You’ve got that right, Marq. Actually, I did check out Dr. BLT’s music and I have to say, though he’s lacking in polish, and certain songs are kind of lame, in a strange way, Dr. BLT is kind of a musical genius. But his politics? Now that’s another story. How someone that seems so intelligent can adhere to such political nonsense is beyond me. Maybe we should stop talking about him. It may encourage him to come back. You know what they say: “Be careful what you wish for.”

Well, he’s definitely more fun to have around that Gary “Impervious to Facts” Ruppert and little miss freshly-squeezed.

BTW, has anyone seen any of Dr. BLT’s new Buck Owens tributes posted at Power Line? I heard that they stopped posting his stuff after they heard about the sandwich doc’s anti-war recordings. Any truth to that rumor? Just curious. Haven’t heard anything from that right-wing nut lately. I never thought I’d live to say this, but I almost miss the sandwich flavor around here.

Wouldn’t it be fun to imagine what the PowerTools’ last propaganda piece will be before the ineluctible reality can no longer be ignored or lied about?

No, it works: people who are caught in his mindtrap will be staring into it with their right eye- thus boring into the wingnut cortex.

Heh, ind00dy, Gavin. Centering the blue swirly on Hindquarters’ left eye is wrong in oh-so-many ways.

The low-budget crazy-spiral is centered on Hinderaker’s right eye, an important detail I think.

I like the one on the left. But it would be better if you could make his eyes bulge in and out like that graphic of Ann Coulter from Bartcop a couple of years ago.

the last post before reality’s ineclutibility intercedes from mr. rearmissile will start thusly:

“well, this whole iraq thing really screwed the pooch. i have to admit, the bush administration blew it through a combination of incompe

and then the singularity will occur/have occured/always be occuring, and there will be a silence so vasty across the universe that no one will be able to witness it, and behindromancandle will join the rest of us in the eternal void. where he will still be wrong about everything, even in the absence of anything.

That’s cool, I just steal images from google, so you’re light years ahead of me anyway.

Ever seen one of those huge pinwheels in real life, then use it to screw up your vision? That’s probably the most awesome use of the wheel.

Gotta go with the Dr. Who version.
Only way to make it better is to somehow add a sound element of him saying:
“Hi Guys! My name’s Little Cletus and I’m here to tell you a few things about the due process and habeas corpus laws, ok? They’re silly and outdated! Why, back in the 18th Century, governments could imprison whomever they wanted for as long as they wanted. Yippee! Hurray!”

Timmah, it looks clean over here, but it’s a hacked-together .gif with a lot of pixel-level correction on the lower edge.

Another tragedy is that the center of the spiral doesn’t quite match up with the eye….

Oh no. I can’t think of a single thing to Photoshop into his hand.

My wife keeps walking in the room while I've got this post or the one below on the screen, and she sort of wonders if I'm addicted to these images. (Which I am, actually.) I like the one on the right best for Hindquarters, but I wonder if maybe it should be upside-down or something? Or maybe somehow incorporate this image?

You know that day will never come. Lying about and ignoring reality is an ongoing process that never ends, like erosion.

What the hell is that white stuff coming out of the bottom of the left swirly pic every few seconds?

Actually I probably only see that because I\’m using custom colours, anyway why not just use both, one for each eye.

This shit just isn\’t gonna sink in unless we attack both hemispheres of the brain at once.

What they fear, deep down, is that the President’s policies haven’t been mistakes at all.

Yeah, he fucking read my mind.

Criminey, Gavin!

I think that doubled-up graphic is specifically precluded by the Geneva conventions.

I could actually feel the intelligence draining out of my brain the longer I looked at it…I’m scared now.

Wouldn't it be fun to imagine what the PowerTools' last propaganda piece will be before the ineluctible reality can no longer be ignored or lied about? Off the rails? Off the rails, did you say? Shopkeeper: So it is. 'Ere's your money back and a couple of holiday vouchers. Mr Praline: (spends a few seconds acting and looking flabbergasted) Well, you can't say Thatcher hasn't changed some things.
