I dunno, this is just goofy as hell.

LAME.

Don’t get me wrong–I’m at least as pissed about gas prices as anyone, but this looks weird. I wouldn’t even know how to caption it, and there’s no photoshop necessary. Oh, wait…I’ve got it.

Eh, quick ‘n’ dirty, but it’ll do.

BaMOCK Obama

Sorry, I don’t feel like blogging today; I feel like playing instead. I’ve already done a bajillion Obama logos–it’s my new web fixation, now that my Hillary Is Mom Jeans habit has run its course.

Here are some of the ones I did (which I posted here yesterday):

Barack Obama

Two more for the in-your-face factor. ;-P

See everyone's at the Logobama Flickr group, including the ones you do (after approval) .

I detect a VRWC presence there. ;)

If you do some, stick ‘em in the comments here too! For that matter, stick any Obama photoshops in the comments, if you want. We’ll make it the Unofficial BaMOCK Obama thread.

By the way, I’m changing some of my social network icons to these. Here’s Twitter - Slobokan and I are trying to start a trend. ;-)

Oh wait–one more thing that I just spotted on Twitter: Barack Obama’s favorite Jeremiah Wright speech is full of invective and hatred. Of course.

Images work in comments - fire away!

Barack Obama logo creator, plus logo vectors

Oh, this could be hella fun. MWAHAHAHAHA!

Make your own logo at Logobama. Here are a couple quick ‘n’ dirty ones, just because I had the pics readily available.

Obama Osama

There’s a collection of them from Logobama at Flickr–this one’s my favorite so far. No wait, this one with Reagan is. ;-)

Get Barack Obama logos in vector format at Wikipedia (.svg) and at Brands of the World (.ai).

This is gonna be fun. heeeheeee (Do you know how conducive this logo is for goatse manipulation?)

Okay, I AM having too much fun with this. More pics below the fold (don’t worry, no goatse).

HALP US BRAK, WE R STUCK IN SMALL TOWN

Lorien1973’s small town:

I’m thinking that between this and SNOBama, we might have a full-blown photoshopfest coming, á la the Mohammed cartoons or Pallywood. How about it, y’all?

SNOBama

Exactly what I was looking for. This one’s a keeper.

What next, a Jon Carry “botched joke” about dummies ending up in Iraq?

The New York Times’ Libel Against McCain

Goddammit, how do those scum keep getting away with this crap? Someone needs to hit back HARD with this latest steaming pile. What’s the matter, PINCH, afraid your team is gonna lose in November? What, the primary voter turnout numbers haven’t made you confident enough yet, that you have to go printing unsourced innuendo? Your girl is getting slammed, so now you have to make sure teh Obamination wins ugly? DROP DEAD.

Bob Bennett, Democratic power-lawyer, was on Fox News (there to hawk his latest book, actually) and said himself that this is completely unfounded, and that John McCain is without question an honest man. He also noted the fact that The New York Slimes saw fit to print the old, tired Keating Five story, and that he himself had investigated it and found that John McCain was not guilty of any offense. That doesn’t matter to Pinch Sulzberger’s New York Times, though–if it was ever a story of an accusation at any time, it MUST be rehashed forever. Video with Bob Bennett:

Jonathan Martin at The Politico has tried to get a comment from the NYT, but they’re not talking.

The four Times reporters primarily involved with the McCain story, along with top editors, were in lock-down Wednesday night..

Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet, when contacted by Politico, wrote in an e-mail: “I am going to pass for now. The story speaks for itself.”

Reporter David Kirkpatrick echoed a similar line when reached by phone: “I think the story speaks for itself. This one I can’t help you with.”

Executive editor Bill Keller and political editor Dick Stevenson did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment.

Reporters Jim Rutenberg, Stephen Labaton, and Marilyn Thompson - who’s leaving the paper - also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Oh, hell no you don’t want to talk, do you? Afraid you’ll dig yourselves a little deeper into that hole?

The McCain campaign released the following statement:

“It is a shame that The New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit-and-run smear campaign.

“John McCain has a 24-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or lobbyists, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.

“Americans are sick and tired of this kind of gutter politics, and there is nothing in this story to suggest that John McCain has ever violated the principles that have guided his career.”

What’s interesting is that the Slimes started looking at this way to trash McCain back in December. Yet only a month later, they endorsed him.

It’s trash. All the libel that’s fit to print…in the National Enquirer.

