On Second Thought, Maybe Dada IS Dead.
It is with special sadness that we note last week’s resignation of White House press secretary Scott McClellan, a singular man for a singular time. His tireless dedication to presenting daily sessions of Republican pretzel logic was, indeed, an inspiration to us all. In a time when the defense of Dear Leader’s policies required a prodigious talent for producing mountains of verbal Jabberwocky, Scottie was more than up to the task. Indeed, one might say that his method of jousting with the objectively pro-terrorist Nattering Nabob hordes of the media was almost Zen-like in its simplicity:

While the first wave of Dadaist performance art ended in 1920, it heartened us greatly to know that a true master of the form was still in practice (and on a daily basis, on the biggest stage of all, no less! ) well into the 21st century. Now he is gone, and we are all poorer for it. No doubt, his fan club is in mourning.
Vaya Con DubYa, Scottie!
