Like the dude in that great Gahan Wilson cartoon , Jon McNaughton just paints what he sees. And judging by the apparent popularity of his work with at least some segment of Real America, his optic nerve is wired directly into the right-wing id . Still, one wonders: is it possible that McNaughton may at some point commit an act of artistic overreach, some grandiose hubristic mess like Francis Ford Coppola's
I've finally put my finger on what this reminds me of- the Circus Circus scene in Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Vegas movie, Needs moar ether and psychedelics
In fact, McNaughton's most important objective was to use those tax returns as a canvas in order to keep them from the evil clutches of Kenyan Muslim
This painting is the world's most detailed and time-consuming cry for help. All the hours it took him to paint this, he could have been in therapy.
Yes it should. Obama oversees the killing of bin Laden. That's one of his failures. But I'm not an artiste, so maybe I'm off-the-mark on this stuff.
My litany of Obama's failures are: Should have closed Gitmo. In the Declaration of Independence we indicted King George for "transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences". Under a different King George, we did much the same thing but without the actual trial.
Should have told Mitch McConnell to go fuck himself.
McNaughton’s art work is much easier to understand if you think of every single character in it as just being Elvis in disguise. Or a poker-playing dog; that works, too.

Painting from an undisclosed bunker, the same one Dick Cheney hid in for eight years and where Romney keeps his tax returns...
the shawl of Iran
Garment Libel!

I was expecting Mr. McNaughton to be <em>much</em> older.

It&#039;s wine cooler before the abortion, beer after. Right?
thanks doc. i forgot how brilliant that shortpacked analysis was.
made my morning again.

They&#039;re not right about deodorant, though. Or more accurately, the use of cologne to replace showers.
at least the christmas tree is the right height.
i think it is obama and his pet cock standing far taller than mitt romney and his pet dollar.
