Iowahawk has a Midwestern perspective on Joe; he now speaks as that other beleagured Midwesterner, Hyde Park’s leading resident, in I am Bill. Thanks, Iowahawk.
We’re going to need all the Zucker and Iowahawk they can create during the next few years. Even great genius of this kind is uneven (Zucker’s new movie is). But at the top of their game, they make my day – or week. National treasures, they restore proportionality; the serious-minded transcendentalists thought that was a great poet’s task, but my vote is for comedy.
