Before we get to the cartoon, I would like y'all to watch something my dad found while he was goofing off around Youtube. It's a powerful message from a former solider to Senator Obama. If you don't get a lump in your throat after watching this, you may want to check your patriotism.
Dear Mr. Obama
Alrighty then, now I know the whole Bristol Palin pregnancy is old hat but I wanted to do a cartoon about it anyway. I wanted to capture the arrogance of Obama in this cartoon while at the same time making a subtle hint at that barbaric policy of killing a baby after a botched abortion that he supports. I know people are gonna get smeared during a campagin but could we please leave the kids out of it? Nobody has gone after Obama's girls have they? Bristol Palin made a mistake but her and her boyfriend are going to make it right, I mean what do you expect her parents to do, shun her? Leave them out of it! I still like Gov. Palin a lot more than I like Sen. Biden but the whole Troopergate thing raises a few eyebrows. She's gonna be on Hannity and Colmes and I'm torn between watching that and Fringe, but I'm not missing the season premiere of House for anything!
Speaking of Sean Hannity, he stated a few weeks ago that journalism was officialy dead, and I'm inclined to agree with him. Objective journalism died off years ago, and Tim Russert was the last one of the objective mainstream journalists in my opinion. With the advent of the Obamessiah the media has been throwing softballs and fawning over this guy like crazy that there's practically no need to watch or read the news for objective information anymore. It's really quite sad actually.
Speaking of which, I recently hopped of the print media band wagon because A) there's not a living wage in it anymore and B) with the advent of the Internet, newspapers are going the way of the dinosaur. I hate to give up on something I spent four years worth of college studying for but I've found another job that pays a living wage and I still have my blog. :) So my journalist endevors shall continue. Unlike objective journalism.
So to "commemerate" the fallen institution I have selected my favorite song from one of my favorite bands My Chemical Romance, "Dead!" I have to tell you right now that I freakin' love this song! If I ever get a chance to be on American Idol, this is the song I will sing.
I have to warn you that it does have a bit of a tounge and cheek language issue so I'm only going to post the link to it here. If you're in the mood to rock go ahead.
That song also reminds me of Death Note and while we're on the subject here's Episode 12 Love. You wanted romance Scarlet or Redhead, you got it, cuz now the series introduces Misa, the most annoying character in the series in my opinion. Please feel free to fast forward through the annoying opening theme song, I do.
Death Note belongs to Tsugumi Ohba (the writer), Takeshi Obata (the artist) and VIZ Media (the American company that brought it to the States).
