NY Comic Con

April 22nd, 2008
NY Comic Con happened this past weekend, and the Mighty Marvel Kids panel was great. Giarrusso, Eliopoulos, Van Lente, and a couple others including their editor, Nate Cosby- whom I worked with at Marvel!- were like their own comedy show. Shout out to them right here.

Hillary in the Kitchen

April 21st, 2008
Hillary and Obama launched new negative ad campaigns. In Hillary's, she quotes Harry S. Truman, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." How fitting for her campaign.

Mitt Romney played by McCain

April 19th, 2008
Mitt Romney started berating Obama harshly while also trying to get in John McCain's favor to run for vice president. Wonder what Romney's motivations for attacking Obama are...?

Mccain's New Approach

April 15th, 2008
McCain has proposed a new approach to fixing the economy. He plans to cut a bunch of IRS rules out and let the tax-payer decide which system to use- the IRS' HUGE book of rules, or his little nice one. Good idea....?

Passover!

It's Passover time.

Hillary Gets a Call

April 7, 2008
Hillary came out with her infamous 3am phone call ad and got a lot of negative feedback. The stock market closes at 4pm so why would she be taking care of the economy at 3am? Her message was unclear and not well thought through.

I Don't Need CHANGE

April 1st, 2008
Obama began heavily campaigning in Pennsylvania, advocating change. However, for some of the blue collar workers, change doesn't mean anything good. Change, for them, could put them in an even worse situation, at least financially.

To celebrate Easter, it's fun to play with old sayings. Plus, this could also apply to certain political situations...cough cough Hillary cough cough.

Apples and Oranges

Ok, so it's not political, but it could apply to politics, now couldn't it.

Spitzer

March 11, 2008
When Spitzer's scandal came out, the people on Wall Street celebrated. Spitzer was the biggest hypocrite of them all!

Hillary Clinton on SNL

March 2nd, 2008
Hillary Clinton had a "surprise" appearance on Saturday Night Live on March 1st. It appeared to be a completely desperate move to get last minute votes....guess it worked in Ohio and Texas...

Obama on Security

February 27th, 2008
Barack Obama has almost enough Secret Service Agents to protect a sitting president. When asked about his safety, he said, "it's not something I think about day to day." Really?

McCain on Campaign Financing

February 27th, 2008
Howard Dean accused McCain of illegal campaign financing. However, Dean did the same thing, but had a signed letter saying he could do it. Dean said that McCain's only excuse was "he did it too!"
