Reality trumps my own imagination

I was talking to a friend about poilitics and brought up the fact that we used to e mail each other articles and whatnot and say "you won't believe this!" But now nothing is too unbelievable.

With that said it turns out that TIME Magazine has -for the second year in a row- named Bush the Person Of The Year. Something like this would blow my mind three years ago, but now it's commonplace. How can I write satirical cartoons when reality is mocking itself? This in itself could be a good cartoon now that I think of it.
