| WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
Back on September 28 the blogosphere was in a brouhaha about Kerry's tan:
No one could really figure out what he was up to.
Turns out that this was a coordination with UBL gone awry. Since they needed to be on message together (you know, Bush deceived, Bush wavered, blood for oil, i.e. see Michael Moore-isms repeated by UBL and Kerry), Kerry thought it would be appropriate to match tans with UBL. He was working off of this picture which was the most recent photo that he had:
But, since UBL has been, oh, on the run since September 11, 2001, he's aged about 20 years in the last three. He just doesn't quite have the same spunk that he did. His shoulders are a little more slumped, his eyes not as bright, looking quite pale actually, kind of like a guy just maybe looking for a time out. Soon after September 28, Kerry got a new photo of UBL -
And so decided to go back to a more congenial coloring so as to not upstage his ally. They have been able to stay on message together and manage to look pretty much the same since. They have made some subliminal attempts at coordination for the faithful. Since it wouldn't look appropriate for Kerry to wear a doo-rag, the Kerry campaign thought it would make do with a near-the-head floating white object, with a purposeful UBL look and coordinated jackets, just so that when UBL appeared, everyone would be subliminally reminded of the common message.

Vote George Walker Bush!
UPDATE: My post was (almost) entirely in jest. But friend Rizzn Do'Urden (not a Bush supporter) has compared the translation of Bin Ladin's video with statements from the Kedwards site. Chilling.
