACIST!!!

Playing off of the multi-way combo of the Travis the Chimp story from the other day, in which a 200lb pet chimpanzee, after being given Xanax, went crazy and mauled a woman, and had to be shot, along with the “a million monkeys at a million typewriters could eventually write Shakespeare” theme, and the fact that the stimulus package has a whole barrel full of monkeyshines and surprises in it that nobody has even read yet, (and maybe even New Yorkers and their awareness of the NYPD’s shootist proclivity, and maybe even the King Kong meme, or the parallel between a drug habit and a national debt that will never go away, both of which could be called a Monkey On Your Back. Hey, maybe he was thinking that the Dems were monkeying around with our freedoms by pushing this socialist handout package?) NY Post cartoonist Sean Delonas came out with this one today:

Pretty inventive on his part. It would have been even more inventive if the bill had failed; if it had been “shot down”. Then it would have been more perfecter. Alas.


But it’s a monkey see? A chimpanzee. Ignoring completely that for the past 8 solid years not a single hour of a single day went by when the left wasn’t calling Bush a chimp, the reaction was pitiful. And totally predictable. Guess who had to say guess what? You knew it.

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton called the cartoon “racially offensive” and released this statement. This story was also one of the leads on all 6 of the main NYC evening news TV programs.

“The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that ‘Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.’”

The New York Post is standing behind the cartoon. Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said: “The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington’s efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist.”

Sharpton’s National Action Network has already planned a protest outside the Post’s mid-town Manhattan headquarters at noon on Thursday. The White House says it will not respond to the story.

But Al - Balack Obama didn’t even write the bill. He gave that one over to Reid and Pelosi. Stupid. Poor old Sharpton. He’s pretty much out of work these days isn’t he? Wonder if Obama is gonna give him some special stimulation?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
