BaNZai7's PoSTCaRDS FRoM THe PaRaDiSe Of SCaNDaLS: FLoRiDa PRiMaRY CoVeRaGe 2012
"The Sunshine State is a paradise of scandals teeming with drifters, deadbeats, and misfits drawn here by some dark primordial calling like demented trout. And you'd be surprised how many of them decide to run for public office."--Carl Hiaasen, author and native Floridian
Anyone who has spent some time in Florida, knows what the postcards are all about.
"Florida is a victim of it's own geography."--Carl Hiaasen

Notice how Florida Law Enforcement uses caps in "DEC".

WB7: I posted these in the exact order that I created them.
I have been working on them since last Tuesday, in between all the other Davos, hockey, SOPA, Pole Dancing and other stuff...Pole dancing?
Yes pole dancing! As seen live on the Keiser Report...: maxkeiser.com/2012/01/28/kr242-keiser-report-state-of-the...

This sounds alot like California

Dude!
Visitors from Planet O! is dead on! But I have to say, you've injured me bro. There's not enough mind-bleach on earth to erase the image of the Newt in a mankini :)
And the posters of Paul as an outlaw and a gladiator are awesome.
Too bad there are so many losers masquerading as our leaders, but it inspires you to some brilliant, and cutting, satire my man.

My co-worker thinks your shit ain't funny. There ain't much room for love in this world but you hold a tiny place in my heart, Mr Banzai. Keep up the good work bro.
Do you work with Tim Geithner? ;-)
Poleman Sachs is Epic! Good work.. again.
Great work and congrats on making it onto the Max Keiser show!....
.... I think callista could use a porno-doll mouth... some kneepads...and "something about mary" in her hair...
Come to Florida for vacation. Go home on probation.
When you cross into Fl you will see large bill boards advertising bail bondsmen along with their phone numbers. Write one down on your forearm so you can't lose it. They take cash, PMs or travelers checks... no personal checks. If you don't do anything really, really stupid, you won't need the number.
That has a ring of truth ;-)
Banzai you fucker.......... please give a warning when posting such brilliant work....... I just spit on my monitor and now its smoking and pissed my pants laughing............ what brilliance........
keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!
WB7 - "Breaking Awesomeness At The Speed of Light" on the MUCH NEEDED Path to SANITY!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Great Art WB7
"Oh The HugeManatee!"
Fucking Hilarious!
Great work WB :)
Oh the Huge Manatee?? Bwahahahaaa!!!
This theme looks familiar, WB7. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, it would seem -- and we clearly have a ZH reader:

Grate stuff. Maybe there's some room for a Moby Newt and Capt Mitthab?
I always thought copyright law was boring. This whole issue of SOPA, PIPA and ACTA and internet culture as well as my own style of "detournement" has piqued my interest in the subject of fair use, adaptative works, transformative works, derivative works, satirical use, parody copying, artisit intellectual property rights etc. and I am doing all the relevant reading.
I don't know whether or not this guy saw what I did, but I think what I did is much funnier. I note that he has gone out of his way to put all kinds of copyright notices on his work, which is curious. Generally, cartoonization is a way to avoid copyright problems if you are selling a work for commercial purposes. I would never try to sell a "Honey Mooner" image.
In any event, I have alreay seen plenty of my ideas imitated for commercial use. My attitude? I'm not very bothered because I don't worry about about I am going to come up with next. I have a backlog of ideas ;-)
I thought this work was very insightful, and captures the not-a-dime's-difference between these two, practically speaking.
Indeed, their clashes are purely ego driven; Mittenz thinks it's his turn, and the Newt seems to think he missed his, or something like that.
Both need to just go home...
Romney looks the slightest bit like Tom Waits in this photo and it's buggin' me out.
I cant stop laughing! Condo flipper lol lol lol lol! hahaha!
WB-
Still wiping the coffee off my screens. F&$cking hysterical! As someone who is still proud to be from the Sunshine State, what is happening there right now is not only an embarrassment to the GOP, but to the body politic in the US. Go Seminoles!
Every trip I have made to Florida has been a blast.
WB7 Great Work! I've lived in Fl the past 32 years and would not consider moving to another state.
This is the only state where the local newspapers carry stories that put the Natl Inquirer in the shade.
About 10-12 years ago Florida Dept of Tourism ran a nationwide tourisim campaign and the lead was "FLORIDA, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT HERE"... they are not kidding.
All the quirky people eventually land in Vegas or Florida... They are accepted because so many of the people living here are from elsewhere.
Hiaasen is a pretty good scribbler but not in Elmore Leonards league, nor in competition with John McDonald, who wrote thrillers about a Florida that no longer exists. If you haven't read any Elmore Leonard you could do worse than 'Maximum Bob'... one of the main characters is a crazy-as -a-shit- house-rat judge that presides over a small fishing/sugar cane village on the West Bank of Lake Okeechobee. I doubt that there is much fiction in this novel... lol
I love Elmore Leonard as well.
WB-
Check out Daytona during biker week or Panama City during Spring Break. Knee deep in rednecks and beer. Great for people watching.

