I would have to say that civility has finally, once and for all, left the political left.

Except of course that happened a year ago thanks to Dean. Now it's just a contest to see who can be more depraved.

No surprises from the VV
They are all ole lefties.

I don't like Bush very much, but this is ridiculous.

Nice painting of BushHitler!

That map is crap. Florida went HEAVY for Jeb in 2002. No WAY they're going for sKerry in 2004.

that is absolutely disgusting

He can bite my neck any time.

The Voice is an unspeakable hate-rag, with the most vicious propaganda out there.

Well, as a huge Jean-Claude fan (one Frenchman I'd love to be friends with), the vamp thing just doesn't have the impact on me the VV obviously wanted.

I agree. Florida has to be in the bag. And Ohio's looking good. I think RealClearPolitics' stuff is way more reliable.

If Kerry wins, my fundamental gut feeling about America will be shattered.

#1

That website changes their tune about every other day.

I give it slim to none in terms of credit.

hey, at least it's merely the symbol of america's freedom who's neck he's biting, not little babies like i guessed they would've depicted. the depth of their bizzare, irrational hatred for bushitler knows no bottom......

btw, #1, whole lotta liberties taking on that electoral college count, looks like something drawn up by a pol sci professor at yale -- as public enemy would counsel "don't believe the hype." check out realclearpolitics.com, there isn't one poll on the whole site that mirrors these results, quite the opposite, actually.

Bush sucking on a statue that was made in France. Interesting to say the least but it looks more like someone at The Village Voice forgot to take their medication for a few days.

*ROTFLMAO*

And these are the people who just finished posting about Kerry's "coup d'etat" plans!

Has it goten as ugly as it's going to get?I doubt it.These people are pitiful,actively cherring for a communist takeover of the USA,and they will go even further I fear into the abyss that they want us all to fall into.We must not let these rat-ass LLL fiends drag us down.

Can anyone possibly, possibly take this seriously? Even the looniest of the lunar flying mice must look at this, and find it a bit trop.

Agree with you about W winnning Florida. Go Bush!

Now that article was a rambling piece of drivel
Just another example of the desperation of the radical left.

That's the funny thing about Kerry and his fan base. No matter what low they stoop to, you just know they can stoop even lower.

I actually enjoy watching the left's slide into complete derangement. It's a good thing that I enjoy it, too, since I live in San Francisco.

I'm not surprised...Kerry and the Democrats are running scared.

Get ready folks, the worst is yet to come...

blood libel propaganda

ummm, I thought it was kind of humorous.

#1 fat.elvis

Electoral-Vote has lost my confidence and here's why:

1) In the beginning, projection maps were solidly Bush
2) then he took them off his site, claiming they had too much noise, but yet they were consistent and the projections were based on a 90 day moving average and by doing so, did wonders to negate the noise he was complaining about.
3) then he changed the projections to based on 30 day moving averages, which immediately tipped them to Kerry
4) then he changed them AGAIN to the current scheme which is substantially based on gross assumptions (voters have already decided, undecideds will break 2:1 for Kerry, Nader and All_Others will get 1% each, etc.)

Anything reasonable went out the window.

Check it out:

UN-Happy Valentines Day 2005

I have never seen an election in my lifetime the other side deserved to lose more than this one.

BTW: I was up at 4 this morning and slept very badly last night, so I dozed off on the sofa about an hour and a half ago. I dreamt that Bush lost and the dream was so vivid that when I woke I thought for a few seconds that it was the morning of the 3rd and Kerry was president. I was relieved to realize that that was not the case.

I don't believe in the ""dreams are omens" crap, because I'm prone to dreaming about horrifying things that never occur (like being chased by someone with a gun, which is a recurring motif). So I don't see any special portent here.

However, if I start dreaming I'm being chased by Kerry with a gun, I may start to lose it. The only reassuring thing about such a dream would be that he would probably be crawling on his belly, the same way he hunts deer, so I'd have a pretty good chance of escape!

correction:

90 day moving average

I meant to say 90 day regression line, but my point is unchanged and is still valid

Good thing Bush isn't Jewish, or this would be a blood libel and hate speech. :-( :-)

Lovely. Yet another addition to the gallery of unhinged, fear-mongering propaganda.

Not entirely OT
Found this via a link at The Voloka Conspiracy. Here's one part that struck me as interesting:

Extreme conservatives were much less likely to report being mad at someone every day in the last week--7.3% to 24.2% for extreme liberals. Extreme conservatives were also less likely to report being fearful in the last week--32.5% to 56.3% for extreme liberals. In other words, a staggering one-quarter of extreme liberals report being mad at someone EVERY DAY and most extreme liberals report being fearful at least once a week.

