Left sends regrets on America's birthday
The cover illustration of May 11’s New Yorker magazine is titled “Red, White, and Kinda Blue.” It features George Washington looking glum. His jaw is propped disconsolately on his hand in a melancholy pose with his elbow resting on a bar; he nurses a sad martini; an ashtray full of cigarette butts smolders in front of him; in his mouth is a party horn he’s given a desultory puff of ironic celebration; the look in his eye is one of sadness and ennui.
