Best Obama New Yorker Cover Quote

Best quote ever!!
Barack Obama should in no way be upset about the cartoon that depicts him as a Muslim extremist, because you know who gets upset about cartoons? Muslim extremists.

--Jon Stewart

You want offensive, I got offensive.

Check out this page portion from a recent Johnson-Smith catalog (I'm guessing that at least one of you used to read comic books):

The George W and Hillary toilet brushes offer equal oppty offense, but the "below cost" Hillary doll, providing at the "press of a button she wriggles in robotic dance moves to a corrupt version of 'My Country 'Tis of Thee'" is seriously OTT.

Nice Frankenstein monster boots, BTW.

OK kids, this is worthy of yet another ejaculation[*] of "Jeezus Tapdancing Kee-rist!"

[*] whoo-boy, that ain't gonna help your rating, no matter how apropos the word might be.

And you thought the nutcracker was bad!

Reminds me of a friend who went to get a most excellent Ruby[*] in Vegas. He ordered a vindaloo and told the waiter to make it as hot as possible. The waiter replied with the sage phrase, "I would not challenge the chef in that area, sir!"

PS -- a friend pointed out that the boots I admired so much came from a "re-purposed" toy of the "dancing Santa" variety, although I don't think Santa ever had truck with a corrupted version of My Country 'Tis o' thee."
