Don't They Know It's Christmas?
The good folks at Wonkette have assembled their laffalicious 2008 War Against Xmas Gift Guide, featuring writeups about various items, including a naked clown calendar (relax, it's for charity!), Republican and Democrat steak-branding irons, and this particularly gruesome item commemorating "the night when Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination":
It's available for $20 (includes shipping and handling!), but act fast because, well, unicorns don't really exist.
And as long as we're spreading Christmas sneer, was it really only a year ago that Christopher Hitchens headlined Reason's Very Special, Very Secular Xmas Party by saying "Bah Humbug on Christmas"?:

Scrub as much as you choose but you'll never wash the Hitchens taint from Reason!
|12.11.08 @ 12:48PM|#
That image will be seared in my nightmares forever. I'd pay $20 to have never seen that image.

No "War on Christmas" thread is complete without some Fear. (audio is NSFW)

I'm buying 50 of those prints to carry around and dispense as deemed necessary.
|12.11.08 @ 12:52PM|#
Oh.
My.
God.
That this is worse than the Barack Obama coins they pitch on basic
cable.
But not as bad at the World Trade Center commemorative certificate
coins.
Mister DNA|12.11.08 @ 12:53PM|#
by the way, don't be fooled... Nick Gillespie only posted a link to Wonkette in the hopes that it will make us a little more grateful for tomorrow's forthcoming Chip Bok "funny".

Epi,
What are you on about? No unicorns? I bet you think there's no
Santa Claus too!

My office has foxnews/cnn on pretty much continuously. So at least
four times a day, I get to that dorky white dude nod over to his
Obama plate as he finishes filling out some form at his desk.
It keeps getting funnier every single time.
|12.11.08 @ 1:20PM|#
That doesn't really look too much like Obama to me. I always
picture him as taller.
And that bulbous part of flesh directly under his forearm... is
that...?
Naga Sadow|12.11.08 @ 1:21PM|#
Everyone knows there will be no Santa only when the apocalypse hits us. Then his grief combined with his immortality will cause him to go insane.
|12.11.08 @ 1:28PM|#
Uh, Naga, you might want to see the episode before you say that. I'll just note that mine includes Glenn Danzig, enslaved alien elves, blood flowing up walls, and much defecation.

"Yeah that's real elf blood there. That don't come cheap!"
Naga Sadow|12.11.08 @ 1:32PM|#
I saw the episode. I thought it was . . . a bit weirder than usual. But then, for me at least, that show has been losing its charm.
|12.11.08 @ 1:33PM|#
You thought that was the horse's horn
err.. his other forearm. Is the artist interpreting Obama to have a
bubble butt?
EJM|12.11.08 @ 1:35PM|#
In comparison, the "Pretty in Mink" calendar may now appear a little bit saner.
Ska|12.11.08 @ 1:38PM|#
A little saner? Farm animal porn is arguably saner than the president-elect riding a unicorn naked.
|12.11.08 @ 1:39PM|#
Naga, that is possibly the greatest of all the episodes.
"You make our house bleed right now!"
Naga Sadow|12.11.08 @ 1:46PM|#
Episiarch,
(sigh) Allright. I'll watch it . . . again. But later. I got about
15 minutes till I gotta get ready for a meeting with a loan
officer. Condo here I come.

I'm guessing that if any libertarian has the poor judgment to get involved with a Wonkettetard, their sex life will be exclusively confined to AMUS (Angry Make Up Sex).
|12.11.08 @ 2:57PM|#
I think the most gruesome part is that if you let your eyes go a
little out of focus, Obama's face morphs into Bush's. (Think Magic
Eye.)
FUCKING SAILBOAT!
|12.11.08 @ 3:04PM|#
My question:
Does he really have to be naked?
Or was the artist just to lazy to draw clothes?
|12.11.08 @ 3:09PM|#
He's riding a horse with an erect phallic symbol on its head. He
has to be naked for that to work artistically.
Although, if he doesn't know that unicorn very well, barebacking is
probably not a very good idea.
|12.11.08 @ 3:47PM|#
And that bulbous part of flesh directly under his forearm...
is that...?
Yup. Obam-ass.
|12.11.08 @ 4:10PM|#
seriously you guys just don't get dan lacey he is the most brilliant artist of our generation

How can he be? He doesn't have stores in the mall like Thomas
Kinkade, Painter of Light. If Dan Lacey was all that brilliant,
he'd be rich, too.
|12.11.08 @ 5:16PM|#
Libertarians go to Christmas parties for the booze. I don't think I've ever seen Hitchens so loaded. Cool! Death to Christmas!
Bingo|12.11.08 @ 5:23PM|#
Dan Lacey is a conservative Christian cartoonist that is also a closeted homosexual furry. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Bingo|12.11.08 @ 5:24PM|#
Previous link may be NSFW, I don't know how far his mind has decayed at this point.
|12.11.08 @ 5:27PM|#
Holy shit, Bingo, that's great. Did you go to the blog and see the pancake paintings? This dude is awesome. I want one now. The Blago one or the Palin one.
|12.11.08 @ 6:13PM|#
Dan Lacey is a conservative Christian cartoonist that is
also a closeted homosexual furry.
If I was asked to imagine what a conservative Christian cartoonist
who is also a closeted gay furry would paint, it probably wouldn't
take me too long to get to "naked guy on a unicorn."
|12.13.08 @ 12:44AM|#
You realize, of course, that the Obama thing is a direct rip-off
of the back cover from the second Prince album...
(That would be the album with I Wanna Be Your
Lover...)
|12.13.08 @ 4:42AM|#
Anybody else notice he's got Obama clinching the nomination at the RNC in Saint Paul?
