The Village Voice: "Spoofing Shepard Fairey's Obama "Hope" Posters

Shepard Fairey's Barack "Hope" design might be 2008’s most seminal image—his nomination in TIME's Top 100 Most Influential People poll is most certainly forthcoming. But the poster's also become a hugely popular design to lampoon. Here're the best 25 parodies out there.


AOC, HC, TW, BO, KH: FU. FUATH. 100x.

Yahoo! News: "Cautious joy as blacks imagine Obama win"

...Michael Cornwell, a surgeon from Atlanta, checks poll numbers daily online and fully expects Obama to win. Still, "you can't shake the tension," he said.

"We're expecting something to come out, some closing of the polls," Cornwell said on Thursday. "I see these Republican-driven articles saying the polls are tightening. Are they correct, or are they just a combination of Republicans wanting to make it look good and the media wanting it to be a tight race so more of the population will be engaged or buying copy?"...

Even if the polls do prove accurate and Obama does win, some of his enthusiastic supporters still have concerns about what lies beyond the mountaintop.

"The empire is in decline, the culture is in decay, the democracy is in trouble, financial markets near collapse," said Princeton professor Cornel West. "It's almost Biblical. And you can imagine what the black brothers and sisters in the barbershops and beauty salons say: 'Right when the thing is about to go under, they hand it over to the black man.'"...


Brother West has a point there

I'm weary of this election.  I'm so worn down by the endless coverage that I don't even care what happens this Tuesday.  Bah, humbug.

Yes, it arouses me to anger. Anyone who has the right to vote and refuses to exercise it insults the memory of people who gave their lives in order for them to have that right. It also insults the memory of people in other countries around the world who had that right forcibly taken away from them, and who would do anything to be able to vote yet cannot.

You're weary of the coverage?  Heck, at least you can turn the coverage off.  I'm weary of the ROBOCALLS.  The Reps manage to get one or two a day onto my machine.  If I were a swing voter, that tactic would inspire me to swing, all right -- AGAINST them.

Dear Zook, Knotty et al;

Don't be apathetic, chaps!  This election is going to have the highest voter turnout in decades thus making it one of the more interesting to watch (and participate in) and proving that afteer 8 years of fascism, democracy can make a comeback.

And that is no slight against McCain.  He deserves our votes for picking a running mate with tits and a smokin' body!

Oh, yah, I forgot to mention the robocalls, the junk mail, the activists standing on street corners, the bumperstickers, the 30 minute infomercials, the public service announcements, and the conversations initiated by family, friends, acquaitances, and random strangers...

You misunderstand me, as usual.  I am voting, but I don't much care about the outcome.  Old Guy vs. Chope Guy.  Whatever, let's just finish this puppy.
