That's hilarious.

Two words: Stool softener.

By the way, those faces change as you change the electoral map. There's a kinder, gentler McCain face when he wins than the "pooping out railroad spikes" face the link points to.

Still and all, GOBAMA as always...

Not YOBAMA?
Not even from up the street when you gotta catch him?

I got phone polled today! Only took a few minutes. In addition to the expected questions (likely to vote, for whom, age, race, marital status, income) I was asked "do you consider yourself a NASCAR fan?" Oh, and she asked if it was a land line or a cell phone and if I used one, the other or both.

Dalai bama?

That's an Obamanation.

Oh, and I think in the previous photo Senator McCain is doing his impression of Jababama the hutt. That's a real Obamanation.

There's no baba in Obama, you can't just take the O out of Obama like the Cain in McCain.
Where's your sense of presidential dignity?
Isn't being forced onto The View indignity enough for any one lifetime?
Is that really happening?

How many times am i gonna ask that again in the next few weeks?

I don't get it. I see a map. No pictures. Just a map. So I am the uncool kid. What does it mean?

Connect the dots, arsey. Connect the dots!!

(Works best with a Sharpie, directly on your monitor. Don't worry, GooGone will get rid of it later.)

Wow! I just bought two Sharpies today!

Whoa! So McCain is the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

WHO KNEW?

The "NASCAR" question usually means it's a Zogby poll. They ask if people shop at Wal-Mart, too.
