Has any comment ever so singularly summed up Palin’s base like that one?

(Of course, Palin’s page moderator deleted it, because she hates the truth.)

Right?!

I mean, clearly I win here but what about those two poor bastards?

Ok, this is pretty damn good.

Denver Post cartoonist Mike Keefe has inadvertently created the funniest Wisconsin political cartoon of the year. Via

To honor the Badgers in today’s Rose Bowl, below is the most “Wisconsin” photo I have ever seen.

Go Badgers!

From the Library of Congress collection:

The first of two prints formerly thought to be anti-Jackson satires, but actually dealing with the sensational trial of Methodist minister Ephraim K. Avery in May 1833 for the murder of Sarah Maria Cornell. (See also “A Minister Extraordinary…,” no. 1833-14). Miss Cornell, a young and pregnant factory girl, was beaten and strangled, and left tied to a post on a remote Massachusetts farm in December 1832. Avery was tried in May 1833 and despite considerable evidence against him (reported at length in the press) was acquitted on June 5. The artist’s portrayal here appears to be based on published testimony from the trial. Avery, wearing green spectacles, is shown in the act of tying the young woman by the neck to a post before a haystack. Her shoes and kerchief lie on the ground at left, Avery’s walking stick on the ground at right. An owl (the crime occurred at night) perches on one of the posts, and on and about the hut are demons, who speak: “Do you see what is going on here.” “I never sleep on such occasions.” “How will this be managed if it should go to a jury.” “A Jury ye young fools is nothing. what’s to be done with Public Opinion.”
