Obama’s Graphic Design
Just to buttress Augur’s previous post with a far simpler explanation for Obama’s success, might I suggest it all comes down to his superb use of fonts? Consider this interview with a very impressed graphic designer:
Every time you look, all those signs are perfect. Graphic designers like me don’t understand how it’s happening. It’s unprecedented and inconceivable to us. The people in the know are flabbergasted…I’m not sure that the commander-in-chief proves his mettle by getting everyone at his rallies to set their signs in the same typeface, but as someone who knows how hard that is, I’m very impressed.
Just another data point to consider if you’re on the fence this year. And in case anybody’s worried that Obama’s really a secret militant Muslim bent on giving aid to the terrorists, consider his choice to use Gotham as the font on his campaign signs:
Unlike other sans serif typefaces, it’s not German, it’s not French, it’s not Swiss. It’s very American.
Personally, I’m a fan of Verdana. But, then, I’m also a traitor to America.
A Promising Single, Can’t Wait for the Full Length
The Westboro Baptist Church brings us a message we can all get behind: God hates the world.
I’m not sure I get the “You’ll eat your children” part, but, hey, it’s catchy.

Shouldn’t This Be a Bigger Story?
This is the sort of thing I’m happy can still happen from time to time. I think it’s good to know there are still complete and utter mysteries out there. Over 12 meters long and weighs 2 tons! If it’s some kind of genetically mutated product of nuclear testing, with a family that will some day soon emerge from the sea to inflict a fiery hellscape on the world of man, then we could have the makings of a pretty good science fiction parable on our hands…except it would be science fact! (cue dramatic music)
Note that at the end of the article it has a quote from an expert at “Ningbo University’s sea creature research center,” which is now my new dream job.
