banzai, sometimes you make classic images. this is one of them. 

i particularly like when you use the old timey style picture hues, or existing old school political images and re-update them. 

not all your classics use this style, but some of them do. and when they work---they work really well. 

well played.

When I saw the title of your post, I couldn't help but wonder if it would be something using Wizard of Oz imagery; and a play off of the scarecrow's song...

But I really am digging your use of old political cartoons this year. Not only are they imaginative, and creative, as per your usual endeavors,  but they are also useful in reminding us that the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Still, gunboats are passe, you know, in the age of drones :)

My regards

The Moral Highground has never been so low.

Its a place to live and die for...a guy once said that about a golf course.

I wonder if Obammy ever has had any values he feels so strongly about. 

When you see our current flock of politicians in the West you realise these guys would never die for anything; but they would send your sons to die for everything. 

One value that the Western elites have totally lost is the sense of ethical honor.

Only Snowden has shown he is ready to die for THAT.

Scarecrows work hard for a living.

Obama gets paid a third of a million a year to golf for free and attack stuff.

[Yes We Can. But...]

William, I can only see about half of most of the images you post - ZH website sections on the right half of screen consistently ride over the top of your stuff....

If you are on a desktop zoom the view out or elect printer friendly.

There is nothing you can do on a tablet or phone, but click the image or go to my new blog: www.wb7.hk

*Cough* If ZH is interested in hiring a web developer...

really love this one, WildBill.

today's WB7 is a fitting platform for to unveil a little program i've been toiling away at, and devoting my every available energy to, for some 15 arduous years...and now, the time is at hand for the launching of operation code name "Talons of Terror"

let me give you all a bit of context, so's you'll understand why the success of this operation means so very much to janus.  i've never given much thought to lesbians (per se)...sure, the cute & frisky ones (who quickly 'grow' out of it) are okay by me...but it seems 'real' lesbians are obsessed with poor ole janus.  i don't know what the specific basis of their animated hatred is, exactly -- maybe it's because i'm prettier than all 'real' lesbians...but, again, i haven't given it much thought.  problem is, they will not leave well-enough alone.  i must haunt their nightmares or something.  who cares?

in the same way hyenas will always respond to lions with fear and preemptive & conspiratorial attacks, lesbians are hard-wired against me...a natural and biological nemesis, i suppose.  

then i got all shakespeare-like...you know, whether tis nobler -- blah, blah, blah -- ...or take up arms against a sea of troubles.  well, it got to the point where this tsunami of hormones was just too much.  i had to take up arms, or, more specifically, talons!

here's the thing, i absolutely adore the concept of drones viz. TPTB.  remote, silent, untraceable havoc from above?  who doesn't love democracy in action?  pretty soon, every patriot will have his own drone with an astonishing payload and flight-times capable of penetrating the best federal cordon.  but, the other thing is, i'm one of those nature lovin hippies.  i gave the drones a once-over and then reckoned God Almighty'd already bested em millions of years ago.

so, janus starts collecting the most vicious, swiftest, sharpest-taloned (and highly endangered) raptors known to man.  all of them benevolently designed by The Creator as perfect agents of flesh-ripping horror from the blue beyond.  best of all, they hit you when you least suspect it.  one moment you're a sanctimonious do-gooder lesbian upsetting innocent people's lives, amblin idly down the street, and the next you've been shredded to little meat globules by a flock of ferocious fowl with a lust for blood.

i sure do love my birds. 

anyway, i've got this renegade team of geniuses (all victims of lesbian bully-tactics) at MIT working on my pterodactyl...goddamit, boys -- once i get my hands on that pterodactyl, this coven of lesbians won't know what hit em!  

i'm what you call a master falconer par-excellance!  these birds are so well-trained in the art of lesbian detection...nothing escapes the gaze of my raptors!  sometimes they get a bit carried away in training...gentlemen, you should've seen what they did to that effigy of rachel maddow.  it even made janus a bit queasy.  but i watched every last second of it anyway -- it takes a lot of courage to be a master falconer par excellance!

say yer prayers, lesbos!

you've been warned,

janus

[williambanzai7]

More sanctions are "teed up."

[janus]

you know, WildBill, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have that image printed on 'actual' golf-balls.  in fact, i think you may have something there.  do you know how badly 99.999% of golf-playing/country-club white-dudes wanna wack the shit outta obama's face over & over & over & over across the links? 

seriously, man...that ball's got legs.

titelist pro V for janus, please.

[earnyermoney]

make a nice range ball too. I'd like to see barry's goofy smiling mug donning a golf ball.

[machineh]

I love it, too.

But 'Obama' and 'balls' don't seem to belong in the same sentence.