#1 fat.elvis:

Assumption #2 is the sticking point. If you really believe that undecided voters will split 2 to 1 for Kerry then yeah, that might be right. I wouldn't make that assumption in this election cycle, though. I think that Bush will carry Florida comfortably, thanks in part to the reverse coattails of Mel Martinez, who is in a close race for the Senate vs. Betty Castor and will get the conservative Latino vote out for Bush. Based on that map, if Bush takes Florida and either Ohio OR Pennsylvania OR New Jersey OR Michigan OR Wisconsin combined with either Iowa, New Mexico or Oregon, Bush wins.

Relax. 13 days is a long time and there will be bombshells dropping before its all over. Remember the drunk driving bombshell onthe eve of the 2000 election? It wouldn't have been close but for that. I'm sure that there will be surprises this time around as well.

The next thing that the LLL is going to say is that Bush piloted the planes on 9/11 and the guy in office is a clone.

Can these idiots get a life?

I have already made peace with a legally elected President Kerry. If it happens, it happens. But the Democrats are giving me no reason to think they honor law, stability, and electoral democracy as much as I do.

If the powers that be think somehow the United States is inherently above the instability which has marked human history, they are wrong. If they bring us that instability, after their AFL-CIO goons have been dispatched, they will rue the day they gave up on the founding principles of this nation.

George looks very handsome in that painting. It is flattering. IMHO.

Vampires Rock!

(I bet we can convince the LLL to start dousing themselves in garlic.)

So much for the stiffling of dissent and clamping down on freedom of speech.

Mmmm...Lady Liberty...

/Homer Simpson

And next time, France, why not make a statue that doesn't turn green, you cheap bastards.

Whoever the illustrator is, he has made Bush's eyes too compassionate for the business of biting into the flesh of Lady Liberty. Look at the eyes and even the mouth (not the teeth part). The artist probably used a photograph of Bush and Bush has very compassionate eyes and mouth. Not viscious which he should have in order to make them agree with what he's supposed to be doing.

The news around the smaller counties in Florida is how many people are switching from Democrat to Republican in order to vote in the city and county elections. Used to be you had to be registered Dem to vote in the primaries. Now often there are only Republicans running. There's a good reason for that. Democrats are rarely being elected.

Yeah, there's a picture pasted on a mailbox a few miles my house (in San Francisco) that shows Sharon eating babies.

Ironically its right across the streed from a sign declaring the neighborhood to be "A hate free zone" But the small print says that we don't tolerate descrimination against Muslims, but doesn't say a word about discrimination against Jews - despite the sign it's next to.

This picture demonstrates a classic psychological defense mechanism called PROJECTION. Those who would "suck democracy dry" are the ones whose brains came up with that thoroughly disgusting picture. The complete lack of self-awareness and insight into their own behavior is truly incredible. They prefer to destroy this country rather than contemplate the possibility of losing the election.

I had a recurring nightmare that woke me up 3 or so times and resumed where it left off five days BEFORE 9-11. I believe it was an omen - it had a visual message with 2 long/tall sets of pairs in it, and a note that said "I tried to warn you." I am not sh*tting you. I also had a bad/warning dream before the anthrax attacks.

13 days to go, but I've been sleeping like a baby lately.

It's just that the LLLs LOVE democracy so much, that they're forced to lie and cheat and use Nazi-level propaganda to convince voters to vote Kerry. You know, you've got to destroy democracy in order to save it...

Now let me get this straight. This guys administration is responsible for over 1,000 American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan and everyone's getting worked up over this rag's picture? You've got to be kidding. You're lucky Lady Liberty is not getting raped.

RE: They ARE...

...working themselves up into a frenzy, aren't they.

I wonder what they will do when they lose? I suspect they'll go, literally, ballistic.

And I thought Bush was too dumb to do something like that. And where's the Star of David around the neck? The LLLs are sure feeling their cheerios when they say things like this. (oh wait, not Cheerios. Cheerios are Kosher)

It's called projection. Is it the Republicans or Democrats that are telling the disabled that they'll walk again if the right person gets elected? Who is making up stories about the draft to scare the youth vote? Who is making up stories about Social Security to scare the seniors? Who is telling the party faithful to complain to the press about intimidation even if it doesn't happen? Who is telling half his base that he's always been for the Iraq war, and the other half that he's always been against it? Who has teams of jets and lawyers standing by to litigate every single close contest and irreparably damage our electoral process? Who is handing out crack cocaine in order to get bogus voter registrations? Who is insulting our allies in order to score political points?

Now, who is it who will do anything to win?

Check out this painting. It left me speechless.

OT (kinda)

Has anyone read Mark Steyn's letter of the week, from a Douglas A Amedeo of New York? To me, this perfectly illustrates how Kerry sees the little man (recalling his "I doubt anyone here earns $200,000" comment last week).

