Elect-O-Nation Celebration

Can we hit up Candy Mountain too?

From Nerd Theater comes an oddly random comic about Obama!  It’s a note on the frenzy of hero-worshipping that’s been done on Obama.  I’m not sure it’s really around or affecting the election as much now, since we all (should) know more about each candidate that paints them in a more realistic light in our minds.  But it’s true that for a while there, it was as if he has the keys to Candyland and everyone wanted a piece of that ice-cream cone castle!  Certainly though, the general media has been pushing for their adoration of the man, even though McCain’s called them out on it (Source: Washington Post). Nerd Theater mentions that they’re mostly Obama supporters, but either way it’s nice to have some realistic views on candidates, especially this close to the end.

A Scary Thought

Boo!

Today is just a cute comic I thought was a pretty appropriate look at “scare tactics” by Josh Nickerson. Sarah Palin has, this week and last, been making unrealistic attacks about Obama at almost all her rallies, from saying he pals around with terrorists, to questioning his intention with America. No wonder the people have become frightened to death of Obama, resulting in the creepy almost cult-like shouts of “Terrorist!” and “Kill him!” when his name is mentioned at a Palin/McCain rally. Palin’s scare tactics seemed to have worked, with dire consequences to the people and to Obama himself (The Secret Service steps in to investigate Obama death threats, Source: AP). Just how far will these scare tactics go? And, gods-forbid, should Sarah Palin become President, how will she use scare tactics on you?

On the plus side, at least McCain has tried to quell the angry beast that has sprung from these scare tactics… Perhaps he realizes that they’ve gone too far. He’s trying to defeat his opponent in a polite way, but with his mobs I don’t know if it will work.

Halloween Costume Forecast

A sneak peek at this Halloween's hottest trends

Well, this picture speaks for itself! The dead Palins are great, that’s probably her rising from the dead for the second coming. Another set of characters making a comeback will probably be real pop-culture mavericks, like Tom Cruise’s Maverick from Top Gun, and Mel Gibson’s Maverick from the movie of the same name. And I’m sure there will be more than one unfortunate family pet dressed up with lipstick of some sort.

A Rock Band McCain Can Use

Presenting the Change Firsts

So since McCain has been unable to use a multitude of songs for his campaign (Source: New York Times), has decided to make a band that he CAN use to his advantage. Created in Rock Band by inkasylum, Change First is a dynamic, if a bit uneven band. Their two very different styles cause them to appear to be fighting each other for the spotlight; Usually BaRock is in center stage, but Mavrik is oft vying for that position with his stinging and repetitive lyrics. Some favorites titles off the new album coming out in November include “My Friends,” “Yes We Can,” and “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.”

The Life of Obama #1

The life of Barack Obama

The second in my series, this time, it’s an objective look on the life of Obama, from birth to his community organizer time after he graduated from Columbia University.

As in The Life of McCain, I found a lot of the details from the Obama wiki article, and my own personal knowledge on stuff that I’ve heard candidates talk about. I also used some knowledge from TV specials and the Obama biography, From Promise to Power. In encourage you to look further into the internet and your library shelves to find more specific details about the amazing lives these candidates have led.

Yes We Can!

This is a look at one of Ray’s many attempts to improve on the great design of the Obama logo. It’s tough to top it, but this is one of my faves! Surely the people of the world of Pokemon are more likely to be Democrats: after all, they have a strong and in-depth educational system, believe in same-sex relationships, and free universal healthcare.

They're selling you a whole new car

Here comes a comic by Groschopf. These car salesmen say they’re selling you a whole new car, but are they really, or is it more of the same?

Bailout Talks

Introducing Sapoman and his first comic about the bailout talks that McCain rushed in to fix up. And good thing he rushed so quickly! What could the House have done without him?

What They Say 2

Another page of Ray’s neat look into the ones who will be doing the electing - you, the voter! He says he’s culled all the quotes from various sources online and in the media. Whatever the source, America’s got a lot of voices out there determined to be heard. Hopefully, we’ll hear more on these topics from Ray in the future!

What They Say

An interesting look at the other side of the election: you, the voter! According to Ray, some of these are inspired by real quotes, and some are just humor. There’s such a variety of people out there voting for different people for all kinds of reasons. Look for a next installment of “What They Say” to be posted soon!
