Tom Tomorrow is sometimes accused of satirising only the right and never the left. But I seem to recall one This Modern World strip in which someone accidentally drops a lit match and then quickly steps on it to extinguish it – while the punditocracy immediately goes into overdrive, speculating on how, if the match hadn’t been snuffed out, it might have caused forest fires that would devastate whole cities; they conclude: “I think this shows the need for more regulation.” Anyone know of a link to that?
In other news, I’m off to FEE again tomorrow for an Austro-Virginian bash.
