That is AWESOME, but WTF? They're not commies, so the AWESOME (and funni) symbolism is grossly inappropriate. But I guess that's the point.

Hah. This is the first time I've noticed that most of the MCain's houses are in the housing bubble hotspots (Arizona mainly, and California, probably on the border).

Coronado CA is famous for two things, one is housing prices, the second is the US Navy SEAL
Many a summer I spent in Coronado building sand-castles while a quarter mile away near the island divide I could see SEAL recruits doing push up's in the ocean as the waves came in.
On the beach their is a very small fence dividing military and public beach and some of the SEAL trainers love to bring the fresh recruits right up close to it so he can wave to the families sunbath while screaming at his pushup'es.
Coronado is isolated from the housing crunch because you could not get a loan for that area unless you came from money. Things were to expensive on Coronado to being making 60k a year and pull out a 400k load to afford a one bedroom shack on the island.

Bigass? A Ford Escape is not a very large vehicle, especially compared to Ford's "real" SUVs (Explorer, Expedition); in fact with an FWD drivetrain, a footprint about the same size as a Honda Civic and a unitized body, it's basically just a jacked-up compact car. In any case, even the non-hybrid Escape is a lot more fuel efficient than Obama's last car, which was a Chrysler 300C (yep, it had a Hemi)Einhander Sn0m4n wrote:That's pretty good, even if it's a bigass Ford SUV.

Re: Political Cartoons Thread
On the topic of the above post, Sinfest has a lot of comics about the election - the original location for that comic is here where the rest of them reside (why put it on a slow-ass server at all?).

Is the fact that they're beavers relevant to the humor?

Yes. The beaver is a Canadian symbol. The Canadian national election was yesterday. The cartoon is from a Canadian newspaper.CaptainChewbacca wrote:Is the fact that they're beavers relevant to the humor?

Why isn't Shrub "supported by intolerant, extreme fundamentalist religious leaders"?
Doesn't most of his religious support come from the fundamentalists?
