I was just link-hopping around the internet and happened across a site that had a great, little Cthulhu for President ad. I wasn’t aware of it, but there’s apparently a huge campaign afoot to get the great priest of the Great Old Ones, the ultimate evil, installed in the White House to keep the Bush legacy alive. It makes sense. He’s probably the only entity on earth that could push the conservative agenda any further forward, he’s got a reputation as a straight-shooter who speaks his mind, and kids like him. Who could ask for anything more? He’s the perfect Republican candidate.

i am delighted to see the masses catching on. i think that, indeed, cthulhu is having a moment. i kid you not, cthulhu is the password to get into my classroom at school, and one of my students has a t-shirt that says “collect call of cthulhu”. now, it’s true that i teach physics and science fiction/fantasy literature, so i might, perhaps, be dealing with a subsection of the population at large, but still. this is a candidate we can all get behind (just not too close).

I predict Cthulhu’s campaign slogan (“why settle for a lesser evil”) will backfire when the slate of candidate’s is narrowed and he discovers that he, indeed, is the lesserest evil.
He needs to have a wider stance if he expects to attract the self-hating gay element of the Republican party. Maybe he could be tapping one of his big face tentacles.
Yes, but will he be able to attract the evangelicals? That’s what’s holding back Rudy and Mitt.
Of course, fundraising for an old god should be pretty easy.
But is he telegenic? As I recall, the mere sight of him makes your eyeballs pop.
You haven’t seen him lately, Doug. The only thing to pop when he comes into a room are boners.
It shouldn’t be to hard to blame the eyeball popping problem on Bill Clinton. It’s worked pretty well with everything else.
Why, oh why, didn’t we elect Cthulhu?
