Romnesia (a Scary Song for Halloween)

Another election meme transmitted through me in song. This one digs deep into Mitt's psyche...its a little weird in there.

Baby, Let Me Put You in a Binder (SONG)

Here's my contribution to the public discourse on Romney's "binders full of women"...

Politics Are Funny

To help Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prep for their debate tonight, I've collected some of my semi-relevant, semi-political stuff in one convenient post. So read up, guys, and if you use any of my zingers, I want credit!

New T-Shirts for the 47 Percent

Mitt Romney’s remarks at a private fundraiser, about how nearly half the electorate would support President Obama because they are “dependent upon government,” have energized un-self-reliant voters across America. They have also inspired this new line of T-shirts:   

 

I am the 47% dependent on Obama.

There's No "I" in Ayn Rand Club

Dear Brooklyn Ayn Rand Club members,

I’m writing to address some issues that have come up for me recently related to our club, and I hope you will hear me out. When I started the BARC, I was really looking forward to meeting people who shared an interest in objectivist philosophy, unregulated capitalism, and personal freedom. What I didn’t realize was that I would end up doing all of the work myself. This has got to change if the club is to continue, at least with me as a member.

Political Sexhibitionism: A Brief History

The nation is shocked to learn that Rep. Anthony Weiner uploaded and sent explicit photos of himself to women on Twitter. However, those in political power have always felt the need to expose their private parts to the public — and have used the latest technology and media to do so. Here are just a few examples:

James Buchanan sat for Daguerreotypes of his business in the White House. Since the process created a single image with no negative, ladies who received one felt like they were the one true love of the bachelor president. 

Benjamin Franklin used his considerable skills as a printer to produce the x-rated Proud Dick’s Almanack. He would often work late, engraving his likeness onto copper plates, to produce the popular broadside.

Napoleon is said to have spent the Battle of Waterloo in his tent scrawling heroic verse about his “general” for his mistresses. (An ostrich quill was his favorite writing instrument.) Psychologists attribute this behavior to a Napoleon complex.
 
Catherine the Great commissioned a Rococo landscape of her "hills and dales" to be displayed in the Hermitage.
 
Lorenzo de’ Medici had monks copy an illustration of his “magnificence,” day in and day out, for the better part of their lives. (The original may have been by Leonardo Da Vinci, a quickie for his patron.) The monks didn’t really mind, since they were sick of copying the Bible.
 
Charlemagne captured his “empire” with a camera obscura. This was mainly for his own enjoyment.

In the Paleolithic era, a tribal leader was ousted for painting his “thunder spear” on a cave wall at Lascaux. Since loin-cloths were not yet in use, they knew he was exaggerating.

In the future, our leaders will surely continue to create and distribute depictions of their genitals. What forms these will take, we can only imagine. Apps to view candidates’ crotch-cams can’t be far away. Eventually, when virtual sex becomes the norm, showing off one’s junk may become unnecessary or boring to politicians, as to everyone.
