Chris Muir Photoshop Contest

This post is largely just an excuse to post a few good links that I, being the lazy-ass that I am, only happened on this morning.

First, we have Jon Swift's (you don't read his blog? For fuck's sake, people, what's wrong with you?) delightful take on Chris Muir's Hillary-in-blackface cartoon that I've been ignoring but apparently conservative bloggers are either laughing at or wringing their hands over. Do not miss his link to the absolutely vital "Should I Use Blackface on my Blog? flow chart, which should be assigned reading for frat boys and "I don't see color" liberals alike.

Chris Clarke, who loves hating Muir so much that he's really the only reason I know who Muir is (my local paper carries that Mallard Fillmore nonsense to "balance" Doonesbury instead), of course had to turn Swift's proposal that really, Muir's genius suggests that all cartoonists would do well to imitate him into a contest. There's other links at the bottom of Swift's post for your Monday procrastinating pleasure--and of course, if you're talented in Photoshop or Gimp or what have you, you might even be able to waste the entire day coming up with a cartoon of your own. Though for my money, Amanda's gonna be hard to beat.
