* To all the indignant readers who complained about the Richard Serra ad for pleasevote.com ["Letters," Aug. 2/9]: Lighten up! Serra's update of Goya's horrifying Saturn Devouring One of His Sons illustrates the nightmarish implications of George W. Bush's domestic and foreign policies. Do these readers recognize Swiftian irony? Should Jonathan Swift have toned down his "modest proposal" to cook and eat Irish children because readers would find its "ghoulishness" "inappropriate," "gross" and "tasteless"? In this time of the madness of the Bushites, we need all the Swiftian irony we can get.
