Daily Show Writer Rachel Axler's NY Times Strike Diary

Picketing but Still Punchy

"Someone has left a Spanish language newspaper on the ground. Two fellow writers and I grab it. There’s a picture on the front page: President Nicolas Sarkozy of France kissing Laura Bush’s hand. We can’t even read the article, but all we need is the picture. The next five minutes are gloriously full of dumb French jokes. How can we resist? Can a leopard change its spots? Sure, but only with a very expensive brand of leopard Wite-Out."
