Satire is defined as "humor that shows the weaknesses or bad qualities of a person, government, society." Some
of the songs, poems and stories posted on this blog are satires. Some
are just for fun. All are meant to be humorous. Some of these postings
have historical content and are based on historical facts. Some are
comments on people and the human condition.
I
believe that humor is a very good antidote against the stress which is
and has been part of life throughout history. Humor comes in many
forms: jokes, stories, songs and pictures including and especially
cartoons.
The
political cartoon above illustrates humorous political/historical
comment. This cartoon by Ilana is about the American presidential
election of 1948. It was assumed by practically everyone that the
incumbent, Harry Truman would be defeated by Republican John Dewey. The
election results showed the opposite, and is considered one of the
biggest upsets in American History. The editor in chief was so sure
that Dewey would win that , on election night before the final results
were in, he published the newspaper with the headline (shown on the left
side of the cartoon). What to do? His solution was a bright idea.
(shown at the right side of the cartoon).
While it is true that some humorous offerings are hurtful to sensitive people, the songs on this blog are NOT meant that way at all. My purpose is to give people a good laugh, and to entertain. They are not meant to be taken seriously.
