Transfer Of Power. (via suck.com)

It's already become a meme that now that since Barack Obama has been elected, it will be harder to make jokes about the president. It is true that this cat is less likely to nearly choke to death on a pretzel, fall off of a Segway (which should be physically impossible), hump a plump barely legal aide, throw up on a prime minister, fall asleep at a press conference, consider ketchup a vegetable or any other ridiculous flub that has fueled many a hack comedians repertoire.

In response, I give you suck.com's response to similar confusion during the transition between Clinton and Bush.

Suck.Com Shreds GW, The Reagan Years And Baby Boomers Via Director Of Caddyshack.

In a bit of randomness (that may or may not have to do with the fact that a book is being released), I decided to revisit suck.com. I had forgotten this truly excellent site that faded to oblivion shortly before 9/11 amidst the simultaneous death of many bastions of cool, intelligent counter-culture humor.

So forgive me if you've already read this excellent (if almost decade old) article, in which, through the medium of a review of Harold Ramis' career, a scathing deconstruction of priveleged Baby Boomer mentality emerges. I think it deserves a tasty defrosting, now that the Bush empire is on it's way out of office.

What Is Barack Obama Doing For You Right Now?

Just wasted quite a bit of time with Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle, where just a click can remind you what he's done for you lately.

Because he cares.

I have an identical article posted to Dorkstuff.

Massive, Massive Collection Of Obama Buttons.

You find this massive of a collection of McCain buttons, you know how to get a hold of me. I'm non-partisan. I voted for Robocop/Unicorn.

I have an identical article on Dorkstuff.

Super Obama World

If youre the kind of person that thinks a really, really weak Super Mario World clone with *only* *one* *track* *of* *infuriatingly* *annoying* *music* and cornball "political" humor that your parents would chuckle at is you're kind of bag, then click on the above picture.

I've posted this same article to Dorkstuff.

You People Are Fools!

The argument presented in this Bob The Angry Flower comic makes as much sense as any of the heavily forwarded nonsense emails I've been getting lately regarded our newly elected president.

A Truly Shocking Picture Of George W.

(P.S. Yes I know it's the Arizona State Trident.)

You Have All Earned The New Puppy.

Awesome. A new puppy. And I've earned it. And you have too.

Good times.

Maybe McCain's Tax Plan Would Have Helped Joe After All.

Joe The Plumber was considering buying a plumbing company. I'm sure at some point he was considering getting a real plumbing license or getting around to actually paying the taxes he seemed to be so worried about this election.

So why the hell shouldn't he consider becoming a country music singer? Or an astronaut, for that matter?

Now that I think about it, I should have considered posting this blog a week ago, when it was relevant.

Oh well, I just wanted an excuse to post a cool Zina Saunders painting on a blog.

Right-Wing San Diego Radio DJ Performed In Blackface For Obama's Victory.

The clown you see above is Mark Larson, some cookie-cutter right-wing AM radio personality from San Diego. Sometime in the incredibly vague past on his part, he claims that he made a bet that there was no way this country would elect a man named Barack Hussein Obama. So much that he resolved that if Obama won, he would go on air in blackface. But it's totally not about race; he claims it's about Barack's middle name, and the fact Larson believes he's a Muslim.

But it's totally not about race. Which is why he's appearing in blackface, rather than, say, a turban or a Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden mask. You know, something mildly humorous that would actually be congruent with what the fuck he said.

He then later compared the stunt to skits done by Dave Chappelle... Okay, lemme just jump across this monstrous paradigm shift and say that, sure, Dave Chappelle, the Wayans brothers and even Eddie Murphy have performed skits in whiteface. Two things though -

1) Neither Dave Chappelle, the Wayans Brothers or Eddie Murphy have maintained a three decade radio career where they claim to represent the moral character of our society. Maybe I missed something, and this is the kind of wholesome good-natured humor the average moral Republican genuinely enjoys. I sure as hell hope not, for the sake of mankind...

Also...

2) Dave Chappelle is funny (and Eddie Murphy and the Wayans brothers used to be). This is...

...well, this is pretty embarrassing.

It's like you're watching your drunk, out-of-touch uncle go into one of his off-color stories, and you realized he's forgotten the punchline, but insists on plodding on... and on... and on...

And due to a cruel slip in the time/space continuum, this horribly awkward moment lasts for the length of an entire radio show.

Meanwhile, you've long since pretended to be adopted and have taken, with zen-like focus, rapturous attention to the cream cheese dip. Wow, you can really taste the parsley!

I have no idea, you desperately want to tell everyone within earshot, who that crazy ranting man is. I'm just here for the wheat thins.

Mweh Mweh Mweeeeeenh.

Something In This Pic Does Not Belong.

This photo was taken at the Merced Polls. There's the voting machines... and a FREAKING HUGE PRO PROPOSITION 8 DISPLAY that is about 100 feet closer than is legal.

If you live in California, you can file a complaint through:

This is a pretty big deal. California now has the dubious distinction of being the first state to amend it's own constitution to REMOVE rights for it's own citizens. Dirty tricks like this should not go unpunished.