Kerry upsets congregation with his breath-taking arrogance

Yet, liberal or not, the parishioners of St. Mary's are apparently not too keen on Senator Kerry. Politics aside on this one. The animosity, an old parishioner explained to me, is due to the Senator's habit of relieving the old ushers of the collection basket and personally soliciting the offerings from the pews. Apparently the Senator does this whenever he attends.

I thought she did outstanding. How hard it must of been to not stoop to the kerry level... because she sure had a lot of ammunition if she wanted to use it
Just goes to show the character of this administration and the lengths it will go to stay above board (no low blows)

Now let me get this straight. This guys administration is responsible for over 1,000 American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan and everyone's getting worked up over this rag's picture? You've got to be kidding. You're lucky Lady Liberty is not getting raped.

How about "Only 1,000 American deaths"

For a campaign this large American casualties have been remarkably light by historical standards. Get a sense of perspective, troll.

Woah! Lemme get this straight....American military casualties in 3 years of war are less than 7% of the amount of casualties that France lost in a couple weeks of hot weather. WOW!

ontevreden aubergine it's too late for this (bullshit) I think I probably speak for the entire country when I say that we're burned out on arguements. That doesn't mean that we can't defend our position, only that after arguing for a couple of years YOU GET SO SICK OF IT.

I can't wait for this election to be over.

Nicolas Roope is anti-globalization conspirator:

The idea is to really make people think about how rich they are compared to the rest of the world," said Nicolas Roope, one of the site's creators. "In the West, we tend to obsess about celebrities and the super-rich. This is a really simple way to turn that on its head."

The site was created by Roope and several others from Poke, a London interactive media company.

Roope, 32, Poke's creative director, said the site was launched to coincide with this week's World Trade Organization summit in Cancun, Mexico, where, increasingly, poor countries are pitting themselves against rich. Key issues are cheap generic drugs for developing nations, an end to richer nations' huge farm subsidies, reshuffling of trade tariffs between rich and poor countries, and special economic concessions for developing nations.

The site uses figures from the World Bank's Development Research Group, which estimates that for the world's 6 billion people, average annual income is $5,000.

most folks here respect diverse opinions, but your comments are a bit over the top. Name the "liberties" which are being taken by the big, bad, Bush administration. The fact is, there haven't been any. Sure, it takes longer for you to get on your aircraft, but let's face it, you might be a little inconvenienced by the extra security, but no one ever said that you were going to be loaded onto a cattle car and shipped off to a death camp. Now if you would like to complain about civil liberties, I suggest you haul ass over to Iran and try protesting. You might get a nasty surprise.

Why, no, child, there are differences.

"Why is it that this blog always degenerates into name calling, Charles? I thought this was one of them there "inteel-i-gent" blogs.

The map as it stands is a load (what do you expect from the LA Times?) They have VA, LA, and AZ as tossup states, which they are not. But since it's interactive, you can try out different possible scenarios. As Jheka said, Bush can lose PA and OH and still win as long as he wins FL, WI, and IA. (Of course, if he does lose both, I'll be sweating bullets nonetheless). Jonah Goldberg mentioned on NRO yesterday that when he gave all the states where Kerry is leading to Kerry and all the "leans Bush" states to Bush (excepting IA and PA, which the LA Times shows as tied), Dubya won.

Funny thing is that Ali Salem (Egypt's famous, if lonely, peace and democracy activist, and playwright and author) said that since the Baath party was modeled on Germany's Nazi party, he does consider the (second) Iraq war the last battle of WWII.

He also said that he was in favor of the Iraq war. And he said he considered it part of the war on terror, not because Saddam was directly involved with Al Qa'eda (though he was clearly directly involved in Hamas and some other terrorist groups), but because, as a Bedoin saying goes "you beat the dog to scare the lions".

Or as Wrechard pointed out, Iraq is a foothold. In WWII, America attacked Tunisia first. There is a strategy to war, and if you ignore the need for strategy you'll certainly lose.

Remind you of something? Go to my site to find out.

will no one rid us of david ortiz?

Zucker ( naked gun director) has endorsed Bush over kerry, primarily because of Israel......says 'carter hates Israel and I couldn't believe kerry had him and michael moore sitting together at the convention'....

With all the fabricated accusations that Kerry's campaign has recently made against Bush (reinstating the draft, killing Social Security, "banning" stem-cell research, not providing enough flu vaccines, etc.), it's surprising that they haven't circulated these pictures yet (I can just image Cheney waiting outside in the getaway car).

Man Robs Bank Wearing George W. Bush Mask
Pa. cops hunting presidential imitator in swing state stickup

OCTOBER 18--Police in the battleground state of Pennsylvania are looking for a man who robbed a bank Thursday night wearing a George W. Bush mask. The holdup man, who did not flash a weapon, demanded the money from a teller at a Commerce Bank near York. As seen in the below bank surveillance photos--provided to TSG by the Northern York County Regional Police--the robber wore gloves, a ski hat, and a fixed grin. A police spokesman would not say how much the Dubya doppelganger got away with.

