This contest is fueled by the following news:
A lot of news takes place in any given week. We select stories each day that we think would generate good entries. This is your chance to select any news story from this week and create an image/parody photo. Remember to include a link to the news story in the Author's Comments section.
The incompetence, the corruption . . . and next, the indictments. Just the usual second-term meltdown or something far more . . . ? Ohmygod! He's back!
Anyone remember all that fooey about restoring "honor and dignity" to the White House?
Hallelujah! Angelic journalist/martyr Judith Miller is finally out of the Pit (that mean ol' special prosecutor!). Little "Miss Run Amok" is even yakking to Congress now . . . about something or other. If she would just give us the full scoop on her deal with the Devil (you know, how she helped him sell that war). Hey there, Mr. Devil, you better hurry; I hear they're trying to wrap up that sale on souls over at the NY Times.
October 17, 2005 and there's Rush Limbaugh on the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal! . . . (and I thought the guys at the New York Times were saps!) Mr. Limbaugh is, of course, America's number one blowhard (not that kind of blow) and drug-addicted hypocrite. In his Journal editorial he's smacking the liberals good and hard, as usual (not that kind of smack). According to the Dittohead in Chief, the left is "stuck on trying to repeat history" while the reigning conservatives are "focused on making history" (like that ain't the problem in a nutshell?) Furthermore, according to Rush, things like the Vietnam War, Watergate, and the Great Depression have no relevance to the present situation (I notice the Scopes Monkey Trial isn't on the list).
Anyway, in the picture above, Rush (and the dittoheads) are enjoying the pristine oxygen (that's oxygen, not OxyContin) at Mt. Rush-limbaugh-more, America's premier shrine to its Pantheon of Rightwing Demigods (not demagogues).
. . . only in RushWorld! (That electric pink? Sorry, but that's what you get when the Red States conquer the Blue States and they start interbreeding and getting high together.)