And see, they know McCain isn’t going to sue; no politician ever does. The worst that’ll happen with this, most likely? Their reputation is further degraded. Big whoop. How many people will actually unsubscribe? How many advertisers would actually stop buying ad space? None? They can basically print whatever the hell they want and fear no repercussions, as usual. The worst thing that’s ever happened is a journalist getting fired, right? No skin off their backs.

Hey Pinch, when did you stop beating your wife?

UPDATE: And another thing! If this lobbyist were a man, nobody would say shit. I guess this is what happens when you’re a woman and you dare to be a lobbyist…same shit, different candidate. Nevermind that lobbyists are always all over the Hill (it IS their jobs!), nevermind the fact that lobbyists actually do speak to elected officials as part of their jobs–if you’re a woman, you must be involved in some inappropriate manner. Right, (il)liberal New York Times? Of course, that only counts when it’s a Republican politician in the story. Female lobbyists for liberal causes are always pure and righteous, but you know those perverted Republicans, right? The wimmen are just around for recreational purposes!

My God, these filthy sleaze-peddling tabloid journalists make me sick. I am mad as hell.

ARGH!

Jesse MacBeth sentenced to five months

Finally!!!

A Tacoma man who falsely claimed he was a decorated war hero when he took the stage at demonstrations held in opposition to the U.S.’s role in Iraq was sentenced this morning to five months in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Jesse MacBeth, 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.

MacBeth claimed that he was an Army ranger who killed more than 200 people, many at close range, including some as they prayed in a mosque. He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet.

In reality, MacBeth made it through only six weeks of Army basic training and never set foot in Iraq.

Conservative bloggers exposed MacBeth in May 2006, destroying his credibility and embarrassing the Seattle company that produced the video about his exploits.

I’ll bet I can guess what kind of “ranger” he’ll be in short order. :mrgreen:

Speaking of Bullets and Bullshit

The news is presented by the mainstream media aimed at deceiving America and the rest of the world into believing in a fantasy world where evil is good and good is evil. A world where if you can’t find a kodak moment to prove your point, it’s perfectly okay to make one up. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, even a fake one.

They give us staged news complete with serial character actors, doctored photographs, pretend missile attacks, children’s toys placed on smoking piles of rubble, and then, they gave us this:

Shiny Bullets

The innocent iraqi woman holding the shiny bullets that evil American soldiers shot at her house, probably while she was having a wedding celebration or something. Except, they’re not bullets, they’re cartridges and it’s just another bullshit made up story to badmouth America and her troops.

Yeah, we saw it and marked it as bullshit. And although it made us angry, still, we laughed. We laughed because it’s so ridiculous that it’s funny. Except… it’s not really funny. It’s not funny because there are people out there who are foolish and ignorant enough to believe the mainstream media and their made-up version of reality. And that’s scary, not funny.

That said… if you want funny, click this:

That’s not just funny, it’s damn funny, and it’s funny right through the credits until the screen goes blank. And it’s also one of the best bits of commentary on the subject ever, right up there with All Your Fakes are Belong to Us.

Hats off to you Dissident Frogman, that was hilarious! You made my day!

So sez propaganda photographer Muhammed Muheisen! (And of course, AP.)

OH NOES!

Bonus: Mr. Propaganda showed up in Snapped Shot’s comments to whine. Hahahahahahaha!

If you haven’t been to Snapped Shot before, go and feast your eyes on his collection of MSM propaganda. It’s awesome.

There’s no point in being serious about R@n P@ul

Dean Barnett was going to write a serious piece on R@n P@ul*. He changed his mind.

99% of the people who know the real R@n P@ul story agree that he’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. While it’s true that I am not a particularly busy man, I would denigrate my own worth if I actually devoted my time to educating the other 1%.

Besides, I think the PhotoShop says it better than words possibly could.

Question: Which one is crazier?

Barnett’s right; it really is a waste of time dealing with these wackos. For a good sample of the insanity, check out this digg thread. (These people actually think R@n P@ul is going to win!)

* As always, name munged to keep the Google-searching RP supporters away. Really, you should try it; it’s nice not having all the crazies over here!

CHOtoshop it!

Tags: Cho Seung-Hui

Let the Chotoshopping begin! Nothing like mockery to take the edge off bad news. My favorite is this one, but YMMV.

Awww, “Question mark” was a Hello Kitty girl!

As I said at Ace’s, this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part. What’s better than infantilizing and mocking this worthless rotting sack of shi’ite?

I might have to get off my duff later and whip up some chotoshopped images too, if I get time. If you’ve got some, send ‘em to Ace (or me–I’ll be more than happy to post them).
