Yes, sir, you certainly be

There are two important things you need to know about this photograph:

1. It has not been Photoshopped. Not by me, anyway.

2. It was hand picked by campaign staffers to be uploaded to Obama’s Facebook page and website.

Okay, three things:

3. It’s not the only embarrassing shot they chose to publicize. No sirree bob.

Go on, click the link. It’s not an icky old Obamalink, it’s from David Stein at Republican Party Animals (who’s written some funny captions to go with).

Just to let you know- as soon as I clicked that link my Malwarebytes and Avast ant-virus both went off like fire alarms.

Wow, really? Republican Party Animals is pretty orthodox. I’ll ask them if they know why.

Clicked the link, and do you know what happened?

White font, black background. First time I ever told someone they owed me a new keyboard because my eyes started projectile bleeding!

Kurt & Stoatie:

No alarms here, but I’ve got a ton of advertising blocked at several levels, and I’m running the “NoScript” add-on to make sure that unless it’s javascript on a site I’ve approved, it doesn’t even load.

I’m just paranoid like that.

No problems on this end, other than the aesthetics.

I would say there are no words…but they obviously speak for themselves.

Those people are only supporting Obama because there aren’t any other cool cults to join…

If they had had room, they would have written:
“I’m in, because I’ll believe anything.”
(or ‘belive anything’)

If only Zombie Reagan were running, Barry would out-lose Mondale!

I’ve started putting up pictures. Each one is about 4 GB, so this is going to take a while.

Hey Swease,
As a practitioner of the Photoshop Dark Arts, I thought you would get a kick out of this. El Rushbo has a redo of Time ragazine’s latest ‘edgy’ cover. Definitely more truthful.

Hahaha…I wish I’d thought of that, Mike!

To be honest, the Time cover creeped me out so bad, I said “ewwww” and closed the window as fast as I could.

In Time’s defense, at least it was a picture of a mother doing something that mothers commonly do; the entire ick factor comes with the boy being too old (and yes he is, sorry advocates, weaning a child is important to said child’s mental and physical development). Contrast with the Newsweek cover last month of Andy Sullivan as Jesus (complete with crown of thorns!), along with his cover feature “Follow Jesus, not churches.” I’d like to think someone at Newsweek was intentionally undermining the content of the article by illustrating Andy’s self-importance, choosing the precise opposite of what he purports to write. That would be giving someone way too much credit, however.

Time doesn’t have much of a defense. This is a nationally distributed magazine, it is publicly available, and if it were shown on TV it would not have a children-friendly rating.
Now, I’m not a big fan of the TV ratings, but if we have a lick (or in this case, suck) of consistency, we need to apply the same standard to publicly-available media.
It’s ironic that the infantilization of America is overlooked for the glory of Glorious O, while this cover gets a minor amount of fuss.

Damn, that Time cover’s creepy. No way that kid’s three years old.

I meant 4 MB, but still. Missus was streaming soaps from her hometown, and our network was balking. I’ll do better tonight.

Is Picasa any good?

I couldn’t see anything hinky in the source of that page.

There was one odd thing. I tried to download the page – i.e. save the source to a dummy file on the desktop. Safari wouldn’t do it – reported that the page doesn’t exist.

There may be some kind of server redirect involved.

Hello! I could have sworn I’ve visited this blog before but after browsing through many of the articles I realized it’s new
to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely delighted I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it
and checking back often!

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
