What’s interesting about McCain’s concession speech, this week, was, in that brief presentation, he showed all of the statesmanness that was absent during his campaign. He was gracious, no-nonsense, and direct.
So is the cyborgian monster as which he’s caricatured, above, on this t-shirt. Well, maybe this guy’s not so gracious. S-XXL, $16, in red, white, or blue, from Hoodman.tv.

Gentlemen: If the gauzy melodies of Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame’s classic 1983 hit plays in the back of your mind while you gaze at Sarah Palin’s seemingly endless tresses, above (in a photo taken not ten days ago, yet!), you’ve fallen to the cursed infirmity that undoes all men!

Hey, kids: See if you can guess the identity of the fashion-forward, trendsetting celebrity who recently attended the opening of a film she directed, apparently without first opening a container of depilatory cream. (That ain’t no milk mustache!) Answer, below, after the jump!

At the recent DragonCon ’08, a rare photo of an authentic Cookie Monster-slaying warrior with the remains of her prey.
Note the distinguishing touches: Her blue, Cookie fur boots, providing necessary stealth and warmth, and her matching lipstick, providing additional camouflage.

Mother Jones is running a photo essay by Great Neck, NY photojournalist / former Marine Anthony Karen, 42. The piece, utilizing text, audio, and pictures, documents the work of Ku Klux Klan seamstress, above.
Coming from five generations of Ku Klux Klan members, 58-year-old “Ms. Ruth” sews hoods and robes for Klan members seven days a week, blessing each one when it’s done. A red satin outfit for an Exalted Cyclops, the head of a local chapter, costs about $140. She uses the earnings to help care for her 40-year-old quadriplegic daughter, “Lilbit,” who was injured in a car accident 10 years ago.
Amazing. You gotta admire their dedication to arts & kkkrafts.

Question: If you were a dude, leaving your woman behind for many, many months—say you were going to Iraq, or something stupid like that—and, just before you left you gave her this piece of jewelry, above, as a gift. Would she think that you loved her more than life itself, or think that this was a passive-aggressive way of telling her you wanted to blind her?