Nite all. Have fun disembowling the troll, but please, use a plastic sheet to keep the gore off the carpet. ;)

The whole discussion is good, but I found that section particularly interesting because the paranioa and anger demonstrated by the left (just look at pictures from any "protest" recently) is something that's often left (no pun intended) me scratching my head...

There really is something fundamentally different in the way they view life.

Not to make things worse, but here's how Kerry's REALLY going to steal the election.

#54 Queen Esther:

I ALSO had a dream the day before 911!! Mine wasn't about towers but being betrayed by a middle eastern guy who took all my things and all I was left with were journals written in Arabic so i couldn't understand them. But it was one of those REALY powerful dreams where you remember all the details (I won't bore you with them!) and the emotion of it (utter betrayal).

My LLL friend told me she has been dreaming that Kerry wins the election, but loses Colorado (where we live) by like 90%. She didn't say she had a precognitive dream about 911, tho.

I've also been sleeping well, but now that this topic has come up twice (with you and my LLL friend), I'm sure tonight will be overdrive time!

Note to nursing staff, I think you should reassess Mr. Perlstein’s medications.

Again, this picture is projection - because which candidate really does look as though he's stepped out of a Charles Addams cartoon?

Leftist artist (stamping his little feet): They keep calling Kerry Lurch and Herman Munster! Well, Bush is a,...,I know,...,he's a vampire! So there!

A friend's brother has a giant cardboard cutout of Kerry-as-Herman-Munster in his front yard, with the sign "President Kerry? Now THAT's scary!" I am told it's frightening the neighborhood kids.

Still, the VV artist is onto something. As several posters have pointed out, vampires, although decidedly non-kosher (I suppose a Jewish vampire would have an unquenchable desire for chicken soup:-), are rather sexy. Really, ladies, who would you rather have going for your jugular - Duyba or Flip-Flop? (Edwards would be too worried about mussing his hair.)

Someone needs to come up with a vaccination for BDS. It's rampant.

.....Biden criticized the administration's prescription drug policies and their impact on consumers. "He is brain dead," Biden said of the president. .....

Drudge

There's a picture much like this here in Chicago. It's unbelievably classless and distasteful, much like the comments that President Bush caused Sept 11th.
I can't vote in this election (not American) but I must add my opinion about this election. I think it's a real mistake for America to vote for John Kerry. This world is very different since 2001, even if people can't face it. President Bush is doing a decent job and deserves to be re-elected. Is he perfect? Nope, can't speak worth crap and is not exactly diplomatic. However, terrorists don't deserve diplomacy. I hope they all roast in hell.
If John Kerry is elected, I truly believe there will be an imminent attack. Why? Because the man seems incapable of facing the world as it is and that we are at war with people who want us dead, no matter who we are.

George W. Bush: He may be a blood-sucking monster, but he sure is a DREAMY blood-sucking monster. I agree with those of you who thought the creature of the night was rather attractive, as portrayed here.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that it reminded me of The Onion's "This Dumb Century" in which they have a running gag of political cartoons through the years showing various politicians raping Lady Liberty. As in, "See how ridiculously over-the-top political squabbling gets to be?" You'd think that these Bush-haters would eventually get a clue and realize how silly they look, but no, they take themselves deadly seriously. I have no quarrel with people who disagree with Bush and plan to vote against him, but I'm getting really bored and annoyed with the hate-mongering and fear-mongering.

When moonbats and LLL get into the realm of the nasty and scary accusations, one word will tell you everything you need to know about dealing with such minds.

Projection.

Tells ya what they fear, too. That's what's driving all of this; LLL fear. And helplessness. Deer in the headlights. Panic button time.

Giving the LLL credit at least for sincerely held beliefs, imagine what it might seem like to see everything you hold to be true and valid beginning to crumble before your eyes.

LBJ's Great Society is collapsing. Those who are heavily invested in it have the most to lose.

As do the terrorists, they see themselves becoming ever more marginalized; defeated; irrelevant.

They grasp at straws, shoot in the dark, and begin to sense the inevitable. How did Kubler-Roth define the stages of death?

Denial
Anger
Depression
Acceptance

My guess is they're in stage 2.

I'm not sure I could handle my entire belief system turning out to be bogus. That's gotta hurt.

Al I can say is Kerry and his ilk should line up in the gutter, take firm grips - and chin themselves. Im talking to YOU McAuliffe and Carville.

Troll -
You are a 2nd generation proud Jew and you hate
Jews - so conflicted - where have I seen that lately?
Oh yes, the Kerry Syndrome. Baffling scientists for
over 35 years.

