Look at him. Of course he’s always smiling. He is a short old man surrounded by long luscious women — young women, too. When he loses elections, movie stars invite him to live in their mansions. Here’s Dennis Kucinich in a hot-lady sandwich as featured in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. MORE »

Each week, the Comics Curmudgeon helps explain Today’s Cartoons.

Greetings, Wonkette readers! Welcome back to that popular and intermittently recurring Cartoon Violence feature, “This Thing Looks Just Like That Thing!” Here, we pick on poor political cartoonists who happen to produce cartoons that look almost exactly like some other cartoons, and then arbitrarily declare one to be better than the other, which is probably really unfair of us.

Jam Band Fan or Taliban?

Perfect for the newest Cheney’s trips to the beach, chilling at the pool, or field trips to Iraqi prisons!

Hey everybody, there’s some new craze on MySpace where you put a picture of yourself in this program and it spits out some headshots of famous people who supposedly look like you. Well, the nice people over at Sadly, No decided to help out busy Dick Cheney and make this nice chart: MORE »

Hey everybody, remember Ronald Reagan? He was sort of the George W. Bush to George W. Bush’s dad’s Dick Cheney, back in the day. Anyway, turns out he kept a diary in the White House or something. Also, he was apparently a founding member of The Wiggles: MORE »

At top, the terrifying, totalitarian logo of the John McCain campaign. Below it, the charming, identically-starred logo of British CANADIAN, WHATEVER, THEY WORSHIP THE SAME QUEEN packaged foods-manufacturer McCain. Further proof that WALNUTS! takes everything good and wholesome and turns it into another pawn in his world domination fantasy. MORE »
