Blackier Than Thou

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, LEMON SQUEEZERS! Okay, that was insanely random. As you may have noticed from the title, today's blog is about a certain stupid comment by Rod Blagojevich, and it's the subject of today's installment of Dude, where's my dignity?
Rod Blagojevich. Hoo boy. At least now I can just say 'Blagojevich', everyone goes 'Oh, f***, what'd he do THIS time?', and we move on. But I think everyone's favorite disgraced governor (and boy, are there a lot of them). In an interview for Esquire Magazine, he made the insanely depraved comment that he was 'Blacker than Obama'. He then proceeded to make idiotic references to his 'black' upbringing. Fortunately, the former governor apologized soon after. Both Rod and his freakishly massive amount of hair are currently in disgrace.
Today's pearl of anti-wisdom: It's always good to go the extra mile--- unless you have a specific destination.
And now for another edition of my new feature, BETTER KNOW A CARTOONIST!!!! Today, MAD Magazine artist Tom Richmond!!!
Tom is one of MAD's senior artists. He illustrated such MAD epic spoofs as BOTCHMEN, 30 Crock, Zeroes, and The Dork Knight (spoofs on WATCHMEN, 30 Rock, Heroes, and The Dark Knight). He also made a guest appearance in Pearls Before Swine, in which he drew a perfect caricature of Barbara Streisand. He also won the national caricature award of 1999 and 1998.
Bye!!!