Guys, when you see a troll who comes in, spouts nonsense and makes accusation after accusation, and then refuses any requests for coherent answers or backing up of charges with facts, we see someone who knows that they can't back anything up and is content to just stir things up. What they in fact are doing is behaving exactly as is expected from someone on the left when interacting with others from the left. It is the way they think and act in groups. It is enough, when inside their little circles, to throw accusations around, spout innuendo, and make completely off-the-wall charges, because it is how someone who is LLL is *expected* to think, and how they must think in order to be on that end of the spectrum. The LLL is a draw to people who lack critical thinking skills, the ability to come up with ones own conclusions, to form an orginal thought. It is easier to become part of the LLL collective, and also less scary, because you don't actually have to back yourself up. They can resort to emotion and invective, and that, inside their circles, is enough. Therefore, when they venture out into the real world, and are faced with coherent arguments and rebuttals, they are completely without the tools necessary to hold even a modest debate on facts. In fact, to do so would be to cause them to question their own belief system, their very core values (loosely defined as they are), and is quite frightening to them. Like a cornered animal, all it knows how to do is to strike out in the same manner that has served it so well inside the LLL circles, and is left completely dumbfounded as to why it doesn't work in the Real World, and it either retreats to its circle of saftey, or continues making itself look even more foolish, until it has no choice but to retreat its skewed circle of acceptance, where no one requires rational thought or critical debate. Intelligence does not equal common sense, or even good sense. So their academic achievements, ie professors, etc. mean nothing as far as the ability to come out and face the real world, and evaluate it critically.

That is why they will continue to show up, here, there, and everywhere, and why they can never hold an honest debate on nearly anything, and why calls for facts, examples, etc can never be met, except with more innuendo, sarcastice remarks, changes of the subject, invective, and so on.

One almost feels sorry for them. Almost. I don't feel sorry enough for them that I want them around. Well, maybe in a zoo. Maybe we could charge admission and pay off the national debt.

As a kid, I learned how to manipulate dreams when something went awry.

In my case, I would derem myself a gun, go around sKerry (or even fly over) , then from behind, point the gun to his head and say: " Howddaya feel now, punk!?"

Crap like this is why I plan to vote a straight Republican ticket this year. The Democrats need to reform and kick out the loons, but that's not going to happen until they spend a lot of time in the political hinterland. That's why I hope and pray that this election gives Dubya a wide enough win to be considered a mandate.

He must be thinking about all the rights Kerry's promised to give him.

Did you catch John Kerry's gaffe in the third debate?

No, not the one about Mary Cheney being born a lesbian. That abusive and cynical outburst produced gasps in living rooms around the nation and certainly cost Kerry votes.

But there was a more serious gaffe in the debate. It revealed how Kerry's vision of government is at odds not just with that of George Bush but with that of America's founders. In answer to a question about gay marriage, Kerry said: "Because we are the United States of America, we're a country with a great, unbelievable Constitution, with rights that we afford people, that you can't discriminate in the workplace. You can't discriminate in the rights that you afford people."

"A gaffe," as columnist Michael Kinsley once wrote, "is when a politician tells the truth." In this case, Kerry's gaffe is an inadvertent statement of what he--and many on the left--believe is the truth but is actually false and dangerous.

The key phrase was "rights that we afford people." This was no mistake. He said it twice. ........

Think Leni Riefenstahl Hitler's Favorite Director.

I don't know if this has been posted, but I am too damned angry to check:Kerry team slams reports VP Cheney had a flu shot

Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign Wednesday slammed Vice President Dick Cheney, a heart patient, over reports he had a flu shot, despite a shortage of the vaccine.

The campaign complained that Treasury Secretary John Snow and Senate Majority leader Bill Frist also had jabs, despite Bush's advice that the young and healthy did not need to get an injection.

"Once again, the Bush administration proves that it is the 'do as we say, not as we do' White House," the campaign said in a statement issued in Pittsburgh where Kerry was campaigning.

"The very week that (health) secretary (Tommy) Thompson is telling Americans to keep calm, Dick Cheney, John Snow and Bill Frist are getting flu shots."

"It is unfortunate that the Bush administration failed to do the work necessary to ensure that all Americans, including those most at risk, had been able to get shots as well."

Cheney would fit into the government's definition of those most vulnerable to a looming influenza epidemic as he has a long history of heart disease.

Bush last week suggested in the final presidential debate that the young and healthy forgo the annual shot amid a shortage of vaccine that Kerry has blamed on the president's management of the health system.

I would imagine that both bubba and hil had theirs. VP Cheney would fit the requirements anywhere in this country, as does bubba, because they have heart disease. If he did get his vaccine,I cannot imagine anyone in the Republican Party even making mention of it. Strange that bubba is going to actively campaign...could it be internal polling that is scaring the dhummis?

OT, but could this be hacking? Bush and GOP Web Sites Suffer Outages

#44 Dr. Sanity - posted my comment before I read the thread and saw yours.

Does this mean I'm qualified to be a shrink, even though I've never had even a basic psychology course?

