Aw, Hell.

The genesis for this cartoon was the notion of what a Neocon Hell might look like. Specifically, what special torment could Satan inflict upon them that their own warped little minds and gelid little hearts hadn't already inflicted on others. After all, the typical Conservative response to seeing millions of poor wretched souls wallowing in their own filth would be "Seen it. Got the t-shirt. And the tax deduction."

I suppose a real Neocon Hell would be one without wars, with free health care and education for everyone, funded by an equitable tax system. It would rely on renewable energies and the water would be clean, the food would be safe to eat, and the air would be free from pollutants.

Ooh, scary.

(P.S. I can't believe I found a good use for a Satan Obama picture.)

Oh, That Mitt.

For those not following the Libyan Consulate story, here's how it went down:

(1) Coalition of nutbag Egyptian Copts and fundamentalist Christians fund and produce anti-Islamic slander-cinema.

(2) Libyan Consulate realizes that local Muslim community is really pissed about the film. Releases unofficial statement that religious tolerance is important.

(3) Muslims storm Consulate anyway.

(4) Romney pounces on unofficial Consulate statement, claims it came from the president. Calls Obama a pussy. Afterwards Romney smirks about what a clever dick he is.

(5) Four people die at the Consulate, including an ambassador. Romney could not care less, throws Americans under the bus, feels it's more important that voters accept his lies.

(6) President sets the record straight. Romney doubles down on his lies, wins First Place "Most Arrogant Twat" Award.

(7) Addendum: In attempt to save his political ass Romney claims he and Mr. Obama said the same thing about the attack. Heads explode everywhere.

If you're interested here's a more moderate assessment of the story.

Oh, and here's the view of Mitt from inside the State Department. This is a must-read.

Sheldon Adelson, Romney's Las Vegas sugar-daddy, stands to reap $2.3 billion in tax savings under a President Romney. Gosh, who'd a-thunk?

------------------

Are Mitt romney's tax returns hiding voter fraud. They are unless you REALLY believe Mitt lived in his son's basement for a year.

----------------

Speaking of tax returns, Mittens required ten years of returns from his prospective veeps. Just do as he say, not as he do.

President Obama's Top 50 Accomplishments

Number 42: Created Recovery.gov:

Web site run by independent board of inspectors general looking for fraud and abuse in stimulus spending, provides public with detailed information on every contract funded by $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Thanks partly to this transparency, board has uncovered very little fraud, and Web site has become national model: “The stimulus has done more to promote transparency at almost all levels of government than any piece of legislation in recent memory,” reports Governing magazine.

Republican Job Creation Update

9-12-12: The House passed bills to: extend the FISA Act, promote competitiveness in American manufacturing (don't get excited), and a land swap in Minnesota. No jobs were created.

9-13-12: The House passed nothing today, and for the first time in modern history, in the midst of a terrible drought, the House will not pass a Farm Bill. Not only have no jobs been created but our nation's farmers are going bankrupt.

Fox News Lies. Dump Fox News

Fox Business's Liz MacDonald made the laughable claim that "the government's spending is now more than the size of the U.S. economy." But, you know, it's Fox. What do we expect?
