  1. Wow – good stuff. Have to admit this at the bottom made me smile:

    Too harsh? Too “right wing”? I just relayed the definition. Any conceptual linkages between the words and images are the responsibilities of the reader.

    Re: fascism, I like this single image pretty well too.

  4. Oh, BTW noyk, that poster…
    If you’re going to photoshop anything on that banner, I would think it would be an ACORN symbol…they, and the SEIU, seem to have an afinity towards Brown-Shirts!

  5. Was just sitting here thinking how I remember all those songs teachers used to teach kindergarteners to sing about Bush and Cheney back in the day. And all the artists that used to draw Bush riding bareback on horses with no shirt on. And all the haloes of light photographers used to make sure were around Bush’s head whenever he was photographed. And that Lifetime Achievement Award he won at the Academy Awards for singing that song to Laura one time. And Hollywood celebrities like Demi Moore saying, “Now that Bush is in office, I pledge to be a servant to our president.”

    That was all pretty tiresome actually. Glad we have a president now who people understand is their servant, and not the other way around.

    Actually that’s a great point…don’t have any mad photoshop skillz (not my poster) but speaking of ACORN, here’s a pretty good work of art:

  7. Remember, JEA is the one that mourns the partisanship and vitriol in political discourse.

  10. Wow, Hitchcock, you’re great at missing points

  11. Liberal Fascism. You know, children singing songs of praise to der Fuhrer and all. Could never happen here, right? Right?

    We’re screwed.