Or maybe it means I've got common sense. ;-p

Gives you that creepy, fun house mirror feeling to look at the left's reflection of its supposed nightmare: GWB sucking the life out of liberty. When we know it is the left's metastasizing big government plans that are in fact sucking the life out of liberty. And they accuse us, whose first loyalty is to liberty, of doing what they do. The cheek.

Now on to the more important OT thread here: Dreams. Last night I'm in a parking garage inside a big yellow van. The driver gets out which upsets the balance of the van (the sort of nonsense you see in movie car wrecks) so it starts to tip over a low concrete wall by a six story drop off. I yell at the driver to get back inside and right the van, but his efforts are futile, and over the edge tumbles the van, me inside. Takes a dream-forever for the bleedin' van to fall, and it's rolling over and over, so I crawl out the window and attempt to scramble atop the spinning van, so as to come out on top when it hits bottom, thereby saving myself. An eternity of cold terror scrabbling over a falling yellow van (the kind that Holiday Inn used to send to pick up guests from the airport) in hopes of winding up on top when it smashes into the pavement below, because, in dream logic, the crumpling van will cushion the blow, like an airbag. Van finally hits bottom, I wake up, miraculously alive. (I must have gotten on top.) What does it all mean?

Unfortunately, it looks like our little Howard Dean Mini-Me ontevreden aubergine has left the building after failing (or not really even trying) to inform all of us unwashed heathen how the Partriot Act damaged our civil liberties.

So I'll just give my example:

Once, when I was taking a flight from Dallas to San Antonio, I had to stop in the security line and ---HORRORS!!!--- I had to remove my boots to prove I wasn't carrying a concealed weapon on to the plane.

I felt so...so...assaulted....

/sar...ahh, you know what I mean.....

Regular readers of the Voice, such as myself (it's free, I wouldn't pay for it) realize this is about the 6th Bush cover the paper has run in the last 10 weeks or so. The Voice needs Bush like a crack whore needs her fix. It shows, in fact, an accelerating collapse (just like the Yankees tonight) of creativity. For the Voice, it's all Bush, all the time. I think the editors have completely run out of ideas on what to write about, so they just do some anti-Bush cover and, "Yeah, man, we're stickin' it to the man good this week."

Now, if this artwork appeared on the cover of "The Weekly Standard," then I'd be concerned.

The only things I regularly read in the Voice are columns by Nat Hentoff and sex columnist Dan Savage.

The radical haters seem to have much in common, whether they are Nazis or the new antisemites or the BDS Left. Or perhaps the BDS Left is just too lazy to come up with new material, they just scour the nazi works for stuff they can use.

The Patriot Act has made my job a nightmare!

As a loan officer of an AZ bank, I am now required, REQUIRED!, to fill out a form called the Patriot Act Disclosure. This means that I have to ask my borrower to show me their identification, and I have to take several seconds to fill in 10 blanks. And, as if that weren't bad enough, both the borrower and I must then SIGN and DATE this form.

When you throw in the extra time I have to spend making copies of this form for new loan applications, not to mention punching holes in it so it will hang inside a loan folder, I am totally exhausted at the end of each day.

Premonition painting, entitled, 'Omen', by Charles Wm. Burwell III, done just prior to 9-11. Surrealistic, not my favorite, but interesting:

...two twisted buildings flanking a distant scene beyond water.  Large angular beams dominated the sky with a pyramid hovering over their intersection.  The round objects in the sky follow a straight path towards the tall column.  Some of these elements were painted over in September, 2000 when I hung the canvas outside my studio.  I decided to repaint the angular beams which took on the appearance of a Christian cross.  I consciously decided not to include the beams for that reason.

This is when  I added the second column and the rat monster atop doing something dreadful, more detail to the bay, falling panes of glass, and ghostly gray  people walking on the pavement below the buildings.

Just a question about the logic of all this.... The Nazi's were socialists run amok, Perlstein I would guess is not a Germanic Catholic, so where is this coming from?

The Liberal candidate would have a Global Test over defending the US or Isreal, The "Conservative" would (and has) agressively and pre-emptively defended BOTH, and we have to read this drivel from WHAT?

How weird! I just saw that print in the book, 'Infidels' yesterday at Barnes and Noble. The book itself looked kind of sympathetically slanted toward Islam so I put it back on the shelf, but it was full of great art related to the "cultural exchange" between Islam and Civilization.

I was delighted to see woodcuts and French masters depicting Muslims as savages who behead Europeans. Very refreshing change from the PBS version.

I wonder, are there any art houses out there brave enough to do a call for entries of art works depicting Mohammed's impact on the world? I realize that he notion of depicting Mohammed is abhorrent to the delicate Muslim character, so this might become a pet project for me.

And let's not forget this outstanding example of Bush Derangement Syndrome, a takeoff of Goya's Saturn Devouring His Children, noted by LGF back in July.

