Wingnuts satirical logo isn't funny ... what ... it's real?

I saw where the Missile Defense Agency has a new logo:



Funny, I thought. But the left will throw a hissy-fit when they find out that some right-winger combined the MDA's logo, the Obama logo, and the Islamic crescent. I could hear the charges of racism already.

Then I found out it was real (via Wild Thing).

Here's where I make some comment making fun of it. But it's hard ... really hard ... to make fun of something that's a parody of itself.

So, I'll just shake my head. Join me, won't you?

Slip-up

The latest verbal slip-up from Democratic Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) was earlier today on ABC's This Week. Obama used the phrase "my Muslim faith," and was corrected by host George Stephanopoulos: Some are going wild, insinuating that it shows that Obama really is a Muslim. And I think the video shows a problem. It's not what Obama said. I'm perfectly willing to believe that it was a mis-statement, and not some hidden truth coming out. So the Obamacrats can claim that, and I won't object. But explain away, if you will, Stephanopoulos stepping in and helping correct a mis-statement by, say, Republican Presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), GOP Vice-Presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), or anyone from the right. Wouldn't happen. But it did for Obama. The real slip-up wasn't Obama letting it out that he was secretly a Muslim. It's Stephanopoulos letting it out that he's biased. But then, we knew that already. We just got another confirmation.
