Great homage to the corruption of Illinois politics from our friends at local design firm Thirst. Two different designs of these Blago inspired shirts are available at the thirstore.
You’re reading Signal v. Noise, a publication about the web by Basecamp since 1999. Happy !

on 12 Jul 10Why not put Obama on the picture who learnt the business in puritan Cook County.
Roy
on 12 Jul 10Why put Obama there… Obama is the best thing that could possibly have happened to the US. Without serious reforms the country probably will be even more broke… it can’t live on China’s money forever. It is mind-boggling for almost every non-US person to see how much opposition there still is against his ideas. Strange.

on 12 Jul 10Roy: Huh? Our national debt is skyrocketing with him at the helm. Bush was bad, he’s worse. The US needs austerity, and I don’t see Obama delivering it.
SP
on 12 Jul 10Matt’s right. Obama seems to be not only continuing but expanding Bush’s policies. The Treasury and Fed are still stacked with the same corrupt banksters and cronies from Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase. Roy, wake up dude.

However, I wouldn’t waste time on Roy. A fully colonized mind is something not easily deprogrammed.

on 12 Jul 10@Roy: “Without serious reforms the country probably will be even more broke… it can’t live on China’s money forever.”
Agreed. Unfortunately Obama is burying us in debt even faster than Bush. We need someone that will give us some serious reform that actually helps us (Americans) instead of the rest of the world. Reform to bring jobs back to the US. Reform to stop any/all handouts to illegals (no welfare, health care, schooling, housing, or jobs). Reform to stop anchor babies. Reform to make US corporations more competitive in the world (instead of less competitive, like straddling corporations with mandatory health care costs).
Instead, Obama is going to give us immigration reform (read: amnesty to 12+ million illegals after a slap on the wrist for breaking our laws). He gave businesses the burden of health care, which means our products will become even more expensive (read: less exports from US corporations and more corporations moving manufacturing overseas). He is giving us more debt (read: more reliance on China) than any other president in our history.
I think we agree on the problem. Unfortunately we don’t agree on the solution. Somehow you have it in your mind that more of everything (more spending/debt, more IRS involvement, more burden on corporations, more burden on welfare, school systems, and other social programs) will magically lead to less of those same problems. Can you explain how that makes sense?

Undoubtedly because we’re one of the few remaining countries with something that resembles a free-market, free-association system – largely an alien experience to most of the world (sadly).
It’s mind boggling to me how many non-US nationals think they have enough knowledge to have an informed opinion about the United States.

But someone needs to nut punch this tool bucket. And someone needs to nut punch America for letting this joker be on TV. We need to bring back tar and feathering, and nut punching to politics. And people need to stand up to raccoon heads like this fella by, you guessed it. Nut punching.

Is it too late to mention Somalia?
