November 2008 Contest from Gary Arndt on Vimeo.

I woke up this morning to some disturbing news: An anti-gay marriage group used Google Adsense to buy ads on my site and promote their agenda. I am not going to link to the group, or mention their name. I have logged onto my google adsense control panel to block the ads as I find them to be quite offensive and have no place on this website. I have no idea how long it will take for the filter to block the ads. I might just turn off google until this evening.

For the record, I’m down with the ‘Mo’s getting married. I’m going to be in my first gay wedding next year and I expect it to be FAB-U-LOOOUUUUSSS!

While we’re on the subject. Today’s strip was about the election. Tomorrow’s strip will be about the election too. This for one a very specific reason: There is a fucking election going on in the country I live in.

If you’re in the process of writing me an email asking me to keep my politics out of your ha-ha time, you can stop right now. I’m not going to read it. I don’t live in a vacuum. I write about what I know and what I feel in my heart. Normally, that’s about watching Ultraman as a kid and how awesome Patrick Stewart truly was as a casting choice for Charles Xavier. But every once in a while (it would seem 3 times so far in 10 years), my brain considers who might be the next President of the United States.

Just as non-Harry Potter fans must endure the occasional “Hermoine is gonna be hot in a couple years” jokes, some of you are going to have to deal with the fact that November sometimes means an election is happening. My strip is far from Mallard Fillmore. I think I’m a tad more even handed than that.

It’s been the policy of this site to be a place of escape from the day to day world. I do stand by that. But it’s also an examination of the human condition (I hope) and sometimes that means I’m going to write about current events.

Suck it up people.