funny, thanks!
Wife and I just voted Ron Paul in North Palm Beach County. They said it's been steady since polls opened at 7AM I voted around 10:30AM.
-Put up Ron Paul yard signs outside 3 voting places & put Ron Paul issue cards in some mailboxes. No other signs were out at the polling place -ONLY Ron Paul signs- So although he didn't campaign here, some of us are trying to fight the good fight, here in beautiful Flori-DUH...
Simply Genius! Simply Hilarious!
Best one yet WB!!! We were busting up and snorting on the great and superbly sarcastic (and sadly, real!) art-satire that you're pulling off. Excellent, excellent stuff and keep it up, we love it!
"I can see the Huge Manatee...from my house...". Welcome to Florida. Home of the True Nutters. We get almost as many people as California on the all time list of whackjobs and nutjobs.
Thanks for spotlighting the insanity WB!
This is what we have to put up with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiGYIicuAns
Well California is giving you a run for your money today with the story of the pedophile prevert school teacher in LA.
In Florida, if a 17 year old stands on a chair and peaks over the fence at you sun bathing nude, you ( the sun bather) are subject to up to LIFE in jail and a PERMANENT listing on the sexual-deviant list for the rest of your life. That requires you to register with the police everytime you move (or plan to be away for more then 10 days) and monthly checkins, your name is posted in the newspaper and the community you move to is informed door to door of your presence.
There are now over 60,000 on that list for "crimes" such as noted above in just about two years time.
Correction Corporation of America is very happy doing Gods work in Florida
I want ALL the RON PAUL ones for postcards! You are the MAN!
Outstanding WB7! I'm off to find the Windex again... (must not drink any beverages while viewing Banzai's works of art)
Made my day! I had to move to Miami 5 months ago and it has been an adventure. literally. Took the fam-damly on an airboat tour of the Everglades and learned how non-native pythons are so huge and fierce they're eating allligators whole. Kid you not. Then listening to some hair club for men member on Bloomberg last night talk about how everything is "priced in" and "the market has digested this info already" my mind went back to this image. Sometimes digestion doesn't go so well.
Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center found the dead, headless python in October 2005 after it apparently tried to digest a 6-foot-long (2-meter-long) American alligator. The mostly intact dead gator was found sticking out of a hole in the midsection of the python, and wads of gator skin were found in the snake's gastrointestinal tract.
The gruesome discovery suggests that the python's feisty last meal might have been simply too much for it to handle.
Truthfully, I could go on with Florida for another week.
As long as we are on the subject of snakes..Bill, you need to look into the live and times of Marco Rubio. He spits out SOPA, PIPA, and other assorted venom that would make Castro proud to call him nephew.
its the place Bush stole the 2000 election, without Bush there was no 9/11, what has happened since that 2000 moment is the wholesale bankrupting of the greatest country on earth, duplicity, followed by complicity. i am waiting for one of these GOP people to take aim at the Bush years, and publically admit what a mistake (shit does not happen, when you have a lot monkeys like these most of it is thrown) their previous POTUS was. even Obama stopped blasting Bush as soon as the votes were counted. when he should have been reaching for the handcuffs, he started talking about moving forward, you knew the fix was in. the problem in Hollywood terms is that there are too many caped crusaders on the movie screen, and not enough people in high office with enough common decency to make them highly outraged enough to recognize even the most heinous crime.
brother Jebs Sec of State Kathleen Harris was up to her neck in voter fraud. she later ran for Senator? but the Bush coattails were already shortening. she was rejected.
but until the USA gets over Bush and 9/11, because they really are the same thing, this country is going to remain a perverse version of the last days of Rome, with the current emperor Obamus only serving to prove to the people that each leader can and will be progressively worse than the one before it, and that the process of disintegration on the social and political level is a very large can to be kicked down a very long road.
we're better than that I think
Hacking Democracy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rVTXbARGXso
Someone posted this earlier. Good glimpse of how corrupt the process is/was, especially in FL.
in CA sec of state Debra Bowen outlawed the Diebold voting machines
Since your Democrat friends in Mexifornia run a gerrymander that translates 51% of the votes into 75% of the state legislature, the voting machines are irrelevant. The entire system is a fraud, and the state a smoking socialist ruin.
your ignorance is appalling, the state leg no longer gerrymanders, they have an independent board
of course we remember when Bush and his ENRON pals raked our grandmothers over the electricty scandal. no BUSH has ever carried California, and probably never will. i guess we know crap when we smell it.
additionally i have heard you people who don't like Mexicans, and assume you are from a superior European race, which is what half of Mexico is, with remnants of two or three great civilizations Mayan, Aztec, Inca.
then maybe your'e something special like Irish? hmmm.
you are neither compassionate nor fascist i suspect but your cultural flame throwing is just well, low brow
The corruption in Florida probably comes from all those retirees from Chicago, including (of course) the dead ones. It was the dead that had trouble understanding the 2000 ballot in neighboring Palm Beach County, where the ballot was designed by a Democrat.
The postcard saying Welcome to Florida first came to my attention after Hurricane Wilma. Newt deserves a minor transitory cloud, not a major tropical storm.
No, it was "holocaust survivors". Of whom, remarkably enough, there are more and more every year.
RP = "Slayer, slayer!"
