The Semiotics of the Beer Summit

How many ways can you analyze 30 seconds of silent footage? An infinite number of ways! Over the last 24 hours, cable pundits, our modern Vienna Circle, have explored all the possible meanings of a bunch of guys drinking beers.

Yes, despite overwhelming evidence proving that Barack Obama has a birth certificate that clearly shows he was born in the U.S., the “birther” movement marches on, and now CNN’s Lou Dobbs has all but taken over as its most “credible” mouthpiece.

Henry Louis Gates has given a couple interviews about his arrest at his home in Cambridge last week, and though he’s still mad, he seems fairly magnanimous about the whole affair: “I’m glad that this lady called 911.” Gates granted an interview to his daughter Elizabeth in the Daily Beast (which—between contributors Meghan McCain and Luke Parker Bowles—is rapidly becoming the outlet of choice for the blood kin of the contemporary aristocracy). His take on his own tour through the criminal justice system is tempered by his role as an educator, which makes him laudably reasonable about something that justifiably pissed him of royally.
