The napkins at Friday night’s New Yorker party, on the roof of the W Hotel, featured cartoons with three classic settings: — Man to St. Peter, at the pearly gates: ‘Wait, those weren’t lies. That was spin!’ — Man in pajamas, sitting up in bed as wife dozes: ‘My God! I went to sleep a Democrat and I’ve awakened a Republican.’ — Congressman behind desk, with flag next to window and Capitol dome outside: ‘You know what I like about power? It’s so damn empowering.’
