New thread for images that are political, but that aren't directly related to the election; images that are not so much partisan as existential. The next post contains an image that, I hope, illustrates the concept.

Another try, this time blunt, without the very obscure reference to Shepard Fairey (the "owner" of the OBEY mark).

Thanks!

This was done in GIMP. I have CorelDraw for doing vector graphics, but I do all my raster graphics in GIMP (can't afford any of the Adobe stuff).

Just a nice little bumper sticker. As the federal government becomes Leviathan, tax evasion becomes a patriotic duty.

I rather doubt this is going to last long on tinypic.com, but one can always hope:

In "honor" of Mr. Biden's brief moment of clarity and truth (and an allusion to the Soviet-style economics the democrats intend to visit on all of us):

Another in "honor" of Obama's debate performance, and his blustering, blow-hard attempts to refight the debate afterward:

I like "repurposing" others' propaganda to bring the larger "truth" out of it. For example, here's the original:
