Shepard Fairey, the creator of the famous Obama “Hope” poster, made news last week with another piece of bizarre visual propaganda, this time denouncing America’s habit of clinging to guns and religion. He produced the poster last month in support of the failing anti-gun legislation, and most recently had it printed on hundreds of protest signs in anticipation of a massive anti-gun rally in Washington. From sympathetic Buzzfeed.com: “Artist Shepard Fairey will paper downtown D.C. Thursday with copies of a new work aimed at reigniting the push for gun control.” Reality check: the advertised Occupy The NRA rally attracted only...

Every year in the United States nearly a half million children are tragically killed. The top two causes of these deaths are: 1) Car Accidents 2) Drowning Yes, the pro-car lobby will wail and gnash their teeth, and the NCA will have a hissy fit. But how long can a civilized, democratic society allow our children (and adults) to be maimed and killed by these cars and fluids? Every year, 260,000 children are killed and 1,000,000 injured in car accidents. A significant number of these deaths and injuries are perpetrated by semi-automatic assault cars. Every year, 175,000 children are killed...

The following hard-hitting, well-reasoned editorial will be appearing in most of our finest daily newspapers in the next few weeks as soon as we call them up and instruct ask them to print it. Be on the lookout for it so you can spring into action and start writing letters of approval as soon as it appears. We're Not All That Impressed With This Romney Chap We here at the (insert name of paper here) are a fair, open-minded, tolerant bunch, as you would expect given our elevated social status. So, when an unknown, inexperienced politician named Willard Mitt...

Another powerful emotional outburst from our comrade Tommie Trudeau. Are you happy now, Clint Eastwood? See what you have done to Tommi! It's your fault and don't you deny it! You stripped Chairman of his manhood, leaving only an empty chair! Now if your heart doesn't break at the sight of Tommi crying, you're not human - if Republicans are humans to begin with!

Now that Obama has started quoting Jesus, the toiling masses need a special chart in order to understand the Bible and what those passages really mean in progressive, Obamunist terms. So I made such a chart for you: the kinder, gentler, smarter, less embarassing version of the Bible. Enjoy!

I wish to go into partnership with you. -I will provide no capital or funding. -You will put up all of the capital. -You will provide all of the labor. -I will tell you what you can sell, make, how to build, who you can hire and fire and how you conduct business. -Each year you will give me one half of your profit. You must pay me twelve percent of what you pay your employees (for administration and rule making). Next year you must provide health insurance for your employees. If you decide to sell, you must pay me...

TV comedian Steven Colbert recently went to the Occupy Wall Street rally in Che costume and picked a couple of "nice, clean, and idealistic" OWS protesters whom he later took to his pretend posh condo over Ziccotti Park and tried to seduce them with money and creature comforts. And now Americans on the both sides of the moral divide are trying to figure out what Colbert's "co-occupation" of Wall Street really meant. But a funnier, and more revealing clip with one of these activists named "Ketchup" comes from real life - protesting while stoned - captured on video and posted...

Comrades, a new conspiracy theory has emerged but unlike the "birthers", it is one we can and should (and will) embrace. I am talking about the RACERS, or those of us who cling obsessively but correctly to the idea that all criticism of Dear Born-in-Hawaii Leader Obama has no basis in reality but is purely an expression of racism. This term has its origins with an enemy of the people but like any good prog, I don't care, I just take what I think is necessary to promote the common good. Now, many of you reading this are asking (not...

As if Rocky J. Squirrel hasn't damaged the cause of progressivism enough, his anti-big-government stand is now being joined by Oliver: a super-squirrel with dubious conservative and right-wing Christian leanings. Oliver's Tale: A Squirrel’s Story of Love, Courage, and Revolution was written by Paul Ibbetson, a radio talk show host from Kansas who has interviewed us twice and claims to be a fan of this website. In some ways, his Acorn-crunching Tea Party Animal with God-given superpowers may as well have leaped straight from our web pages - or from Orwell's Animal Farm for that matter.

The GOP establishment is appalled: a young tea party activist and Navy veteran, who was once seen dressed up as Che Guevara holding a "Communists For Kerry" sign, may now defeat their moderate candidate in the primaries and take a seat in the U.S. Congress - the very place he claims is out of control and needs to be cleaned up. It's funny how life turns out. That "Communists For Kerry" sign was designed by me, on this very computer. Meet Jason Sager from Florida's 5th Congressional District, formerly Comrade J.F. Che from the crazy summer of 2004 in New...

"They stole our entire platform, rebranded it 'progressive', and claimed it as their own," declared a CPUSA spokesperson at a press conference in San Francisco. "And we communists say, not so fast! The Communist Party representative explained that government ownership of the auto and financial industries, redistribution of wealth, and free rationed healthcare have always been among the glorious CPUSA objectives: "We held on to these goals through all the difficult years of factional infighting, purges, denunciations, and heroic espionage on behalf of the Soviet intelligence services. (The People's Cube) The Democratic Party responded by kicking off it's 2012 presidential...

Here's something with brilliance that is too incredible not to keep giving. See if you can pick out how many familiar characters you've come to loathe in this contemporary Photochoppage of a famous painting (without looking at the list). Trust me ... the image you will see will not disappoint.

In this episode of the Conscience of Kansas radio program we run the best of 2009 part #1 including Matt Bruce, Chet Waivers- action weather reporter, DC from Chimpsy Radio, Dr. Hans Matatta, The People's Cube and many, many more. It a really funny show.

In an audacious raid Friday, al-Qaeda terrorists managed to slip past White House security and seize President Obama's teleprompter. Their demands were released in a grainy video, which apparently showed the president's teleprompter, bound and blindfolded but unharmed, while heavily armed masked men stood behind it, quoting from the Qur'an. The content of their demands is not being released. President Obama, visibly shaken, attempted to address the White House press corps on his own. "Words, uh, um, I, uh, heh-heh, well..." "We need a verb!" shouted David Gregory of MSNBC. "I uh, know that," quipped the president testily. "And... I'll...

American automakers responded with great enthusiasm to yesterday's decision by General Motors to compost its gas-guzzling business model and close four pickup truck and SUV plants - a unilateral gesture of good will towards the environment that will result in 10,000 lost jobs. The automaker communities are widely celebrating the event with eco-friendly block parties, Earth fairs, outdoor concerts of New Age music, drum circles in the wilderness, meditations, body painting, and unrhymed poetry readings that venerate the earth as a living, spiritual being that feels pain when it is bring drilled for oil.

The famous Beltway bordello that was shut down after 13 years of impeccable service last October is now fighting back with a vengeance. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey and her lawyer claim their business was in no way different from the generally accepted liberal practices of simulating love and compassion for the downtrodden with the purpose of amassing large fortunes and obtaining power...

I've never done a dedicated website-pimping post, so please bear with me if I fumble it. There is simply no way to give an adequate description of The People's Cube. - It is savagely anti-Leftist - For those of us who grew up during the Cold War and have some knowlege of the hell of life behind the Iron Curtain, it is poignantly accurate in its satire - The humor is simply brilliant (though it could be argued that mocking the communists, socialists, and leftists makes for rather easy jokes and parodies... all that is required is to be *slightly*...
