Kennedy did it first I think, and HW made it a yearly thing. It's just a simple photo-op that raises opinion ratings.

Gotta love a man that trolls this hard... Except the WBC, they're just sad.

Also drunk Nate Silver was last seen in South America, proving that the end of the world was not going to happen... This year.

He's still at the "make trollish jokes about obamacare" drunk stage right now, so we probably have some time.

"...and then I say 'please proceed Governor'."

"Oh my, he brings shame to his followers."

You know, in retrospect, those may have been the defining three words of the entire campaign. Once he realized that if he simply shut up and let Mitt ramble on, he would eventually say something so mind-bogglingly stupid and/or repugnant that voters would recoil in horror.

So, an online poll was used to determine which turkeys would suffer a horrible death? Damn you, Internets!!!!

Nah, it's from the movie "Scanners", in which one of the eponymous Scanners (humans with psychic powers) makes his head explode on television.

No. It is from the movie Scanners. Micheal Ironside makes his head explode using his telepathic power. Impressive special effects with props for the time.

I wish I had the photoshop skills to take this picture and replace Ironside's head with Obama's and Asplode Guy's with, say, O'Reilly's or Nugent's:

They don't really talk about the plot in Wayne's World; all the guy does is say "Did you see that scene in Scanners, where that guy's head blows up?"

/yes, I've seen Wayne's World once or twice

Honestly, I didn't get the hysteria about that. People should understand where meat comes from, and if you* can't handle seeing a turkey getting killed on TV then maybe you shouldn't eat them.

* 'you' being the general population, not Bigdogdaddy in particular.

If you truly worked at a talent agency, why would you know anything about how Michael Ironside answers his phone. I call shenanigans.
