spreading the wealth in the mushroom kingdom
Playing on the Obama-mania of so many of his cyber-aged supporters (young voters preferred Obama more than two to one), the game combines the nostalgia of Super Mario Brothers with a biting political message.
Here's my take on it. I was going to use Princess Peach as the "evil rich" symbol, but decided Rich Uncle Pennybags, from Monopoly, is more recognizable as such.
it doesn't get much funnier than this
Sarah Palin did that silly thing that every Governor does around Thanksgiving and pardoned a turkey. Afterward, she gave an interview while another turkey gets stuffed into a grinder in the background. Priceless!
Her attitude is perfect. I'm looking forward to the rebuilding of the Republican Party with her leading the way.
Anyway, I wanted to make a flash movie with her giving the interview with some cartoon violence going on in the background. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any suitable cartoon clips for it and I'm not sure I would have been able to pull it off anyway. So I settled for this:
good grief
Once again, I'm taking things off of Rachel Lucas's blog. I can't help myself. I get inspired. I have to say that it was nice to see her slowly come out of politics blogging retirement for her latest post. Granted, the post was more against stupidity than about politics, but aren't the two mutually exclusive more times than not?
The recount is underway in Minnesota and there is bickering over smudges and eraser marks reminisceint of hanging chads. sigh. If you are a Pittsburgh Steelers fan (and I see no reason why you wouldn't be) you will remember a certain Thanksgiving day coin toss involving Jerome Bettis a few years ago. He called Tails, the official said he called Heads, hillarity ensued. When you go to the tape there is a barely perceptable hhh sound before he called tails, so it was more like "Hh-Tails!", but come on! Anyway, the ballots are kind of like that.
Go over to Rachel's and look at some of the contested ballots. Between uninformed voters and immoral campaigns the American Election Process has become something beyond ridiculous.
one promise, one fail
President-elect Barack Obama said on Election Night that he had promised his young daughters that they could get a dog once the race was over.
non heinous
From Fox News:
At a news conference in Chicago, Obama said he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepares to take office in January. Then he smiled and said, "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances."
fat little bastage
From Ann Coulter's latest column: The Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain.
This was such an enormous Democratic year that even John Murtha won his congressional seat in Pennsylvania after calling his constituents racists. It turns out they're not racists -- they're retards. Question: What exactly would one have to say to alienate Pennsylvanians? That Joe Paterno should retire?
i can't take it anymore!
Fox just called PA for Obama. This pretty much sums up how I feel:
I think I've had enough. I'm going to watch an episode of Deadwood and go to bed. Tomorrow I'll wake up, cry a bit in the shower, then get on with my life.
Rachel Lucas promises to live blog all night. Of course, so will lots of other blogs, but Rachel is damned funny. Plus you are sure to get some interpretive dog pictures. Nobody else offers that.
Good night all.
Just got back from the polls. Counted. Unfortunately, I don't feel very confident about McCain winning Pennsylvania. Just the sense I got around my workplace today. My department leans toward Obama. At least me and a few of my coworkers will cancel some of those out.
Then, there are these stories coming out of Philadelphia. It's your first look at the civilian security force Obama wants to build in the U.S.
Here’s the vid of billy club-wielding “security” guards at the 1221 Fairmount Ave. polling place in Philly from Election Journal. Just as I suspected, these guys look like NBPP from the emblem on one of the “guard’s” jackets.
oh goodie
This just in: Polls have closed in Holland and France. They're calling them early for Obama.
On a brighter note, all of the former Soviet breakaway countries are showing McCain up big!
Happy Voting Day
i don't respect his authori-tye
You just gotta love this:
During the rally, Shawn Bryan, a former sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps., said Murtha visited his unit in Iraq in 2005. At the time, Murtha told the troops "what a great job we did," Bryan said, only to see him tell his district back home he no longer supported the effort.
Bryan said he didn't put his life on the line for his country "just so some fat little bastard can come back and run his mouth."
everything must go
Pull Joe Biden's string and he talks for 45 minutes, heh.
badges? we don't need no stinking badges!
The RNC better not have put this in a commercial too! **shakes fist**
nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
Update:
After I made this, I happened onto Hot Air and wouldn't you know they had this video up?
And I thought I was being so clever. Not really, I was actually thinking it was so obvious but made it anyway.
and then form a pan flute band
The results were quickly invalidated when it was discovered no rum or chicken was offered up to Jobu.
Reference.
Don't ask about what else is going on in the video. I don't know, and I don't wanna know.
what a lil rascal!
Hat tip to IMAO for linking to it and Treacher where it originated.
I also posted this on my new Facebook group, Conservative Humor. Feel free to join up and add me as a friend! It's a great place to meet up with like minded people. See the left hand sidebar for my Facebook details.
i couldn't resist
I don't care who you are. That there is funny!
Snagged from Buzz Feed, where there are plenty more. Some good, some not so much. Enter at your own risk, some of them may be offensive.
what do you call a guy with no arms or legs, hanging on your wall?
Some guy hangs a Sarah Palin dummy in effigy in his front yard and calls it art. Rachel Lucas posted a delicious demotivator on the subject:
Morisette says the effigy would be out of bounds at any other time of year, but it's within the spirit of Halloween.
He says "it should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It's Halloween, it's time to be scary it's time to be spooky."
run! qweek!
I'm sure most of you have seen this video already. Barbara West of WFTV only gave the best interview evah!
Joe Biden's responses?
"Are you serious?"I'll give Joe credit. He tried to keep his smile going. He even lasted about 30 seconds. No smiles towards the end, though.
"Is that a real question?"
"I don't know who is writing your questions."
horton hears a hoover
Many people are probably unaware that Dr. Seuss also dabbled in editorial cartoons. I know I was surprised when I came across this website a few years ago. It is the website by the author of Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel
Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, 1904-1991) was a life-long cartoonist: in high school in Springfield, Massachusetts; in college at Dartmouth (Class of 1925); as an adman in New York City before World War II; in his many children's books, beginning with To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street (1937). Because of the fame of his children's books (and because we often misunderstand these books) and because his political cartoons have remained largely unknown, we do not think of Dr. Seuss as a political cartoonist. But for two years, 1941-1943, he was the chief editorial cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM (1940-1948), and for that journal he drew over 400 editorial cartoons.
oops i did it again
This is just plain wrong. You are running for the highest office in the world. This is hardly the example you want to set. I mean, Brittney is so ... yesterday.
