after clicking on an ad with a “VISIT _The Official_ BARACK OBAMA WEBSITE NOW” slogan and a grim looking photo of the Kenyan [renegade](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/10/obama-family-secret-servi_n_142767.html) clad in a white shirt, I discovered that for the typical [del]sheeple[/del] citizen or voting illegal alien there is no need to get an obvious option of **not** divulging an email to the [enlightened being’s](http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-06-06/entertainment/17120245_1_obama-s-presence-new-age-black-president) campaign. We are from Obama and we are here to help you share your email. But, it turns out that it is still possible to access the unholy of the dumb political blogs (seriously, their blog is pretty dumb) by clicking on an image at the top of the page or by manually using [http://www.barackobama.com/](http://www.barackobama.com/) url. Once there, they have a very nice Massachusetts related picture which can be seen here [ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/picobamacampaign.png/) . My caption would be “an erect red wand is screwing a prone blue elephant / state of Massachusetts lying on its back, to a very considerable depth of penetration”. I wonder what’s up with that. Certainly I am not surprised by the screwing motiff, which is integral to the current administration, but maybe they got political colors switched by mistake. ---

If by “Massachusetts related picture” you mean the shape of the state…hell, I still don’t know where the sexual imagery thing comes from. Think I might like some of whatever you’re smoking, though. ---

My caption would be “an erect red wand is screwing a prone blue elephant / state of Massachusetts lying on its back, to a very considerable depth of penetration”. [/Quote] My caption would be: “an arrow labeled ‘go’ superimposed over a silhouette of Massachusetts”. Of course, it was years before I noticed the arrow in the FedEx logo. Anyway, would you mind coming over and interpreting the ice cubes in my gin and tonic before they melt? I think they are trying to tell me something. ---

To be fair, if I smoked some doob first, and by “some” I mean “a metric shitload”, that image might look slightly like a giant red arrow is fucking the state of Massachusetts and by “fucking” I mean “poking its phallus at, like a naive teenager who still thinks the vagina is located somewhere around the belly button.” That’s just a guess, though, as the Whatsit household is currently lacking in doob supply. ---
