The New Yorker v. Barack

The well-respected New Yorker jumped outside of the box this month with a cover of Barack and his wife giving a terrorist fist jab. It is meant to be sarcastic, pointing the finger at the ridiculous image right-wing media has created for Obama.

And while New Yorker covers are usually spot on, this one has to be the most confusing art direction choice I have seen in a LONG time. The Obama camp agrees. Get your act together guys, before your "satire" reaches the wrong people and flubs this whole thing.

CODY CHESNUTT - OBAMA

Chris Matthews Is Gangsta

If you haven't heard yet, on the 60th Anniversary of Israel's Independence George Bush gave a speech that compared Obama and the democratic party to the "Nazi appeasers" of the late 1930s. He made this blanket statement in reference to Obama's willingness to speak with countries that we are at war with.

Of course there are a handful of Republican talking heads supporting this preposterous & flimsy excuse for a man. This includes radio show host Kevin James, seen here, who made the big mistake of not knowing a thing in front of Chris Matthews, who called him out straight up on his fuckery.

We like, Chris! More of this in mainstream media and I might start watching the news regularly again.

Barack Obama On HBOs Real Sports

I meant to catch this a few weeks ago but I missed it. I LOVE that this guy is a lefty ballplayer with a jumper. First live footage shown of him playing other than that jumper he hit on CNN a month ago.
