When you can’t say it any better, just reblog it.

From elizaskinner.net, a fantastic comedian offers a passionate response to recent events:

Eliza Skinner

This last election was a wake up call – a reminder of what America is capable of when we work for change, and that there is still a lot of ugliness that needs changing. Yes we can.

The images are a little too WBAI for my taste, but the song I love:

Well, not me. But my namesake, who was running as the Republican candidate for Wisconsin State Assembly, lost in his bid to represent the 51st District.

This College Republican supports Russell for Assembly...ok not really.

Despite the endorsement of the Wisconsin State Journal, the support of the now-infamous College Republicans, and naming his oldest daughter Reagan, we got walloped by incumbent Steve Hilgenberg and his extremist liberal positions on cheese and the Packers.

I guess Hilgenberg’s time on the local school board, service in Vietnam, and 30+ years age advantage all played into his hands. Typical liberal bias.

One of these guys was in Vietnam.

Well, at least we’ve still got the Packers. Russell in 2010!

PS- No word on the farm sign. It’s going to be a sad Christmas around the other Russell house if there’s no 40-foot sign on the barn.

This game is AWESOME:

Another example of ths US returning to its core values.

Obama in the role of Mario, in Alaska, jumping on lipstick-wearing pigs, corporate lobbyists, and defeating Sarah Palin. Could it get any better?

I particularly like the “Bridge to Nowhere” board.

This “winning elections” thing feels pretty darn good.

The latest find, from the A-Train:

Unoriginal, uninspired, and kind of sexist.

While the penis-on-face is a proven penis graffiti technique, and can be hilarious when done correctly, I find this work tired and uninspiring.

First of all, why is the penis drawn on only one doctor, and not all four? And why is it drawn on the only female doctor in the ad? The artist was clearly going for an in-your-face penis joke, but fails miserably in creating anything other than a sexist cliche.

While the target is prime (does anyone actually watch this show?) the execution is lacking originality, and I find it to be misogynistic and bland.

Personally, I would have gone with penis-shaped stethoscopes, or maybe even penis-neck-tattoos.

This artist should quit the business.

RATING: 1 Penis (out of a possible 10)

I’ll get back to bathroom humor and viral videos shortly, but I wanted to comment on something I heard on the radio this morning that I found pretty scary.

While flipping through the AM Dial around 10AM, I happened upon 970AM, a right-wing talk radio station that makes its home here in NYC. During a long and hate-filled rant, commentator Mike Gallagher (any relation to the watermelon-smashing comic I wonder?) provided an account of a news story he heard about how the Illinois State Lottery Pick 3 numbers yesterday were 6-6-6.

In Mike’s pathetic little world, this occurance served to prove correct all of the internet nut-jobs who have been hailing President-Elect Barack Obama as the Antichrist. He went on to take calls from people who agreed with this twisted logic, and repeatedly proclaimed that this event was demonstrable proof of Obama’s status as an Antichrist figure straight from the book of Revelation.

It’s true that the lottery numbers in Illinois were 6-6-6 yesterday–although a Google News Search reveals that this was not a story picked up by ANY news organization, but rather posted on a religious blog.

Another Google Search for “Obama Antichrist” reveals numerous websites offering typical internut psychobabble about how Obama includes secret messages in his TV ads and strange mathematical calculations that demonstrate the mark of the beast on Obama.

Is this for real?

Free speech is sacred, and minority opinions–however absurd–deserve a place in our internet vernacular. But for a national radio figure like Mike Gallagher to give voice to these dangerous and (let’s be frank) psycotic accusations on his radio show is extremely irresponsible to say the least.

And especially now that Obama is the President-Elect, to broadcast this horrifying class of slander (which could endanger Obama’s safety in a very real way) should be marked Anti-American, bigoted, and beneath the standards of broadcast on the public airwaves.

Disagreeing with the President is one thing (God knows I disagree with almost everything George Bush stands for) but this crosses a line. Republicans have unsuccessfully attacked Obama on his policies, his background, and his relationships. But to call him the Antichrist? And on national radio?

C’mon guys, that’s disgusting. Mike Gallagher should be taken off the air and sent back to the cave he crawled out of.

Suck it, bitches.

Eating their own shit and loving it.

Hug it out.

The 2008 Election is an incredibly exciting event, not only because it will have a tremendous impact on the course of our nation, our standing in the world, the environment, health care, the Iraq War, and the financial crisis, but also because of the incredible volume of AWESOME videos that have been produced this election cycle!

It would be impossible to label a single video “THE BEST” of the year, but here are a few of my favorites from this historic election:

DOES PALIN GIVE YOU A BONER, CHARLIE?
Featuring the incredibly talented duo of Charlie Sanders & Anthony Atamanuik

RON HOWARD’S CALL TO ACTION
Opie, The Fonz, and Andy Griffith. Nuff said.

WordPress doesn’t support FUNNY OR DIE, so click here to view.

HOLLYWOD DIRECTOR ATTACK ADS
By the fantastic Landline TV

JOHN AND SARAH
Featuring amazing performances by Mike Still & Kristy Webb

It’s a great time to be alive with an internet connection.

AND DON’T FORGET TO VOTE!

Outrageous. Hilarious. Accurate. Poignant.

How many viral videos check all those boxes? This one hits all four in the opening line:

Incredible performance by Lil’ O’Reilly. They’ve gotta reprise this kid as Lil’ Sean Hannity, or at least Lil’ Allan Colmes.

And watch as he takes on Congressman Barney Frank:

Stephen Colbert eat your heart out. This kid rules.
