I finally think that I got my vision of it to work.
Also, I know quite a bit more about Adobe Photoshop after doing this one than I did before, so: go, me.

How the Daily Kos did NOT sanitize its Weinergate coverage.
And why you should care.
It all started when I decided to drink some of the pain of the Activist Left.
I was reading Mickey Kaus – who himself is no slouch when it comes to despising the activists that have essentially destroyed his current and my former party – when he linked to this in-retrospect-unfortunate Tweet by Kos referencing dKos’ rather embarrassingly wrong conspiracy theory about what was going on with Anthony Weiner and pictures of his genitalia*. Tasty, tasty spinning of what was in the end a straightforward, if sordid situation involving a Congressman with too much of a sense of entitlement… but I kind of wanted to see some more wrongheadedness. I freely admit it: there is schadenfreude involved here; I’m not yet a Buddha.
Fortunately, thanks to the miracle of tags you can do things like search for related stories, so I clicked on the #twitterhoax tag. No entries show up.

I happen to be not one of those people, but I can see where being able to make reasonably ‘retro’-looking posters quickly and cheaply might be kind of useful for, say, a Republican political campaign. Particularly the ones who are operating on the traditional shoestring budget.

Just received the Photoshop from the Wish List!
The arrival of the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 7
Many thanks to my benefactor, and to everybody who supports this site… which should definitely be extended to Neil Stevens, who very graciously hosts it for me on what’s essentially his own dime. That link should let you show your appreciation for the venue…

The Darth Giger gave it a run for its money, though.
I was sent an email on this Star Wars
I’d like to note for the record that the original has always kind of haunted me. Something about the endless Friday night at 3 AM that it represents. This, on the other hand, does not.
