Barack Obama cartoons
The BBC has an article today on the prolonged honeymoon Barack Obama has had not only with the American people, but also political cartoonists. A quick perusal of the slideshow is a good demonstration of the warm light of expectation gently emanating from within the Obama pants. I think the veneer is rubbing off rapidly though, especially in light of the announcement that CIA agents who tortured prisoners won’t be prosecuted.
My own takes on Obama are here, I’ve had no real call to illustrate him yet, but I’d imagine he’ll feature heavily in even the humble Double Vision when and if he makes the trip here.

“NEW YORK POST MONKEY/STIMULUS BILL CARTOON
This cartoon is currently causing quite a stir in both the political realm and the blogosphere

The question is, is this a racist cartoon? According to the NYT,
The chimpanzee was an apparent reference to the 200-pound pet chimpanzee that was shot dead by a police officer in Stamford, Conn., on Monday evening, after it mauled a friend of his owner.

I’m giving the benefit of the doubt here. It’s the infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters trope.
The Obama Speech
So he fluffed his lines during his swearing in. His speech was workaday. His voice cracked and his body language had an edge of vunerability.
Thank goodness he’s human after all.
Happy New World Day!
Or something. Yes Barack Obama has been lionised beyond measure, but sod it, I’m going to buy into it for a while. It feels kind of, nice.
As for that other puke, Graham Linehan put it in some of the most eloquent poetry I’ve ever read:
“Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out, you fucking piece of shit.”
