Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader always relishs the e-mails he gets from his good friend the Minister of Propaganda. For those of you who might be new to this space, the Minister of Propaganda is a Left-Coast liberal, a ladies man, and an all around stand up fellow. Indeed, your Maximum Leader wishes that it was possible to spend more time with him.

Now… Your Maximum Leader likes to think of himself as a political conservative. This is not the same as a Republican - although your Maximum Leader generally aligns himself with the Republican Party on many issues. If your Maximum Leader is a solid right-wing type then his friend the Minister of Propaganda is a solid left-wing guy. If you played Dungeons and Dragons the Minister of Propaganda is a Paladin and your Maximum Leader is the Anti-Paladin. (Or vice versa - your choice.)

Anyhoo… Your Maximum Leader got two chuckles from links that the Minister of Propaganda sent him.

The first one is a cartoon entitled “Wrong.” you can see it here. Now… Your Maximum Leader doesn’t agree with many of the points the penguin is making in the cartoon - but he found it amusing anyway. Amusing mainly for the fact that he really doesn’t care for Sean Hannity. Hannity is a bit too fawning and obsequious to the Administration for your Maximum Leader’s taste. But he does know one or two people who could be the guy being lectured by the penguin. That makes the joke in his mind.

The second link was one that your Maximum Leader had seen before, and perhaps had linked to before. (He does remember it on the Big Hominid’s site as well as Annika’s site.) It was the wonderful cartoon at youtube about George Washington. Your Maximum Leader will not embed it here, but only provide you with the link. Here it is. You know, your Maximum Leader is glad that - even for the sake of a good laugh - someone out there is paying attention to George Washington. Our great founding father gets rather short shrift in our modern times. Your Maximum Leader isn’t sure why. But he does. Check it out. It might stretch the truth a little bit about George… Well… Not the part about George having 4 balls…

Carry on.
