If I can be said to have a weakness in the area of biting satire and social commentary, it's that I can't quite motivate myself to make light of a racist lynching*, even if the victim's name was Butt.

[*I know what you're thinking: what about the much more deadly hate crime you made light of last Thursday, you hypocritical bastard? I don't know. White guilt or something. Talk to my lawyer.]

However, in other Butt-related news, a Brooklyn woman was acquitted of manslaughter charges yesterday after she allegedly murdered her husband for making disparaging remarks about the size of her butt. But here's the twist that makes this story unmistakably Brooklyn: he was complaining that her butt was too small.
