"Nobody Messes With Joe Biden!"

Click on pic to enlarge!
Here we have now-Vice President Joe Biden crawling around in the Alaskan snow in his underwear. He has a big smile on his face and seems to be oblivious to the fact that he has metaphorical moose antlers on his head which make him a target for the figurative gun firings of Sarah Palin during the VP debate! At the time of Sarah Palin's introduction to the national scene, I admittedly was scared of her. This picture of Joe Biden is only part of a larger Sarah Palin painting I made where I attempt to express these fears. The conservative base, when they are fired up and chanting and screaming and excited and happy are actually quite scary. And it baffled and disappointed me how Joe Biden and Obama just seemed to go about their business, prancing about in the snow of the campaign trail, saying very little about Sarah as she launched one attack upon them after another.

This image of Joe Biden also serves to represent how he is seen by many of his conservative critics, as some goofy guy with a big smile on his face who talks too much. I love Joe Biden, though. He seems like a nice guy. I love his smile and his bright white teeth. Though he can seem a bit goofy in ways and is easy to make fun of, there is no doubt that there is a nasty BITE in those teeth of his and as Obama said in his recent address to congress, "NOBODY MESSES WITH JOE!!"

Sarah Palin In Pink Underwear With Armed Baby In Taco Shell

Click on pic to enlarge!
I don't think anyone can deny that a big appeal of Sarah Palin is her cute, down-home country looks and those stylish glasses she wears. I admittedly have often wondered what she looks like in her underwear so I made this little picture of her. Here she is shown pregnant again, in a pink bra and pink bottoms. She holds one of her family's latest children in her hands and has placed him in a warm, delicious taco to keep him cozy and comfortable during those long Alaskan winters. As you can see, the taco has the youth fired up beyond belief as he holds a gun in his hand and is more than ready to do battle with all those commies and socialists and media meanies who would dare try to smear his mother or take away the money or liberties of REAL Americans.

This picture also continues to develop my evolving vision of "underwear politics" where (wear?) I have Republicans wearing pink underwear. This has a connection to the Republican elephant logo and the notion of "seeing pink elephants" as a metaphor for people's delusions, but it also, especially in regard to the Republican males, serves as a playful, ironic swipe at their macho, cowboy self-images.

Sarah Palin Has An Eskimo Sister Who Supports Obama

Click on pic to enlarge!
We all know of one of Sarah Palin's sisters, the one whose husband was the subject of Palin's alleged "abuse of power" in the scandal known as "Trooper Gate." Sarah was accused of having her policeman brother-in-law fired for his subjecting her sister's child to a taser gun. But little is known about Sarah's other sister who is actually a half-sister and just happens to be an eskimo. Oh and get this-- she is also an Obama supporter! Yes, folks, that is why this unknown sister has been hidden away by Sarah and forced to live in an igloo out in the middle of the intolerable, miserable conditions of the cold Alaskan terrain. I decided to include Sarah's ostracized eskimo sister as part of my larger "Sarah Palin Scares Me!" painting in an attempt to get the media on to this story and run with it. I am concerned that Sarah's eskimo sister is still stuck out in the freezing snow and may not even realize that Obama won the election! I guess at some point at the start of the Democratic primaries, Sarah and her eskimo sister were at a family gathering. They were all sitting around the table eating mooseburgers when Sarah's eskimo sister started talking about Obama and hope. That's when Sarah got out her own personal taser gun, started prodding her eskimo sister out the door and told her, "I HOPE you freeze to death out there! There's NO WAY Alaska is going to turn blue this year but your whole body sure is going to once you're stuck outside for awhile!"

