...thatvotersinred and blue states could agree on this election year, it's that satire was king. From David Letterman's monologues and a rejuvenated Saturday Night Live to the proliferation of spoofy websites, even the most minor campaign flubs were endlessly lampooned. Jon Stewart and his gang popped up at both conventions as well as the debates, and The Daily Show became the most trusted name in fake news. The South Park crew turned everyone from Kim Jong Il to Michael Moore into puppets for its movie Team America. On the Web, office bandwidth was tested...

The answer he arrives...
...Victim Fights Back Your report on "Asia's Heroes" [Oct. 11] included a feature on Mukhtar Mai, a Pakistani woman who successfully fought the injustice of local tribal law. After Mai was gang-raped on the orders of a self-appointed village council (to preserve the tribal honor of a local clan), she courageously pursued her case in the courts despite the threat of further violence. Mai won, and six men involved in her rape were punished; two of them were sentenced to death. That is a tremendous example for women across the world who are suffering from similar atrocities...
