Let’s start with a couple of non-cartoons funnies first. I have seen people posting things like this on Facebook since Wednesday: Little Green Footballs – Hilariously Crazed Wingnut Rant of the Day
PREPARING FOR POST OBAMA ELECTION.
Today, I instructed my wife to prepare for post Obama election by doing the following:
1. Close out our bank accounts, checking accounts, savings account.
2. Eliminate and exist from all medical service programs, insurance, and destroy all medical records and ID numbers.
3. Destroy and toss all cell phones.
4. Take out and smash all black boxes in our vehicles. Will put on the road my 69 mustaang.
5. Cut up all credit cards and call to stop all transactions.
6. Call and stop propane gas shipments, will now burn firewood. Already have more than 500 cord stacked as a backup.
7. Buy only the bare necessaities and pay all bills with a money order.
8. Plan all travel areas, use back roads to avoid TSA agents.
9. Do not use landline telephone only in an emergency.
10. Call and turn off Direct TV.
11. End all computer web services.
12. Build a gate at the end of our driveway and keep it locked. Inform all friends and relatives to call first prior to a visit so the gate can be unlocked.
13. Get involved more heavily with local Tea Party to establish a third party, no more money to the GOP under any circumstance!
The list may be updated to include other more secret actions that the government need not know about here!
I hope he remembered to instruct wifey to lay in a supply of toilet paper. It’s the little things that matter most in a sealed bunker.
As for the GOP themselves? They are reaching out in desperation as well: Republicans Consider Welcoming People Who Believe in Math and Science : The New Yorker
According to Borowitz…
Opting for a bold “big tent” strategy to rebuild the party, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, told reporters today, “We need to welcome people who believe in different things than we do, like math and science.”
After disappointing results in Tuesday’s election, Mr. Priebus said that it was time for Republicans to become “more tolerant of those with a math-and-science lifestyle.”
“Just because we don’t believe in those things doesn’t mean we can’t get along with people who do,” he said. “We want to send this message: math and science Americans are Americans, too.”
In the biggest departure from its previous electoral strategy, Mr. Priebus said, the Republican Party is “even considering trying to appeal to women.”
“I read recently that women are as much as fifty-one per cent of the population,” he said. “That number sounded crazy high to me, but maybe one of our new math Republicans can check on it for us.”
And on with the show…

Watching Network and loving it! What are you all doing tonight?
I think I’m coming down with a cold or something, unfortunately.
Thanks for the cartoons. I love the “bubble” one.
I did have one link to share with you, with my spinning and weaving background…I thought this picture of a hopping sheep was cute.
Prince Charles sees leaping sheep on Tasmanian Leenavale Sheep Stud farm on Australia Diamond Jubilee Tour with Camilla | Mail Online
I think if Cartman was a sheep, he would look like that little bundle of wool and lanolin!
Oh yeah, a bunch of neat pictures at the link too.
That is so cuuuuute! I must go read that link…
“Are we overdressed?”
lol!
I can’t pick a favorite cartoon. They are all so good.
Loved the New Yorker piece. Problem is, since gawd didn’t create math & science & it isn’t in the bible, then it doesn’t exist.
GOP Raincloud is my favorite cartoon.
Great ones. JJ!!!
I like the one were Akin is getting kicked on his ass.
Great ‘toons; you have a knack for picking them. We all need healthy doses of laughter to make up for all that election pressure.
Heheh — I read the story on Tammy Baldwin & Johnson “explaining” budget math (that pdgrey linked to on an earlier post), and this caught my eye:
Romney got 47%!
47%. America, f’k yeah!
Freedom is the only way….
LOL! It will keep falling too, because there are lots more Obama votes to count. Maybe it will end up at exactly 47.
47% was definitely a magic number for Romney: he got 47% in CO, NV, IA, NH, PA, WA, VA:

Oh gosh, I was really hoping he would get 47%! Thanks for sharing this. I kept checking and they still had him at 48.0%. i was praying just 1/10 lower and it would be that magic, hilarious number! Welcome to Karma Mittsy.
We can always count on some members of the Texas Taliban to be completely batshit insane. It just never fails.
TPM: Texas Republican Wants State To Leave U.S. Over Obama Win
Geez, why don’t these people get put in jail for treason? Along with Grover too.
I was going to comment that I heard a lot of Californians say the same thing during the Bush years, then I read the link and scrolled down to the comments, and there is a long, funny one about California leaving and taking the other blue states with it. Good for a laugh if you have a few minutes. It had some funny responses also.
I actually know of a couple republican families going to Texas to “check it out”…………they are of the type that started conversations with me stating “they needed to straighten me out”………….ha ha. Can’t go soon enough………..go.

JJ, you always find the best cartoons! Here is a link to two political satirists Lester & Charlie. Read down to get to the funny poll “What do YOU think a President Romney REALLY would have done on his first day in office”?

Also in that same article a link about Romney’s concession speech.

David Letterman’s “In Memoriam” mitt Romney.
good night, Mitch
500 cords of wood. Are you shittin’ me? I lived in Montana for years. It was COLD. We never used more than 6 cords of wood a year. At about $125 a cord (that’s conservative) this guy has $50000 + of wood laying around? What a load of crap. I honestly didn’t get past that point except that he cut off all his utilities and phones and found a way to sneak online anyway.
There is no logic here. In 3 and 9, he is getting rid of all the phones, yet in 12 he expects his friends and relatives to call him.
I couldn’t help but think they are going to use the Post Office, those union peple? Huh?
“Well, it’s over, and as usual, the guy from Kenya won.”
—David Letterman
“Exit polls show that President Obama did well with women, beating Romney by 11 binders.”
—Jay Leno
“Of the nine key swing states, Obama won eight! I mean, how??? Even in Pennsylvania, despite the fact that after a week of hurricane Sandy, thousands of Amish remain without power!”
—Stephen Colbert
“Florida tonight remains too close to call. So where’s the good news, you say? Here it is: the election was decided without them. For once, Florida’s clusterfuckery is irrelevant.”
—Jon Stewart
“I always wonder what the day after the election is like for the candidate who loses. You get so close to becoming the most powerful person in the world and just like that, you wake up hoping to get a call from Dancing With the Stars.”
—Jimmy Kimmel
“Last night Colorado became the first state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. They just renamed their NBA team the Denver McNuggets.”
—Jimmy Fallon

Really Great Cartoons JJ….As for the bug out/in list of the Prepper. He’s a friggin nutcase. That guy could wouldn’t survive 24 hours without the ability to bitch and have severe attacks of paranoia via the internet.
I wish all the nutbags would go ahead and leave the U.S. for the safety of Mexico. Dumbasses..
