I did a bunch of these back in December, using all the available images on the web. And then I waited. Surely, I thought, somebody will post scans of the whole thing? Then I waited some more. And then I got tired of waiting and ordered a copy of the damn thing so that I could scan it myself. So enjoy! More to come!

New RNC Survey will Tell Them Everything They Want to Hear

Click to take the better, improved survey!

The genius of Michael Steele strikes again! Have you seen their new survey? Do they expect to learn anything from it? Seriously, here's a sample of how the questions are phrased:

1. A recent national poll reported that nearly 25% of Americans want the government to pass more socialism. Do you agree or disagree?

4. Do you oppose so-called "card-check" legislation, which eliminates secret ballot elections during unionization drives and puts workers at risk of intimidation by labor bosses?

5. Should Republicans unite to block new federal government bureaucracy and red tape that will crush future economic growth?

Subtle! Also fascinating: the "Domestic and Social Issues" section, indeed the entire survey, contains not a single, solitary question about abortion or The Gays (although "Pro-Life" is offered as one of the choices for "key strength"). Anyway, the whole thing is so hilarious that it would be pointless to parody it. I mean, More aggressive use of Twitter, LOL. Luckily, I'm in a pointless mood, so here you go.

Contest Update

Great response! Two Pony Pals, so far, have guessed mostly correctly, and will both receive prizes. Technically, though, both were actually wrong! And nobody has come even close to guessing what the clue means, and that's not surprising because one of my coworkers informed me that the clue was totally harder than the puzzle itself.

So anyway, there is still room for another winner or two!

Photo Fun: Can You Spot the Bodyguards?

To be honest, I was kinda hoping for a veil, like the one she wore to the Pope funeral, just for the thrill of raising the Hairdo Alert Status, but alas. I just bet she's wearing those new Ferragamos, though.

This is Only a Test...

It's time for photoblogging puzzle... um... time! Quick, what are these, and why is it funny that I have a whole bag of them?

Sparkle Pony Survey! Do You Hate Hairdressers Enough?

AP reports that we've finally got the first extremist group coming boldly out of the closet with their disdain for the hairdresser-lovin' Supreme Court Nominee. And, as usual, the group, the awkwardly-named Public Advocate of the United States, has a peculiar obsession with the light loafer set. Be sure to click on the picture below to see their web site's incredible survey, which dutifully includes such totally-non-loaded questions as this:

Well, duh! I think I can make their survey a ton more fun, though, so click on the picture below and take my revised version:

Hair Don'ts

On the one hand, I wish I could say the fun puzzler below is satire, and I wish I could claim responsibility. On the other hand, I would have done a better job. Anyway, Fox Fan Central presents --what else?-- Fox Fan Fun! Click on the image to get the solution on their website:

I think I still prefer this exclusive Sparkle Pony match-up game from March.

Curiouser and Curiouser

This exciting activity is provided by the mysterious Telefunken U47. And what a challenging activity it is! Everybody loves to compare political figures to kitchen appliances, but not everybody is willing to get as specific as Mr. Telefunken demands. So step up to the plate and dare to compare:
