Would You Get a Tattoo of Your Favorite Candidate?

Sep 7 2008 - 7:00am by CitizenSugar

Holy commitment to the cause, Batman! A tattoo shop in Moore, Oklahoma is giving away free tattoos— of Barack Obama's face. The tattoo artist is an Obama supporter and says while he doesn't have money to give to the cause, he can donate his talent to help Obama-maniacs wear the Senators face — forever. The artist says, "I'm a tattoo artist and a lot of people that are into the tattoo thing like free tattoos." He's done about 100 of those free tattoos, a black and white likeness of the Senator with the words Obama 2008 in red. Is this wildly creative campaigning and a testimony to the fervor the 2008 campaign has inspired? Would you transfer your ballot to your back?

Would You Get a Tattoo of Your Favorite Candidate?

Why not? It's free, and what better way to remember a historic election?

Heaven's no. This is absurd! Candidates come and go, ink is forever.

Maybe? People get tattoos of less meaningful things all the time, right?

Other. I'll ink it up in the comments.

UK Environment Minister: Green Activism Hysterical Religion

Officials in Britain and California seem to take a different approach to extreme weather. Britain's Environment Minister Sammy Wilson thinks environmentalists have adopted a "hysterical pseudo-religion," making him the enemy to some who look to him to help solve environmental problems. In an article just published, the minister argued:Resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change, rather than King Canute-style vainly trying to stop it. .

Looking Back: Which Party's Convention Was the Best?

Looking Back: Which Party's Convention Was the Best?

Phew. I've run into quite a few people over the past few weeks who've seen both conventions top to bottom, and the question came up last night after the last balloon settled: Which convention was the best? In my mind it can be answered on a couple of levels — which convention looked the best, or which was more fun — but when it comes down to it, I think the real question is: Which convention did its job the best?

My mom reported in after McCain's speech saying, "I was worried when McCain started, but was in tears at the end. Your grandpa wanted me to take him to the post office to sign up again." While that's a rousing testimony to be sure, they were solid McCain voters before anyone set foot in St. Paul. So what do you all think? You've seen our coverage of both conventions — which party's did its job with an A++ super-gold star?

Looking Back: Which Party's Convention Was the Best?

The Republicans. They responded to disaster, kept it business-like, and Palin rocked.

The Democrats. The force of 80,000 people plus stellar content and production ruled.

Neither. The conventions are nothing but pomp. I'm pretty glad they're done.

Both. Each had a different job to do, and they responded well in kind.

Other. You got your balloon drop! I'll tell you what I think in the comments.

Baskin-Robbins' New Election Flavors! Which to Lick?

Baskin-Robbins' New Election Flavors! Which to Lick?

Just in time to cool off this heated election, Baskin-Robbins has released two spanking new flavors, one for each of the candidates. Ever wonder what two scoops of McCain tastes like? His flavor, Straight Talk Crunch is:
Caramel ribbon, chocolate pieces, candy red states and crunchy mixed nuts swirled into White Chocolate ice cream.

Think a lick of Barack is more your taste? His flavor, Whirl of Change, is:
Peanut-nougat ice cream whirled with chunks of chocolate-covered peanut brittle and a caramel ribbon.

I think they're willing to look the other way on the whole Obama doesn't like ice cream thing . . . Given the (banana) split of the country, what would election-themed flavors be without a chance to vote for your favorite? You can, in the Flavor Debate '08. From now until Oct. 20, sample the candidates' sweet stuff and vote online or in stores for the winner. I wonder if the ice cream war could be a useful replacement for the old Electoral College? It would be a sweeter contest, to be sure.Which flavor would you want to try first?

Baskin-Robbins' New Election Flavors! Which to Lick?

Straight Talk Crunch! Candy red states and mixed nuts? Sold.

Whirl of Change! Mmm. . . caramel ribbon-y goodness. Yes we can eat ice cream!

Other. I've got a cherry on top for the comments.

Sarah Palin on "Foreign Affairs Weekly" Cover: Funny Fake?

Sarah Palin on "Foreign Affairs Weekly" Cover: Funny Fake?

On Fox News this morning they compared this week's Us Weekly cover showing vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin next to the headline, "Babies, Lies, and Scandal," comparing it to the happy-couple Obama cover the mag ran a couple of months ago. The difference in cover treatment is stark to be sure. Then I ran across this satire of the ubiquitous tabloid covers — the very fake Foreign Affairs Weekly (uh, I kind of wish this was a real mag) cover put together by the panopticist. With headlines like, "Putin: Best Beach Body," and hitting Palin hard with, "On China: "The governor's mansion has a beautiful set," is this an amusing lampoon, or one more liberal slight?Source

Sarah Palin on "Foreign Affairs Weekly" Cover: Funny Fake?

Amusing lampoon. The object of derision is really the tabs, not the candidate. It's fine.

Liberal slight. Can you imagine a similar one on Obama? People would go nuts.

Either way, it's all in good fun. No harm done.

Other. I'll give you my opinion in the comments.