Whoever the illustrator is, he has made Bush's eyes too compassionate for the business of biting into the flesh of Lady Liberty... Not viscious which he should have in order to make them agree with what he's supposed to be doing.

Actually, like a good Anne Rice vampire, it looks like he's a little revulsed by it.

Its a well known fact that us Christians, even college educated ones who've never burned a cross or egged a synagogue, really hate the hook nosed Jews, and really just want the Jews to be in Israel to 1) abuse the Palestinians, whom we hate because they have darker skin than we or the Jews do and 2) just as soon as the Jews rebuild the Temple everything Hal Lindsey wrote will instantly come true, and all those cars with the bumper stickers about no driver in case of rapture will in fact have no driver, but the ones in cruise control will continue on until they hit highway bridge abutments and burst into flames.

There isn't a chance in the world that there are non-Jewish people who would support Israel because it is an advanced democratic civilization on the front lines of the war of the barbarians against modern civilization. That we feel empathy for a nation that goes out of its way to avoid killing the innocent, despite the fact that its enemies target its woman and children.

Not a chance

At first I looked at that and thought it was too good to be true. Must be skewed. Then I looked at their "National Tracking" numbers (tab at the top of the map), and they match the other tracking averages I've seen eerily closely.

#229 Nuclear Tinkerbell

Good luck with your Mohammed project. I understand that a feature-length cartoon about him is coming out in November. I think it's being directed by the same guy who did "The Fox and the Hound" for Disney.

I can't imagine how they're going to do it, since, as you pointed out, showing Mo on screen (or anywhere else) is a big No No! What's it going to be like? Happy, Disney-animated Mamelukes beheading pagans as a jolly musical number plays in the background? "Sooooome daaaaaay, Mohaaaaaaamed with cooooooome. . . !"

Or are they going to do a puppetoon kind of thing, like Gumby? Or computer animation, like "Toy Story?" "You got a prophet in me! You got a prophet in me!" Or an Islamic version of "Veggie Tales?" Maybe the Moslem audience will accept Mo portrayed as a talking squash? (It's not human, after all.)

Or, how about some retro, black-and-white thirties style animation? You know, like an old Bosco cartoon, or Betty Boop? Or something more heroic, like Fleicher's Superman? "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a talking squash! It's----MOHAMMED! YES, MOHAMMED, MESSENGER OF GOD, WITH POWERS AND ABILITIES FAR BEYOND THOSE OF ORDINARY ARABS!"

The possibilities are endless.

NuclearTinkerbell

. . . Or they could do it like "Peter Pan"! "Do you believe in Allah, boys and girls? Clap your hands!" Or, some Japanese anime thing!

CUTE LITTLE DOE-EYED ANIME GIRLS: Hello! We're the houris, and we'd like to welcome you to Paradise! (They all giggle sweetly, as they lead true believers away. . . )

The guys who did southpark should do the life of Mahommad, with all the gory details. The paranoia, genocide, hatred, beating slaves to death (like a good messiah), raping and pillaging armies, the child bride and drooling over other kids, the cheating on his wives and the way his God flipflops whenever it's convinient for Mo. Moe's a GREAT character. Of course you couldn't really do a movie like that without being assasinated.

LOL! Oh dear, what a cartoon! 'Bambi' and 'Dumbo' made me cry, I can't imagine what 'Mohammed' would do to a child. (Although I have a good idea, I've seen Charles' slideshow.)

I wonder if Mohammed will be represented as a normal Disney character, but with his face scratched off, or 'disappeared', the way that usually happens to offensive things. Or maybe he will be a singing calligraphic symbol?

I guess I better get to work on my project and set up a site so I can do a call for entries. This is going to be fun. I figure it's harder to firebomb, kidnap and decapitate an internet site than an actual gallery and gallery manager. Not that Muslims would ever do that, being nice people representing the RoP and all. I'll announce when the iGallery is up. Artists' names will be withheld for safety reasons, though.

:)

#246 Joshua

Yes, yes, YES! Mo done "Southpark" style!

I love it!

#248 NuclearTinkerbell

I kind've like the idea of Mo being singing calligraphy---or, maybe, they'll use that weird dancing blank spot over his face, like they do with the people that get arrested on "Cops."

You know, they could do it Claymation style, like the California raisins---"A California Raisin Ramadan!" (I really am going to stop this now!)

TEAM ISLAM: WORLD PROPHET

Must. Stop. Giggling.

Theme song? IiiiiiSLAM! F*ck No!

The revisionist bits about Jesus and the Jews would be pretty damn funny done by Trey Parker.

You know in the Muslim version, instead of Jesus being crusified, God disguises a little kid to magically look like Jesus while the actual Jesus hides under the bed.

