Genuinely very hard without the answers. Also, is it just me, or is Mr. Burns actually to the left of Romney on the basis of these statements?

Probably because Mr. Burns is more of the comedic villain that occasionally does something right.

It's kinda hard to be to the right of Santorum without veering into Godwin territory.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

The thing I don't like about that poem is that it still keeps the focus on skin colour, maintaining the "us vs them" status quo. If the message was more along the lines of "you're coloured too" instead of "I'm less coloured than you", I'd be down with it, but as it stands, the undercurrents of hostility feel very counterproductive.
We are all brown.
In summer we are all a slightly darker shade of brown.
Tell that to the people who go from white to red. And albinos. :p

This is fucking epic.

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

You know I've always loved this photo of Lousie Brooks, now I love it even more.

Is it ironic that elephants live in matriarchal societies?

Yeah, come to think of it.  Elephants are also quite intelligent and value their young, and aged, and respect their dying, and dead.  Hmmmmm...

Are we allowed to post parody comics in here?

This is one of my favourites:

Using Leia as a model would fit other kinds of propaganda posters better. In this stance, she just looks weird.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.
