Tuesday late-night lolitics thread (image-heavy)

And now for the lighter (or at least more visual) side of politics! The morbid side of my sense of humor is at the fore tonight, so someone else is going to have to bring teh funney.

In mocking Bush and McCain, I'm running into the "parody of a soap opera" problem: it's very hard to make fun of something that's already over-the-top. Has anyone else encountered this? For example, this lol that I came across at Pundit Kitchen is a little too "on the nose" to be funny:

Usual rules: pooties optional, politics encouraged, fun mandatory. The thread is open!

•  Hey Bush Administration! Here's a tip:

  •  that had to be done

    I'm sorta scared to check if /b/ has done anything with the idea.

    •  For the love of God, don't jinx us.

      Leave b out of this. And everything else. Please.

  •  Scivo...

    Question:  do you fix the tags all the time.  I just saw you fix my tags and wanted to say thank you.  I really suck at tags.

    •  Habitually, at least what tags I notice! n/t

  •  Oh how swell this isn't a photobucket pic

    Why are some of us cut off from it--I mean, to the
    point where both Safari and Firefox say they can't find
    the damn site?

    by begone on Tue Jun 17, 2008 at 11:29:37 PM PDT

    •  that link I proviided in my last

      comment about it in the other diary suggests that Photobucket was hacked and the hosting co took it down. Not good news.

      I can't figure out how to get imageshack to do picks bigger than a thumbnail.

    •  are you behind a proxy?

      by VelvetElvis on Tue Jun 17, 2008 at 11:48:38 PM PDT

      •  Nope. Looks to be a hacking thingie?

        by begone on Tue Jun 17, 2008 at 11:50:00 PM PDT

        •  can you see anything from photobucket?

          can you get to the site?

          Assuming windows still has a ping command, go to a command line and type:

          ping photobucket.com

          post the output

        •  ignore that

          sorry, i'm buzzed.

          it's not returning pings so the problem is not on your end.