They drag the little kid out and crusify him (Muslim child sacrifice just like today). Then Jesus goes directly to heaven with all that plebian nuesance of dying like ordinary nobodies have to go through. It's exactly the opposite of the Christian version where Jesus showed his solidarity with humans by being one of us.

I don't think Mo really meant to subvert the message of Christianity. I think he was actually illiterate and couldn't even imagine a religion where the messiah isn't given special perks, like extra wives and people dying for him.

Typo, damn it. Of course I meant to type "Then Jesus goes directly to heaven without all that plebian nuisance of dying like ordinary nobodies have to go through. "

#252 Joshua

---And when the kid is dragged out, somebody shouts, "Omigod, they killed Jesus!" (Or Kenny.)

I love the monster theme.

That's IT. KENNY was the little kid who died instead of Jesus!

I love it! Yeah, I could see a singing, Cartman-voiced Isa, thanking the little shaheed for taking one for the team.

Didn't Judas get crucified in Isa's stead? And Isa ascend to heaven through a hole in the roof or something? Where is everiste when you need him?

Oooo! Singing sacrificial halal ramadan cows!

Is Isa their name for Jesus?

Mo (hallucinating): "Allah? Is that you? Or is it Shaitan talking?"

Aisha (from the kitchen): "Were you talking to me, Mo?"

Mo: "No, umm... Just Allah."

Well, I've always thought that Palestinian suicide bombers were the richest vein for Islamist humor.

I asked my neighbor from Israel if they make fun of Palestinian terrorists on TV in Israel, and she said - no they have no sense of humor about these things. I said that its a pity. I think the Palestinian need to subjected to constant ridicule.

Imagine a comedy about a future Israel where they let all of the Jew hating Palestinians come back and live in Israel... You could have the terrorist family up the street that's always trying to get their son into a suicide backpack and get revenge for the trashcans being knocked over by the zionists or for the dog barking or because the sluts don't wear burkas or something...

I can see a endless sources of merryment.

Skits about people wearing 200 pounds of bulky explosives trying to get on buses ...

I think Jesus=Isa
Who does the voice for Allah? Robin Williams? James Earl Jones? Eartha Kitt? Ha!

Oh and the attitudes of arab haters makes GREAT running gags.

Every time one of them fails to win the lottery or pick up a pretty girl or get an erection or something he could talk about how this is the result of a zionist plot and how there won't be justice until Islam controls all of historic Palestine - or about how all Israelis are "legitimate targets" there isn't one innocent Israeli, even a baby. Or everything (say being caught shoplifting) could be called occupation and "violence is the only legitimate form of resistance [straight off Arafat's web site]".

I think your right about the need for ridicule. Taking them seriously is the worst thing we can do for their self-esteem. It lends them a certain amount of credibility and importance.

They deserve scorn, ridicule, and shame. They are bottom feeders and deserve to be portrayed as such. Art is not reflecting this right now. It just wouldn't be sensitive.

Team America was brilliant because the notion of a sacred cow was demolished. Not even the sacred cow poster child, the AIDS victim, was given a pass. Art needs to grow some backbone and reflect people's fears without the sacred cow handicap.

I can see, though, why Israelis wouldn't want to joke about it. After 9-11, it was very hard to laugh at anything. Certain jokes were just, wrong.

Gottfried's just annoying. And Moranis' character is too submissive to do anything Mohammad did (though he'd be awfully funny trying).

Let's see, who does a good self-serving and dishonest well.

Steve Martin could do it.

#268 NuclearTinkerbell

Sometimes I think one reason that the Israelis are so hated in the Middle East is that they're the only soft target.

The truth is always backwards for Muslims. Israel is the ONLY country in the middle east that HASN'T had huge massacres of thousands of Palestinian civilians. And so being the only safe target, they're the only people blamed.

And any other country in the world would respond to a weak enemy on their boarder sending terrorists by crushing them.

It sounds like Israelis are so wimpy that they won't even ridicule their enemies. - Though lawyers and corporate cowardice and institional cowardice (PCness) is turning the US into wimps that way too. But I think with Jews it probably more of a moral thing than a fear of lawyers or of losing market share.

Good night Tink. (I believe!)

Oh and Christopher Lloyd would be great.

It means that you're a Bush voter afraid of changing horses midstream. How's that for dream interpretation?!

Speaking of dreams. About a month an acquaintance of mine had a dream of me and my boyfriend going to Constantinople to defend the Zionist dream. She didn't undrestand why Constantinople because it's not Israel.

What I found interesting, she wasn't perplexed that she dreamt of Constantinople, not Istanbul. My guess is, she recently found out about the upcoming Crusade movie, which led her to believe that me and my boyfriend are imperialist Zionist crusaders.

Never tell friends about your dreams. Or what you make out of theirs...

Now every gal in constantinople
lives in istanbul, not constantinople
so if you’ve a date in constantinople
she’ll be waiting in istanbul.