Todd Palin Is Jesus In His Wife's Alaskan Hell

Click on pic to enlarge!
While many liberals were hailing Barack Obama as the messiah during the election and conservative talk show radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh did so mockingly, I had a different person to portray as the savior in mind. After hearing so many horrible things about poor Sarah Palin I figured the man who was married to her had to be some kind of saint to put up with being attached to such a witch. So I started having these delusions that Todd Palin must be Jesus and there he was having to live in the freezing, snowy cold in his wife's Alaskan Hell. While Sarah laughingly said she liked to refer to him as the "First Dude," I started to think of him as FIRST DUDE, PERIOD!! So it made me feel better to think of The Son of Todd's halo illuminating a blanket of cheerful, loving goodness upon his wife's misdeeds such as book banning, slaughtering wolves, abuses of power, tax evasion, having her daughters baby, inciting hate and the list just goes on and on!

Sarah Palin Holds A Spork And Incites The Mob

Click on pic to enlarge!
Sarah Palin here holds a spork smeared in hot sauce to represent her rallies where she seems to incite so much anger from conservatives over Obama and what they say he represents. In the world of "Obama Taco Underwear", pitchforks and the figurative blood of the innocent became sporks smeared in hot sauce. I like to use what I guess are sort of "visual euphemisms" to represent the more distressing and disturbing aspects of political and world reality, which definitely comes in handy when you are trying to visually document a Sarah Palin rally. Her rallies during the 2008 election campaign were some of the most disturbing and frightening examples of mob mentality I've ever seen taking place in America on such a national level. Obama proposes to make the rich pay just a bit more in taxes and the mob shouts out "Socialist! Commie!" Obama has an innocent "welcome to the neighborhood" meeting with William Ayers and the mob shouts "Terrorist!" I find the conservative base to be a truly frightening, over-dramatic bunch. Their leaders "cherry-pick" little snippets of things to use as red meat and then allow their constituents to gnaw at this red meat like crude animals, their bellies growling and maws and claws exhibited as they exaggerate and blow everything out of proportion, even to the extent where an important faction of the conservative base, the evangelicals, are constantly saying that "the world is ending" simply because Obama is attempting to strike some balance in how our financial system operates, or because he doesn't look, think and act just like them.

Mitt Romney Wins CPAC Straw Poll. Ron Paul Ties Palin For Second

Republican stand-out, Mitt Romney got the longest straw at CPAC yesterday, which means that conservatives see him as the front-runner so far in the 2012 Presidential Campaign. He beat out Bobby Jindal and even everyone's folksy, gorgeous darling, Sarah Palin, for the honor. What is interesting is that Ron Paul actually tied with Sarah Palin for second place with 13%. This is actually no big deal since this is the THIRD TIME IN A ROW that Romney has been picked and of course he has yet to attain a GOP nomination in an actual election. What is also interesting is that conservatives seem to early on pick someone who is just right of center and good with business skills, what seems like a rational pick. But when the actual election starts they realize they need the hardcore, grass-roots evangelical base to do all the grunt work for them. So they end up having to pander to them with a VP pick like Sarah Palin or through having high-profile far right-wing figures endorse them; or by advocating far right ideas themselves, which ruins the front-runner's chances. The simple fact seems to me that the Republicans just don't have enough people out there to win a national presidential election anymore. No wonder they are hoping Obama fails miserably because the only chance they have is on riding the reverse coat-tails of someone else's failure. Oh wait, did Obama do that with Bush?

Sarah Palin Painting

Friday, August 29th, 2008 was John McCain's birthday but this year it was also a day of horror for me. On August 28th Barack Obama gave his wonderful, inspiring speech at Invesco Field to cap off the Democratic convention. It was sure to give him a bounce in the polls but this good feeling would not last for long as the SARAH PLAIN ALASKAN HORROR SHOW quickly followed the very next day when John McCain, on his birthday, announced that the female, gun-toting, bible-thumping, moose-hunting governor of Alaska would be his vice-presidential running-mate. Shortly thereafter, Senators Obama and Joe Biden would become the "moose" of many Republicans' jokes and I've tried to depict that here by portraying them both with moose antlers. . . .. . . .. . . click here to read more
