As a sort of mashup of the God-Election and Obama is King, I decided to create this monstrosity of a poster image. It depicts (hopefully) our next God, Gozer the Gozerian: Destructor, Traveler, and Man about Town. Gozer, Bon Vivant!
Like Ivo Shandor (the famous early 20th century architect and physician), SUPERBLOG!! is a fanatical Gozer worshiper. Vote Gozer!
I happened to mention in conversation yesterday that there is a GOD-ELECTION coming up in Sweden and I thought I would follow up with a short blog post about this phenomenon. Firstly: to all doubting Thomases: yes, it's true. We Swedes will have the opportunity to vote for our own God. I am voting for Gozer Gozerian AKA Volguus Zildrohar. He deserves my vote. If the Lord of the Sebouillia can't bring light into this era of darkness, who can? Believe in Gozer the Traveler!
(In reality I am not going to vote at all because I don't believe in any, let alone the, God. But I'm still a member of the state church because it is part of my cultural heritage and also because I don't want to miss out on that fat check when the priests decide to sell off all the church's assets to finance their cocaine-fueled altar boy abuse orgies. Or CFABAO for short. p.s. Say no to rape!)
What did I tell you? What did I tell you? I told you that the Swedish "Piratpartiet" would win and enter the European Parliament, and, lo and behold, the Pirate Party Wins and Enters The European Parliament. We took one seat, or two if the Treaty of Lisbon passes. Which it probably will. But hopefully won't. So there are some mixed emotions there.
In the middle of the tasteful image above is Prime Minister Teddy Freddy Reinfeldt, who I once hailed as a wonderful man of the people. No, wait, I called him "the lesser evil" and joked about "the Iron Fist of Fredrik". Still, I did vote for him once, so I have to bear some of the blame for his nightmare regime. (Hey, that last link leads to the entire movie Nineteen Eighty-Four on Google Videos. Is that legal?)
Good morning, ppl. Today is the Swedish National Day, so, as the saying goes, Bow Down Before the Glory of Sweden or Feel the Wrath of the Cenobites. They'll tear your soul apart.
Also of note: Tomorrow is the last day of the European Union election. Hundreds of idiots, and a smaller number of smart people, will be elected to the European Parliament. If SUPERBLOG!! gets its wish, one of those smart people will be Christian Engström of the Pirate Party. And I feel pretty confident. In fact, if the pirates don't take at least one parliamentary seat, I promise to EAT this blog. I won't even print it out, I'll eat it right off the screen!
P.S. If you're Swedish and you want to help me avoid tasting the pixels, you can vote Pirate tomorrow. If you think FRA, IPRED and ACTA are all very bad ideas, voting pirate is the best way to show Swede rage!
Election Hangover! These so-called links are still funny or interesting but they'll cease to be so very soon.
You're probably wondering: Has President Obama Been Assassinated Yet?
Video: Cindy McCain Claims She’s ‘Just Like Any Other Female Human’. In six months, nobody will remember Cindy McCain. She'll join Tipper Gore and the rest on the failed-First-Lady garbage heap. But she'll still be richer and more powerful than you.
Comics: Steve Brodner's Red, NY and Blue. That Brodner is a caricaturist of immense talent fo shizzle.
More comics: Uncle Sam vs the Mad Poet. Rhyme ruins nation! Above pic taken from this link.
Pat Oliphant cartoon: Ready to rejoin the world? Ha ha!
Wikipedia (not election related): Because of Michael Crichton's death, I found out about the small penis rule (also, I watched Crichton's fun Westworld and its dumb sequel Futureworld. I recommend the first one because it is fun but not the latter, because it is dumb.)
Plus and also, here is a Peter Arno cartoon I like: Old Whittington!
Tomorrow: More asbestos! More asbestos!
Poor John McCain! Who would have thought that abandoning everything he stood for wouldn't work? Ha ha. Stupid war hero.
Here, finally, is a new dawn for SUPERBLOG!!. Yay! And for America. Maybe. (Probably not.) But check it: Did I tell you five months ago that Barack would OWN the election? Yes I did. I have eerie powers.
Left: Typical Obama Supporter. Right: Typical McCain Supporter.
It's like 8-3 to McCain at the moment but everything points to an Obama Tsunami!
Election Watch! Since Sweden, the homebase of SUPERBLOG!!, is located several latitudes (or whatever the proper unit of measurement is) East of the American continent, it will be Wednesday here in just a few hours - and that means that we already have the results of the US election!
