Sarah Palin Cast In "Attack Of The 50-Foot Woman"

[JGeropoulas]

I just went to buy some groceries. Typically it's quick trip to pick up the 5 healthy products they stock. I was almost out of harms way when I was punched in the gut by the front page of USA Today depicting the election results. Except for a fringe of blue Democrats on each coast, the entire U.S. was blood red everywhere!

I did a few pipe breaths on my trip to the health food store. That shopping trip took a little longer and provided some needed distraction from the Tea Party Take-Over.

Then while waiting in line to pay, I saw the cover of Mother Jones. Their revamp of that classic B movie poster (link below) was such creative, delightful satire that I laughed out loud. My levity was quickly leveled by the subtitle lamenting, "A confused and frightened citizenry votes against its own self-interest".

The stupidity of sheep trusting shepherds always saddens me. My sadness only worsened upon seeing another article hitting closer to the core problem: "Invasion of the Brain-Devouring Platitudes" (or was it "Paramoralisms"?)

Anyway, here's that "laugh out loud" part. Enjoy it--for a minute at least.

Here's another cartoon depicting efforts to rescue Americans from a flood of Red ink which acompanies the article, "Attack On The Middle Class (First they came for your paycheck. Then your house. What's next?)." The superhero is screaming, "it's only rescuing people at the top!"

Its good that you were able to find humor. Laughter is helpful. However I would like to make the point that it does not matter which color "purple" the map is, blue, red, a mixture, the outcome will be the same. The psychopaths are in control, and the color of their skin doesn't change anything...

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is that the Republicans have the "courtesy" of screwing you to your face.

I'd also like to believe that things have fundamentally changed and we are all in for a load of s*&^. Unfortunately, nothing has fundamentally changed except for my ability to see what is happening. SSDD. However, in the mean time, wasn't that picture really funny?? In a kind of "punch you in the gut" sick sort of way?

Glad you could appreciate the humor and I completely agree with your point--one I make often to anyone who dares listen to me :) I guess I've been conditioned by Hitler's legacy to reflexively fear Republican "Fascism" more than the Democrats' "Communism" -- as if the Russian Revolution was Woodstock. LOL So whether it's the "Red Scare" of the Republicans or the "Red Scare" of the Communists--the results are always the same.

It's just political sheep-herding: one shepherd drives 'em from the right, another from the left, etc. until they herd the flock into the slaughter-house.

As Ghandi said, “What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?”
