KSEE 24 makes me official UFW member; I await for my hipster t-shirt in the mail

Long story short: So I informed my mom that Hillary Clinton was going to be speaking in downtown Fresno at the UFW. She, being a über-Hillary supporter really wanted to go so I did what any good son would do and took her. We listened to her command the crowd like Fidel as people chanted "Si Se Puede!". As we were leaving, KSEE 24 asked for an interview and I obliged, asking only my name (made sure they spelled it right), some questions and that was that. The end result? I'm a UFW Member, according to the graphic below my face. Awesome. Good thing they didn't ask me what I thought of Cesar Chavez. I hope I get something in the mail soon confirming my membership...maybe a bottle of wine like the one they gave Hillary. That would do! Check out the video of my ugly mug over here, if you must.

BATTLE!: New Yorker vs. Vanity Fair - Who's got the better artwork?

Hey, comic art is comic art. Be it superheroes or politicians (can one argue that politicians are the closest things we have in this world to superheroes? Discuss!). As I'm sure you've heard the controversy last week when The New Yorker published the satirical piece of Obama in Muslim gear and his wife all Black Panthered out (not the super hero, mind you) and the shit storm that came out of that. Well, Vanity Fair has gone ahead and published a McCain version of that piece. A parody of the parody, if you will. And while The New Yorker caught all the heat, Vanity Fair gets to come in and steal the laughs that the former was going for. PWNED! So are hard feelings between the two magazines? It doesn't really matter cause they share the same Condé Nast building and are owned by the same company. All I can say, I'm digging the Vanity Fair artist's style more so than the New Yorker one. Who's art do you think is better? Oh yeah, also, how do you think this'll effect the upcoming blah, blah, blah....fuck it! I'm just talking art, here! Who wins?

This comic ran in the New York Daily News on July 15th. Hmm....is someone biting, here?

Obama vs. Grand Theft Auto


Joystiq posted this video in which Obama discusses the release of GTA and how it affects the children of today. As they mentioned in the post, it's interesting because I have never heard him talk about his stance on video game violence and this revelation only increased my respect for the man: parents need to monitor what the kids are playing. Yup, that simple. So you guys agree? And yeah, he just said "goo-gobs"....awesome!
