Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Jesus Tapdancing Obama On A Pogo Stick


 Fox News is a little behind the curve on this one:



A painting that features President Obama posed as Jesus Christ crucified on  is on display at a community college art gallery in Boston. The painting by Michael D’Antuono is part of a larger exhibit called “Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012.” It’s on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery until Dec. 15th. The painting is called “Truth” – and shows the president with his arms outstretched. A crown of thorns rests on his head.(link)



Of course, Maggie's Farm featured the original artwork back in 2009. It's much less offensive and blasphemous and trite than Fox suggests, and it's got a beat and you can dance to it. The seventies had much better music than the 2010s, and we can only dream of Carter-era levels of commerce at this point, but a bunch of sons of the desert dragging Americans out of our embassies really puts me in that nostalgic mood.How about you? Just like old times.


I wonder if Ted Koppel will show up on TV late tonight?

Mine eyes! mine eyes! OMG! that image hurts my eyes!

Okay, this is not funny guys. When I filled out your recent survey and said that I liked the photos and would you please continue them - this is NOT what I had in mind.

Sorry, I should have made it clear in the survey; please, photos of wildlife, not photos of idiot life.

There's a reason why it's called Benny Hill Comedy College.
