Brains: Comics, Pajamas, Cartooning, and Stringing Up World Leaders By Their Balls.

[elfs]

Matthew Yglesias, who coined the phrase "The Green Lantern Theory of Politics," approves of Barack Obama's comic book collecting.

And since Obama (and Rachel Maddow) both collect comics, will Keith Olbermann stop making fun of Sean Hannity's love of Superman comics?

Speaking of Rachel Maddow, she did her show last night in her pajamas to show solidarity with bloggers everywhere.

"Ah, but do you want to end up like Bush?"

"I am going to hang [Georgian president Mikhail] Saakashvili by the balls," Mr Putin declared told President of France Nicolas Sarkozy.

"Hang him?" Sarkozy said.

"Why not? The Americans hanged Saddam Hussein."

"Yes, but do you want to end up like Bush?"

Mr Putin was briefly lost for words, then said: "Ah — you have scored a point there."

WWII US Armed Forces Guide to Cartooning

This fascinating little guide from WWII is politically incorrect and fun, although in truth the entire lesson can actually be found in the bottom panel of page 2.

Comments

That WWII Cartooning guide would be useful

for anyone who wanted to do some retro art, actually.

Ursula Vernon just had quite a powerful observation on the merit and power of comic books as a medium for communication that seems to generate closer links between artist and viewer than many other forms of art.

Sarkozy 3, Putin 0...

Is Rachel not the most wonderful thing?
And so cute in pajamas...(*mrrow*)

Hannity is a useless dick, so he will keep getting dicked
(like the old punk slogan: 'if it ain't stiff, it ain't worth a fuck')

I have to wonder why anyone would defend themselves against comments made by idiot sore loser has-beens that just torpedoed their own careers on national TV in spectacular fashion. The comment could have just as well come from Courtney Love. Palin is now just a footnote of a footnote in history, a super-hard answer on Jeopardy in 4 years.
