Virtual Delegate

At a shoddy-ass online shindig called the Democratic Convention, where they're shitting all over the Left by publicly rehabilitating Colin Powell and all other manner of neocon crazies and war criminals, they add the extra kick in the nuts of presenting a rank butchery of one of the most iconic protest songs of all time — with the able assistance of its composer himself. This clumsily performative shit sandwich breaks the Cringe-O-Meter handily, and will be the William Shatner Doing "Rocket Man" Footage of this era.

New York City 2004 GOP Convention Protest Poster

Here's another one of those gags that pretty much drew itself. On hearing the news that New York City would have the dubious honor of hosting the 2004 Republican Convention, this image slammed into my head like a runaway train and refused to go away:

This was my part towards inspiring locals and visitors alike to hit the streets and give the GOP a good old-fashioned New York City welcome, and to let the Bush Mob know that the people of NYC weren't going to allow themselves to be cast as "extras" in a fascist corporate infomercial (which is basically what the Republicratic and Demopublican Conventions had become by this time).
