Hey, it’s the middle of June and there’s no political news because it’s summer and your editor just went over to Boing Boing to see if there was anything politically whimsical and your co-editor said, “Obama robots made from jello and spare microchips?” Yeah, pretty much. Here is Hopey made out of push-pin thumbtacks. [Zoomdoggle via Boing Boing]
you sure that’s smokey? they ears and not-so-bright expression look more like George.
Wow. As nerdy as that is, he did it oh so very fast, er something.
Actually, it’s kinda neat. This is what potential school-house mass-murderers to do comfort themselves and avoid teh guns.
Summer does not begin until June 21! Are you sure you aren’t a Repugnantcan Spinmeister Ken?
How many good-intenders out there are going to be the perfect foils for the right smarm machine?
Maybe Al Gore could make a Obama out of Cheeetoooozzz?
Sadly, I’m waiting for O’s picture on a black t-shirt…
Not. Black. Enough.
i’m making a two story obama made out of empty beer cans to get those college kids all excited.
Meanwhile the bitters are stuck making racist voodoo dolls of hopey out of the old socks that MaeMaw’s diabetic ulcers stained brown.
Poor Obama is going to take out a copyright on his freaking name and image to prevent such atrocities. He can’t afford any more nebbish-points - he’s earned a ton himself with that bike-riding outfit of mom jeans, dorky sneakers and tucked-in polo shirt.
That’s nothing. He can make a reasonable facsimile of Dubya out of his own feces.
Strange nerds, they made an animatronic Hillary that points at one of her aides, and then laughs and acts surprised like she’s meeting an old friend. And they have her on some tape loop talking about 18 million voters…
Sorry, my bad. That’s actually Hillary.
Gopherit v2.0: …thats an insult to fecal matter everywhere!
…soon people will have little shrines in their homes like the Virgin Mary!

AngryBlakGuy: Yeah, like Jebus, we’ll see Barry in potato chips n’ stuff…
AxmxZ: He can’t do it, political figures are exempt from name and likeness copyrighting. (Just ask AH-Nold SchvwAAAAAAAArtzenegggAH.) He’s doomed to have his image bastardized and made into knitted dick-cozies and racist sock puppets for all eternity, and for boRing boRing to make money off of posting about it after it’s been on 30,000 other websites…
freakishlystrong: Topic of the day: Obam latte art - racist or delicious?
So sad.
I believe the pitcher is an hommage to the revenge-seeking extraterrestial which Frank Gorshin portrayed on Star Trek.
i didn’t realize he was half *red*! that changes everything.
I’m waiting for the Obama-toaster.
graceless: No toaster yet, but at least there’s toast.

Too bad he didn’t do this in Lite Brites — he could’ve been arrested for terrism.
Uh, hey, er, cool. Oh, well. Prezdent is prezdent of everybody, including idiots (savant or otherwise).
RaptorAvatar: Grossest thing I’ve heard all day, and I sit not too far from someone who farts every time he sneezes all over his computer monitor.
What’s a better use of time? Thumb-tack art or reading blogs all day long?
When you said “thambtacks” I thought “tampex,” and I realized I’d better get started on my next work of art.
I mean thumbtacks, or course.
Even though the whole lolcat thing is all 2007, I thought this was pretty clever:

Hee…a friend and I made something almost exactly like this once. Granted, it was a tri-color organization logo rather than Hopey’s face, and the “pixels” were few couple thousand empty nitrous oxide chargers rather than thumbtacks, but the similarity is otherwise striking. You go, Obamageeks.
