The Official SobekPundit Interview: Little Green Footballs

Well if you must know, I spent the last eight months working on my evil scheme to destroy my enemies, but it's kind of on hold now. I am sooooo pissed off at the real estate agent who convinced me that Port-au-Prince was the best place to build my lair.

But that's neither here nor there. How about a blogger interview? Any objections? No? Okay. I invited well-known blogger Charles Johnson, of littlegreenfootballs.com to join me. Mr. Johnson made waves in the blogosphere in the past few months by publicly breaking with the conservative movement. I wanted to give Mr. Johnson the chance to tell his side of the story. You know, to a wider audience than his 100,000 daily readers.





Sobek: Welcome, Mr. Johnson. Let me start by asking whether you saw Dennis Prager's open letter to you about your ideological split.


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: Hey, that's uncalled for. I'm just asking a question about...


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: Look, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with Mr. Prager, I just...


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: Look, that's really obnoxious, and it doesn't even work. You can't ban me from my own blog.


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: Look, I'm serious. If you...


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: You're being a serious douchebag.



















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: All right, I'm changing your interview picture.


















Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: Actually, you're more of a flaming douche.








Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: See, you can't ban me. You're powerless here.








Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: And I -- hey, change that picture back!








Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: There is no way you're coming back for a follow-up interview.








Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*








Sobek: You suck.








Charles Johnson: *deletes comment and bans Sobek*









Sobek: All right, this interview is over. Be sure to tune in next week, when I will astound the world by not blogging at all.

New Holidays They Need to Invent

Art Project #3

I finished this one in spring or summer of 2000. I used silver ink on the moon, the leaves, and the human figures in the corners. This is by far the most "organic" of my posters. The text on the four sides is St. Francis of Asisi's hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King," in Italian. This is my only poster that uses a language with Roman characters.


I don't think I'll do any more posters with human figures in them.

The text is:

O creature del Signor, levate assieme a noi un cor,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Tu sole coio tuoi raggi d'or, tu luna con il tuo chiaror,
Alleluia, allelulia, alleluia! Lode a Dio, alleluia!

Tu vento con il tuo soffiar, nubi nel vostro navigar,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Tu bel matin canta con noi, stelle del vespro anche voi,
Alleluia, allelulia, alleluia! Lode a Dio, alleluia!

Tu acqua pura assieme a noi, canta una lode al Signor,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Tu fuoco vigoroso e chiar, luce e calor tu puoi donar,
Alleluia, allelulia, alleluia! Lode a Dio, alleluia!

O madre terra che a noi qui porgi i tuoi doni ogni di,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Coi frutti e lo splendor dei fior, canta anche tu lodi al Signor,
Alleluia, allelulia, alleluia! Lode a Dio, alleluia!

Art Project #1

I did this around 1994 or 95 or so. You can see the hint of where my future posters would go, but this is very different for a few reasons. First, there is no religious theme to it at all. It started as me copying a logo from the inside of an Alice in Chains album, and then building images around that. Second, there's no text. Third, if I recall correctly (no guarantees), I did this with a Sharpie, instead of a pen. This one doesn't contrast thick lines with fine detail.


I gave this one to a cousin for a wedding present. Pic should be clickable-to-enlargeable.

Another important difference is I didn't do any sort of research or base it on any genuine historical or religious themes. I'd say I tried to make it look sorta Aztec or Mayan, except I actually don't know the difference between the two (other than the Aztecs were Peru, and the Mayans were Mexico). All of my later works are based more concretely on specific cultures and traditions, instead of slapdash guesswork.

Obama with Subtitles

Tom Daschle Goes Down in Flames

Obama admits he made a mistake with Daschle (even though as late as yesterday, Obama "absolutely" still supported him):

"President Barack Obama on Tuesday admitted he made a mistake in handling the nomination of Tom Daschle as his Health and Human Services secretary, saying Daschle's tax problems sent a message that the politically powerful are treated differently than average people."

Well great. That means Tim Geithner got fired, right? Because Obama's serious about not applying different rules to different people, right?

Right?

Iraq Elections a Complete Success

"Iraqis held their most peaceful election since the fall of Saddam Hussein on Saturday, and voting for provincial councils ended without a single major attack reported anywhere in the country."

Time to celebrate the middle-eastern way: by firing guns into the air!



Okay, I admit this post was just an excuse to bring back Happy Jihadi. Look at those adorable little feet! And as long as I'm at it, I'll note for the record that Harry "The Iraq War is Lost" Reid is an idiot.

Sanjay Gupta May Be Next Surgeon General

Should conservatives really get worked up over Obama (supposedly) picking a television guy for as Surgeon General? I mean c'mon, what's the worst that could happen?
