Cartoons, Palin and sports analogies

An odd political cartoon in this morning’s Daily Punctilio (AKA the Journal Gazette) inspired the response below. The cartoon is not up on either the DP or Mr. Heller’s web site, but I think you’ll get the point:

Even though political cartoons are most often meant to evoke serious thought, sometimes they are laugh out loud funny. Joe Heller’s cartoon in this a.m.’s JG was the later. No doubt MLK would approve of Obama’s rise to become President Elect of the United States.

Heller should have stopped at MLK’s thumb’s up from the heavenly clouds. But for some odd reason Heller found it necessary to add the words “Absentee Vote.” That’s when I guffawed with such gusto that coffee shot from my nose.

Given the unbelievably corrupt, illegal and despicable activity of ACORN during this election, does Heller or anyone at the GJ have any doubt that MLK wasn’t registered multiple times in multiple states and that he didn’t vote absentee several times before trying to vote in person at two or three precincts?

Or was THAT Heller’s point? Given his body of work, I doubt it, but that take on it works for me and probably a lot of other people. Keep up the good work Joe. When enough people get up upset about corruption in our election system things will change.

It’s all Palin’s fault

First if it hadn’t been for Palin, McCain’s campaign would never have gotten off the ground. Now there are scurrilous stories being circulated from the McCain camp about how Palin torpedoed McCain. BS!!

There is going to be one huge free for all for control of the Republican Party. The unnamed losers and cowards who are circulating stories about Palin are probably from the Romney camp or the Huckabee camp or some other camp. They have to take Palin down to give “their guy” a shot. That’s all this is about.

Anytime I hear or read “unnamed sources, blah blah blah,” I tune out. Unnamed sources tell me that unnamed sources are full of crap, cowards and weaklings.

P-E Obama’s path paved by black athletes

In an effort to escape political BS, I tuned into Sports Center last night where a couple of jocks were discussing how sports and the rise of the black athletes paved the way for P-E Obama. I wanted to throw up.

If there is a sports analogy for this election, it would be how George Steinbrenner and other big market owners try to buy championships. While it takes most sports franchises several seasons to buy up enough talent to make a run at the championship in any given sport, Obama was able to dump a BILLION dollars into one election cycle and walk away with the prize.

That sports analogy never came up. Hmmmm I wonder why?
