It's a New Year

Posted by Keys to the Right on Monday, January 19, 2009 12:29:02 PM
Well folks, it's a brand new year and I figure I may as well stop by and give y'all an update.  So you're probably wondering where the heck I've been over the past few months. 
Well I was recently introduced to a wonderful little sight called deviantART.  One of my old college buddies and fellow anime nerds introduced me to that site and we both got an account together.  So I've basically been over there looking at other artists' work and making some fun little fancomics of shows I like.  I hate to say it but I haven't had any inspiration to do an editorial cartoon, which is unusual since I have great fodder for one, but I guess my intrests have just changed.  But don't panic I'm sure that I'll come up with something eventually, but until then I will be back as often as I can to Townhall to check out y'all's blogs and update mine when there's something politically cool or relevant to write about and post a cartoon now and then.  Until then I'll be busy drawing little fancomics.  Feel free to check deviantART out for yourself, but I will warn you that it does contain alot of wierd and somewhat vulgar stuff that people consider "art" but they have some really talented photographers on that sight.  (Thought you might like to hear that BrianR.)
While we're on the subject I have come to an executive decision, I will no longer be posting episodes of Death Note on this blog.  I don't think there's a lot of intrest in it among my viewers but for those of you that are interested I will post a link to a Website that has all the episodes on it if you wish to continue watching it.  The episodes are in their original Japanese language with English subtitles but if you want episodes dubbed in English just search on Youtube.

OK, the press has been talking about the inaguration of "President-Elect" Obama ad nauseum and I'm sure the rest of y'all are just about as sick of it as I am.  OK it's cool that he's the first  president of color and all, I'll say that much but people have been wishing that he succeed, but all know he's not!  (At least not by conservative standards anyway.)  I shudder to think at what this country will look like at the end of his term but I know I'm just gonna have to ride it out until it's over.  His whole cabinet seems like the Clinton administration redux and that should cause us all to lose a little sleep.
I have picked a classic rock song to serve as the official theme of Inaguration Day and I know I'll be waking up to it tomorrow morning and for the next four years.  These guys are gonna be in my area soon but I'm broke so I can't go to their concert! WHAAAA!!! Oh well, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwxJ46HWXbA
Buckle up folks, cuz the "change" is coming.

Olympic and Political Fever!

Posted by Keys to the Right on Sunday, August 31, 2008 1:56:44 PM
OK OK, I know the Olympics are over but this is what my cartoon pertains to.  How many of y'all watched them?  I caught some of the action, my dad mostly watched the shooting sports and I watched some of the swimming and gymnastics.  (Yay Michael Phelps! <3)  But seriously how many of y'all believed that those Chinese gymnasts were 16?  They looked like there were seven or nine!  What's worse is that as soon as they games were over, they went back to work in a factory or rice patty and didn't get to keep their medals. *sigh* 
But I decided to find some humor in all of this so here's my take on the Chinese gymnasts.
 
Olympics '08
I have to say right now that this one didn't turn out as well as it looked in my head, but most of my cartoons never do.

So remember when I asked y'all to vote on what y'all thought McCain'r REAL campaign theme song should be, well the votes are (no recounts) and Virginia Daddy's pick of "O Do Not Forsake Me" by They Might be Giants is the winner!  Unfortunatly I couldn't find a decent video of it on Youtube so you'll just have to ask VADaddy for the words.

So I am now STOKED about McCain's pick for Veep.  He actually found someone more right leaning, was from Alaska, pro-life, pro-second amendment and she's a woman!  (Take that Hillary!)  So things are looking up with Sarah Palin riding shotgun, she could be best described as kawaii (cute) while Biden could best be described as kowaii (scary.  And there's your Japanese language lesson for today.) And even though this was pretty predictable, after the announcement the media and liberal cartoonists pounced on her and called her inexperienced (as opposed to what?) faster than Light Yagami could write down a criminal's name in his Death Note.

Speaking of Yagami-kun, you asked for more so I will be posting more episodes of Death Note for your pleasure.  But here's something you need to know: anime goes in sequential order most of the time, you have to watch each episode in order or else you're going to be totally lost.  I have all of them posted on my blog but if you're too lazy and want a synopsis I will gladly give you one.  So please enjoy episode 11, Assault, (no battery thought).  BTW, sorry it's taken so long to get back, I've been wrapped up in the Olympics and have been working like a dog at the paper.

All About McCain!

Posted by Keys to the Right on Wednesday, July 30, 2008 4:00:04 PM
Just like the title says, this post is all about McCain!
I'd like to begin with a cartoon that centers around the speculation over McCain's runningmate and takes a rather cheap shot at the Arizona senator's age.  I felt kinda bad drawing this but, if it's true it can't really be wrong can it?  The truth is, McCain is going to be 72 year old.  He's not getting younger.   He needs to pick someone who is physically able to take over in case he ever is called to appear on a Sunday show with Tim Russert and Tony Snow before his first term is up.  And I was all for Bobby Jindal at first (Jindal is da man!) but I would be happy with Romney or Thompson.  At the very least pick someone who is more right leaning than you are for crying out loud!  I may just vote for McCain because he picks Romney, which is a dumb reason but still...

I still have mixed feelings about McCain.  While he's not very conservative at all, he's still a lot more right of center than Obama is, and he's actually shed blood for this country, something Obama's never done.  I don't know, I just don't know...

Anyway, it's time to pick a REAL Campaign Theme Song for McCain!  I saw a song by Johnny Cash titled "The Man on the Right is on the Left" that I thought would fit, but then I got to thinking, why not let my loyal watchers pick?
So for the first time ever on Keys to the Right, you get to vote on what McCain's REAL Campagin Theme Song should be!  Just leave a comment about what it should be and I'll pick the best one or whichever one gets the most votes! 
 
And as promised, Death Note is back!  Is anybody really watching this?  That's another thing I want y'all to vote on.  Let me know if you want me to contiunue posting Death Note or not because if nobody's watching it seems kinda pointless.  I'd hate to kill it off but when the people speak...So until then I leave y'all with Episode 10, Doubt.  Murder, intrigue and...a tennis match?

Shock, Disgust and Obama's REAL Campaign Theme Song

Posted by Keys to the Right on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 8:20:37 PM
I'm not sure how many of y'all have heard this but one of my college friends told me that Fred Phelps and his infamous gang at Westboro Baptist Church will be headed to Washington tomorrow (7/17/08) to protest at Tony Snow's funeral.  I don't know about any of y'all but if I didn't have to work that day I would hop on the back of a Patriot Guard rider's bike headed to D.C. and get in between those pukes and the church!  Maybe God will strike Phelps and his crew with lightning or something, and Tony would laugh about it.
In other news, I fished out this cartoon I drew for my dad as a Father's Day present and thought y'all might like to see it.  I got the idea for it after hearing about all these dumb kids at Berkley protesting the Marine Corp recruiting office that was there.  Are these kids so thick as to not realize where their freedom to protest comes from.  They should be thanking these Marines (and every other branch of the military for that matter).  Plus I drew a Marine because my dad's an old jarhead and the Corp has always been pretty close to our family's heart.
As far as Obama's campaign theme song goes, I thought a little Johnny Rivers would be fitting.  A little bird told me some time ago that this particular song was featured in "Jesus Christ Superstar," and I thought it was appropriate the the Obamaina that's been going on.  While this video isn't nearly as interesting as the Meredith Brooks song I picked out for Hillary (you know which one), it's still pretty funny. 
And there won't be any Death Note this time around, this post is long enough already but don't fear, Light, L, Ryuk and the rest of the crew will return next time!
