Janet Napolitano Beclowns Herself
Posted on 12.27.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 4:04 pm

A terrorist nearly exploded an airplane loaded with 300 passengers in mid-flight by igniting a bomb built into his underwear, and the response from America’s head clown of homeland security, Janet Napolitano, is this: “The system worked.”

Dear Mr. President, please heed the advice of Jonah Goldberg: Fire Napolitano!

And dear CNN, please send Candy Crowley back to journalism school for a refresher course on the essential follow-up question. It is inexcusable that she let a top government official contend that the “system worked” without then asking whether the U.S. homeland security system is based upon “having a passenger quick, brave and smart enough to fly over other passengers to get the guy.”

UPDATE, 12/28: Napolitano today recanted her “system worked” analysis, embracing the tried-and-false explanation that her quote was taken out of context. “Our system did not work in this instance,” she said. “No one is happy or satisfied with that.”

Obama’s Jokers
Posted on 12.24.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 5:01 pm

Posters with members of Congress decorated as the Joker from Batman fame have been surfacing around the country and online since the Senate struck a corrupt deal to overhaul the U.S. health-care system. They are being called “Obama’s jokers.”

All of their political careers should end as a result of their votes.

Climate Alarmists: We’re Melting!
Posted on 12.14.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 2:33 pm

As I noted early this year, the information age has transformed photography and graphics in amazing ways. There are abundantly creative ways to capture the fascination of readers and viewers.

I see images almost daily that wow me with their ability to tell a story in a snapshot. I’m especially fond of graphical satire — and I love it when people find ways to use an image created for one purpose to illustrate a story that makes a competing point.

If pictures have that impact on me, I figure all of you other enlightened rednecks might appreciate them as well. That’s why I started the feature Photoshop Stop, but it has been a while since I’ve posted any content there. The drought ends today, with the image at your right.

Branding The Federal Pig
Posted on 03.04.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 10:46 am

The Obama administration has released a new logo for the pork-laden stimulus bill written into law last month. It’s a perfect target for satirical fun.

Michelle Malkin is promoting the work of the Photoshoppers. The original Obama logo is on the left, and the best Photoshop so far is on the right.

Barack Obama: Worth A Million Bucks
Posted on 01.17.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 4:26 pm

Or something like that. As Instapundit says, “Prepare now for the coming post-stimulus hyperinflation with these million-dollar bills featuring Barack Obama’s picture! Why wait until the government gets around to issuing them in 2011, when they’ll buy a single measly gallon of gas?”

The Photoshop Stop
Posted on 12.19.08 by K. Daniel Glover @ 6:03 am

One of the things I love most about living in a digital era is how today’s technological tools have opened the floodgates of graphical creativity, especially in the political arena. Rarely a day passes without someone Photoshopping a picture worth a thousand words.

I’m a big fan of Michelle Malkin because she not only features such images on her blog, she invites her loyal readers to create them. A case in point: the portrait of three auto industry pigs suckling at America’s teat.

Michelle published another awesome bailout-related image a few days ago, after President Bush coined this doozy of a phrase: “I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.” She aptly called it Bush’s political epitaph.

Let those two images serve as the launch of the “Photoshop Stop,” a new feature here at The Enlightened Redneck. I’ll post the most creative images from around the Web. They won’t always be political, and if they’re political, they won’t always be conservative. Liberals can be creative, too.

So if you see anything worthy of a plug in the “Photoshop Stop,” please e-mail links to danny-at-enlightenedredneck-dot-com.
