Fungster said...: I did think that was a nice touch too, though they could have included the lapel pin somehow.

What galls me is that this will be the topic of the next 3 days. Instead of something, well, substantial maybe. Something to do with our lives maybe. Edumacation? Economy, stupid? Nope, it's gonna be is this racist, in bad taste, stoooopid, or free speech? Zzzzzzzzzz...; July 14, 2008 at 11:46 AM

k-mad said...: Brain Dead Bob asks an intriguing question, particularly considering his brain-deadness.; July 14, 2008 at 12:17 PM
k-mad said...: News update: Obama campaign not amused, possibly agree with Fungster.; July 14, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Ranger said...: He's still black though right? Couldn't they just have run a picture of him as a black guy and had mostly the same effect?; July 14, 2008 at 12:41 PM
k-mad said...: Favorite comment:

New Yorker is part of the Obama media left wing, is his whole following a bunch of idiots. Maybe he can find someone to fire for this one also.

Smiff said...: I'm sure The New Yorker will be follwing it up with this:

How would the right react with a NYer graphic of McCain screaming at his first wife while she signs the divorce papers—one arm is behind his back—he’s handing Cindy a box of chocolate candies as she kicks over a bag full of cash that’s marked Beer money while a Keating jet is parked outside the window.

k-mad said...: Love the LA Times story C&L links to. High praise from Nancy Reagan:

"Ronnie and I always waited until everything was decided, and then we endorsed," the Republican matriarch said in March. "Well, obviously this is the nominee of the party." They were the only words she would speak during the five-minute photo op.; July 14, 2008 at 2:56 PM
Smiff said...: Also, let it be known that McCain's middle name is Sidney.; July 14, 2008 at 3:25 PM

A lotta people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a buncha unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll give ya an example, show ya what I mean. Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like, "plate" -- or "shrimp" -- or "plate of shrimp" -- out of the blue, no explanation. No point looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda Triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine.... People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America, thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? Hmm? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: hmmm? the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really... yeah, you got it! Time machines!"
