Obama Shocker: New President Gives Satanic Sign To His Zombie Followers
by Ken Layne
Sure is fun to have a black guy as president, what with the hope and all, and what an exciting day of inaugural inauguration events …. OH WHAT IN THE HELL BARACK IS DOING THE DEVIL-HORN HAND-SIGN!
Oh, this is sweet: Chief Justice John Roberts intentionally (allegedly!) fucked up the Presidential Oath, so the wingnuts could claim Obama really isn’t president, because he said the words in the wrong order.

‘Hope’ You Like Your Horrible Hatched Devil Jesus President, Sheeple!
by Ken Layne
It’s been a while since we checked in with our favorite Internet Political Illustrator, David Dees. He doesn’t seem very “hopeful” about this Barack Obama character! Then again, only Ron Paul could actually save our nation, but the New World Order had Doctor Paul killed! So sad.
Cartoon Violence Is Some Kind Of Cartoon Dominatrix-For-Hire Now, Apparently?
