THE MERRY PRANKSTER

I am an old Larry Flynt fan.

Here he is up to some of his old tricks. Mocking the bailout craze.

Of course, no one knows whether to take him seriously or not.

Flynt treads the narrow line between outrageous assertion and political satire. The best satire is based as much as possible on reality.

His most effective pieces of work have all the elements of "straight" behavior but then bend radically somewhere in the middle leaving us to fend for ourselves in the dissonance he creates.

This is a good example.

I believe that Larry Flynt has done more for personal freedom in this country than most politicians who always seem to sell out at some point.

Maybe there is a place in the Obama Administration for Larry. Minister of Political Fun.
