Best NOM ad parody
Why do right wingnut groups come up with such bizarre self-consciously serious propaganda that people can’t help but parody it?
We could blame the failures of the school system. But it could also be that some things are just ineffable.
My little parody:

Glenn Beck and Fox News
So we all know Glenn Beck is unbalanced, even those who take most of his antics as “loving his country” (sob) “so much” (sob). Some of us think he’s either more than a little unbalanced, which means he’s a mentally ill person being manipulated (did I say this somewhere before) or a total liar and hypocrite. Colbert did a great takedown a la Jon Stewart the other day. I’d show you the original Beck footage it is based on, but you get the idea.

And now, a parody of the Beck show. Make sure you watch it twice so you can read those whacky news trailers on the chyron.

Video update day
The fur is flying fast and hard. The Republican party is so busy parodying itself that they don’t seem to realize what an easy target they have made of themselves, and how hard the majority is laughing at them.
Let’s see what we have here:
First of all, the Rick Santelli thing. After Santelli, who poses as an analyst on CNBC but is actually just another greedy derivatives trader, decided to hold a rehearsed and scripted anti-homeowner rally on the trading floor, it turned out that the Republican party had orchestrated a series of “Tea Parties” for protesting against unfair taxes. They were poorly attended (50 here, a few hundred there). Watch some of their philosophers at work.

Surely everybody remembers how McCain’s backing out of his Letterman interview may have cost him the election. Well, Rick Santelli got cold feet after agreeing to go on The Daily Show, and don’t you know, finally somebody did some real research and showed America what CNBC is good for.

New York Times Special Edition
The other day a “special edition” of the New York Times dated July 4, 2009—a parody, actually—was printed and distributed in major cities. There was only good news to be seen: end of the wars, health care, etc. At the time I first got the link, the website—a perfect copy of the real NYT site— was not working. Later, only the front page worked, but now all the links are working, so enjoy!

Cheney endorses McCain
Or, hammering the last nail into the coffin.
Seriously, whose side is Cheney on? Is he really so unaware that he is arguably the most hated man in America that his endorsement will only hurt McCain and the rest of the Republican ticket? Even Bush has decided to stay out of sight until after the election is over.
There are, of course, those who say that the Republicans are trying to lose so they can obstruct the Democrats for the next 4 years, then sweep back in on big victories in Congress and the White House. Something tells me that if they push enough Republican Senators over the edge, they may get far more results than they wanted out of the next few years.
You should be careful what you wish for. You may get it.
Countdown to impeachment!
