There’s another funny guy in the op-ed pages today, with Larry David penning a tongue-in-cheek “appreciation” of the newly extended Bush tax cuts. He writes that thanks to the cuts, he’ll now fly first class, splurge on a flat-screen, and buy blueberries: “It’s also going to be a boon for my health. After years of coveting them, I’ll finally be able to afford blueberries. Did you know they have a lot of antioxidants, which prevent cancer? Cancer! This tax cut just might save my life. Who said Republicans don’t support health care? … The only problem is if, God forbid, the tax cuts are repealed in two years, how will I ever go back to Special K and bananas? … Of course, I suppose with the money I managed to save from the Seinfeld syndication, I probably could continue to eat granola with blueberries, but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Life was good, and now it’s even better. Thank you, Republicans. And a special thank you to President Obama and the Democrats. I didn’t know you cared.” [NYT]
