Brrrr…
Because he asked nicely (and because I couldn’t think of anything else to post today), I did the Barack Obama/Valerie Jarrett mashup for reader Caliban. And it’s giving me the willies. Please make it stop looking at me.
Spitting image of an old friend of mine from art school. Yeah, he looked like a drag artist, too.

See your Romnesia, raise you Barackoli
Eat your Barackoli, America!
Nah, just goofing. Stupid idea. And you know what? I didn’t even get there first.
Let me know how the last debate goes. I’ll be tucked up in my little weaselly bed, snoring and farting.

Give ’em hell, Paul
Heh. I probably shouldn’t have gone with this. I don’t actually expect Ryan to slaughter Biden. Joe is, no kidding, a pretty decent debater. When he pays attention and keeps his shit together, he can pull off a damn good genial and statesman-like imposture.
And Ryan could come off as an abrasive smartass. Worst case, it might look like cocky puppy versus wise silver fox.
Well. Let’s hope for better. It’ll be in the wee hours my time, so I won’t know until morning. (Ah, I see Ace is managing expectations).
Remember — here. Tomorrow. Six of the clock Weasel Blog Time.
Dead Pool Round 39!!!

Big Bird for president!
If you want President Big Bird big and in color, you can have President Big Bird big and in color.

Ohhhhh, yesssss
Yeah, baby. You want it in color. You know you do.
Sour, dessicated old hag Andrea Mitchell declared, “this is not a pick for women.”
In other news, we secretly replaced Andrea Mitchell’s estrogen pills with bath salts. Let’s see if anyone notices!
Do I like Paul Ryan for VP? Oh, yes. Ohhhhhh, yessssssss.

Coo-coo, coo-coo
Hello! It’s me again! Back with another trenchant graphical analysis of today’s top story.
Mmm-hmm. I drew Harry Reid as a drooling moron.
That’s an upgrade for Harry. I think he’s something uglier and nastier.
The Washington Post thinks so to:
“For Reid, this is yet another brazen and tasteless partisan attack. As majority leader, he has managed to sink the public image of the Senate even lower than it would otherwise be. He contributes to bad feelings, gridlock and the sense — nay, the reality — that everything is done for political advantage. Reid is a crass man, the very personification of the gaudy and kitschy Las Vegas Strip.”
Bolding mine, because those words made me shiver with delight.
Also, I drew a bird on his head!

Back on the stuff
Yup, Barack is back on the prompter.
Alternate title, “I can’t quit you” (but I didn’t see Brokeback Mountain and I always hesitate to use a movie line in the dark).
Alternate picture idea: does this flag make my president look small?

So there, nyah!
I’m such an intellectual lightweight. Y’all realize that, right?
I mean, you take Michael Ramirez. Not only is he an awesome illustrator, but he comes up with these brilliant picture ideas and, like, metaphors and analogies and stuff.
Me, I see the latest Newsweek cover and I say to myself, “right! Now I’m totally going to draw your guy wearing a tutu! Ha!”
Still, I suppose there’s a place at the table for a poo-flinging monkey.
There. See? Terrible picture idea.

w00t! Reader Big Blue Bug, down there in the comments, promised me a Don Ho ukulele headstock inlay in return for some Don Ho art.
Sadly, I cannot accept the gift. You know what they’re doing to people who export shell inlay these days?
This CITES enforcement thing is a trip; I’ve heard some horror stories from people trying to import antique instruments with ivory, bone and pearl inlay.
Either that, or totally no big deal, depending on who you talk to. Which tells me it’s probably another thing that individual Customs agents have a lot of autonomy over. One bureaucrat with a hair across his ass on a Monday morning can make a lot of lives miserable.
All’s I know is, I tried to buy some pearl from StewMac and they can’t ship the stuff outside the US. But DePaule can do it because they ship directly from their supplier in Viet Nam.
Yep. It’s another one of those “international” treaties that somehow manages to crush trade in one country and toss it to another. I’d call it an unintended consequence, but I’m not at all sure it is.
Anyway, I’ll be cutting my own inlays, but here’s a little Don Ho lovin’ for BBB, just for being awesome. Mwah.

Whoa. When Redd pointed me to That Newsweek cover, I thought it was a P’shop.
Nope.
Obama may (or may not) have picked up a few votes by declaring his (nonbinding, verbal) support for gay marriage. But being declared the first gay president? Yeah, probably not helpful.
So the question is, did Andrew Sullivan (who is, let us remember, bugfuck crazy) call Obama gay because he just couldn’t contain his excitement (“…when I watched the interview, the tears came flooding down…), even if it might be politically damaging in 2012? Or does he think that the culture wars are finally won — in his favor? Or is he — eh, I dunno — bugfuck crazy?
