Early tabulation of the popular vote resulted in Marvel Universe’s Daily Bugle prematurely calling the fictional Presidential election in the favor of Stephen Colbert, the bear-hating purveyor of “truthiness.” They even went as far as releasing the erroneous news on the front page.
New York City, November 5, 2008—The early results are in and the Daily Bugle is reporting that Stephen Colbert has won the United States Presidency in the Marvel Universe. While many states still have yet to report their numbers, Colbert is already claiming a victory.
But Colbert loving Marvelites will be disapointed to learn that in fact Stephen Colbert was defeated due to a lack of Electoral votes, meaning Barack Obama is President of the Marvel Universe’s United States as well as in our reality. I’m really glad that Obama won there too, (Might as well make comic book history as well as real history) but if was going to be anyone else, I would have wanted Stephen Colbert in every story about the President for the next 4 years,
Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich is the black-hearted tyrannical despot of her own front porch, but little else. She turned the revered seasonal holiday of Halloween into a political sideshow by refusing to offer candy to trick-or-treating children of Obama supporters. Going as far as turning away crying children, all she did was make herself and by association, her candidate, seem petty and small-minded. Stupid AND mean… she’s a catch fellas. Lets hear it for Mr. Nagel. His life must suck.
Lets hope her house is egged weekly for the next 4 years…
SNL brought the funny again last night with their 2nd of 3 Thursday night pre-election political specials. Not as funny as last week though. Really? Oh my god are you serious? remains hard to top.
The guys and gals at SNL have brought their political A game once again. Why can’t their regular sketches be this funny!!! I would LOVE to see a weekly weekend update in primetime. But to make that possible someone must clone Tina Fey. Anyone have a petrie dish and some of her DNA?
IDW Publishing has provided ComicBookResources previews of their thoroughly researched comic book biographies of the two leading candidates for President of the United States, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. “Presidential Material: Barack Obama” and “Presidential Material: John McCain” will be on sale October 8.

In case you missed it while you were buying three cases of beer to prepare for your “How Many Times Can Republicans Say the Word ‘Maverick’?” drinking game last night, here is the clip
Here are some inspiring speeches from the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Here are inspired wordss from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, 2 generations of Bidens and… John McCain(?). I’ll add more here as I find them so check this post again if interested. This one goes out to popapathy who may be apathetic about pop culture but makes me want to find out about about everything else.
Suggest anyone who gave a speech that moved you and I’ll try to find it and add it here.
How would Republicans like THIS as the cover to the National Review… methinks not much. In case you missed the satirical New Yorker cover that started all this brouhaha… click here.
FOX must stop injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue. We intend to hold FOX, its advertisers, and its personalities accountable for FOX’s attempts to smear the Obamas.
I am so sick of the sneaky underhanded way FOX News casually mentions some negative aspect or concept in the same breath of someone they want to smear. They have an audience of lemmings (I know they don’t really jump over cliffs, but the idiom is ingrained in the public lexicon by now, bit I digress…). Their audience is full of empty minds who soak up their bullshit like a smelly sponge. They call a presidential candidate’s wife his “baby momma,” cast what they THINK are aspersions on his religion (the M-word ooooh I’m scared) and practically call him a terrorist for not using the suburban hi-5.
Susan Sarandon, Hally Berry, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Sydney Poitier, Morgan Freeman and Ben Afleck are named as celebrity Barack Obama supporters, but all they can muster for McCain is Stephen Baldwin. Thats a bit sad. And this is FOX News, so you know they want McCain to look good. This is them trying.
I love the part at the end where he says “most stupidest”.
I like much of what Barack Obama has to say to the LGBT community.
John McCain, not so much.
Here is Barack Obama’s 2008 Gay Pride message…
I am proud to join with our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered brothers and sisters in celebrating the accomplishments, the lives, and the families of all LGBT people during this Pride season. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans.
It’s time to live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect. Let’s enact federal civil rights legislation to outlaw hate crimes and protect workers against discrimination based upon sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Let’s repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and demonstrate that the most effective and professional military in the world is open to all Americans who are ready and willing to serve our country. Let’s treat the relationships and the families of LGBT Americans with full equality under the law.
We are ready to accomplish these goals because of the courage and persistence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people who have are working every day to achieve equal rights. The gay couple who demand equal treatment in our family laws as they raise their children; the lesbian soldier who wants nothing more than to serve her country openly and honestly; the transgendered workers who asks for the simple dignity of being judged by the quality of their work. Generations of LGBT Americans, at once ordinary and extraordinary, have made possible this moment in our history. With leadership and hard work, we can fulfill the promise of equality for all.
Here are some of the LATEST atrocities committed in the guise of news by Fox News. In the first we see some indepth definition and explanation of the Obamas celebratory Wonder Twins moment followed by Fox News’ interpretation - complete with body language experts.
In the second we see Fox News referring to Michelle Omaba, Barack Obama’s wife of almost 16 years as “Barack’s Baby Momma.” Fox News always does their best to associate people with negative concepts, and their easily led flock eats it up with a spoon. They are well known for the memos about talking points to hit on and buzz words they want to attach to someone. Doesn’t matter what the word, it may be flip flopper, terrorist, or baby mama - they have no shame or scruples.