And it is with pride I inform you that we (yes, I consider myself an honorary United States citizen) have a new prez-elect! And his name is Osama bin Hussein Barackistan, Imam of all he surveys. Just kidding. It's Barack the Mighty! But the point is: Bow down before him! Bow down!
Terror isn't fun but if we don't laugh the terrorists will have fun. Will the terrorists (I mean Barack & Michelle) win tomorrow? Let's hope so! Cos Obama is a LOVE terrorist. He will usher America into a new millennium. A millennium of love terror (with the emphasis on love).
Let's bomb Afghanistan with LOVE!
Joyless Judiciary! This and others, in Garen's A-Z of comic strip characters. Kid Marvelman and Yoko Tsuno! Comic books! Is there anything better than comics in the whole wide world?
Yes, maybe. Alcohol! The cause of, and solution to! As Homer said. Read the A.V. Club Taste test: Bacon-infused vodka and then try it for yourself and get back to me.
Halloween video: Freddy Krueger, Registered Offender. It's funny because it's what would actually happen if Freddy Kreuger moved into your neighbourhood. But, sad to say, Freddy Kreuger doesn't exist. We'll have to invent him.
Test Your Color IQ. I got an 8, which isn't great but probably pretty good. Maybe I'll try it again sober.
Sarah Silverman in The Great Schlep which "aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing crucial Florida vote in his favor." But it's not necessary because Barack will win this one easily. Bradley effect my ass. Speaking of which, will SUPERBLOG!! blog Election Night even though it's in the middle of the fucking night? Maybe it will.
The Fancy Pants Adventure is one of the list of 150 Best Online Flash Games. But it's not one of the 149 other games on the list.
From the September 5th episode of The Daily Show: a short but accurate biography of presidential candidate John McCain. Narrated by Ian McShane!* (Here he is again! And again!)
(Official link and alternate download location, in case YouTube removes it. Or, you know, you can just torrent the episode.)
*That rhymes.
John McCain is an old man and he smells and he carries around a lucky compass, a lucky feather, a lucky penny and a lucky rock. How insane.

The good thing about Uncle Sammy quitting blogging (he hasn't made an official announcement or anything, but when was the last time he blogged? 2006?) is that now I'm free to turn SUPERBLOG!! into the Lovefest for Al it was always supposed to be.
Yes, Awesome Al Gore kind of looks like a big fat toad in the picture above. But a big fat wonderful toad. And remember, he would have been Big Fat President of the United States of Merrka right now if he hadn't fucked it all up.
Incidentally, who will win in November? Will it be Brilliant Barack Obama or Hillary "Flick the" Clinton? Or one of the Great Old Ones? I know who I'm voting for.
Just this once, democracy worked! In accordance with God's plan, Teddy Freddy Reinfeldt beat the snot out of Goeran and is now Benevolent Dictator of Sweden. O, joyous day!
Goeran was perhaps the most prominent of SUPERBLOG!!'s many, many enemies, but we never wrote a comprehensive blog entry explaining exactly why he was Bad For Sweden. And now we won't ever have to, because he is consigned to history's trash heap, and in a year or two nobody will remember him. Because people will be too busy cowering under... the Iron Fist of Fredrik!

It's a thing I say. Not shit you, I do. I have a few things I sorta say when the going gets tough and/or tame, and Christalicious! is chief among them.
So. I just finished off a friend's bottle of whiskey and some chicken beer, and RARELY have I felt more sober.
But. Did you know that 2-fucking-day is ELECTION DAY in Proud Sweden, land of Vikings and Venereal Disease? I am willing to bet that you did not. Know that. But yeah. It's the fucking whale day.
We'll maybe tell you more about it after a good night's sleep (it's 3am right now). But! I have to take a fucking 5-hour train ride tomorra, and it would surprise me a hell of a lot if I'd use that time to blog about the election. So it's all up to Sammy. And he'll probably drop the ball. But! He might surprise us!
GOD BLESS FREDRIK.
Yes: the Joker.
Hey, with a platform like that, I think he would have had a good chance of defeating Dubya. Kerry's "Vote for me and I'll be nice and sensible" strategy obviously was a misfire. The only problem is, considering the Joker's a murderous madman, surely he's more likely to run for the GOP?
Just kidding!
(But not really.)
(Just kidding!!)
