I take politics seriously, but I\u2019m not a partisan \u2013 I don\u2019t feel at home in any major political party. Maybe that\u2019s why my favorite part of election year is the political satire & humor. I\u2019m going to feature a lot of this here over the next year or so. I promise that I\u2019ll do my best to offend everyone I can on all sides of the political spectrum.<\/div>\n

First Up: The Atlantic Wire just conducted its own presidential primary<\/a> of sorts. They found pictures of the Republican candidates when they were young, then plugged them into \u201chot or not not\u201d to see who would come out on top. This is sheer genius. Everyone knows that to make it on the big stage you have to be at least moderately attractive. In the media age there can be no such thing as an unattractive candidate for president. No big surprise that Mitt Romney won. Apparently everyone was onto the fact that it was Newt \u2013 apparently that big melon of his is a dead give-away in any decade. Also, is it just me or does Herman Cain look exactly like Jamie Foxx?<\/div>\n
