    The more I look at that thing, the less I understand it.

    I'm glad it's on the last page. With any luck I'll forget it when the next stupid thing is posted.

    You're welcome.

    Also, fun interactive version! Can you find Satan in the picture?

    I found the green man!

    There was a fun time on fark a while back making fun of that one.
    And of course, the parody interactive version by David WIllis.

    Sorry, this one always amused me.

    Romney pointing out that the economy should be doing better is just so comical to me, given his proposed solutions.

    It's like a programmer confidently stepping up and saying that the algorithm should complete in 2 seconds rather than 5, and that by gum, he knows how to fix it. You ask him for details and he explains that he wants to put twizzlers into the DVD tray because twizzlers are delicious and they will make the computer work harder.

    Here's something crazy: why are liberals in government afraid of the wealth redistribution label?

    Yes I do fucking want it redistributed downward, it's the only sensible thing to do given where this is heading.

    Democrats are shitty at changing the public's mind. The media is a large obstacle to overcome, as well. That and the party would rather flip liberals the bird rather than admit they have a good idea.

    Also, the phrase "redistribution of wealth" is very firmly affixed to Karl Marx and various implementations of communism in the American memescape. Given that a nontrivial number of voters still have Red Scare programming, willfully accepting a communist-flavored label is political suicide.

    I firmly believe it would take all of 4 years, 12 at most, to reverse that trend, because that's all it took with Reagan. But you'd need overwhelming media coverage to reverse their trend of "pretend capitalism = god." And since they're all owned by corporate kleptocrats, good luck.
