This is a special thread dedicated to a prominent blogger who took the lefties’ bullcrap meme (Romney Abuses Animals) and turned it on it’s head with the cheap and easy revelation that Our Dear Leader Declared That He ATE A Dog. Awesome, funny and political don’t always jive, but Treacher pulled it off with pure irreverent snark.

…and me gonna tell someone on The Overnight Open Thread.
Approximately 200-400 years ago during Japan’s Edo period, an unknown artist created what is easily the most profound demonstration of human aesthetics ever committed to parchment. I am referring to He-Gassen a.k.a. 屁合戦 a.k.a. “the fart war.” In this centuries-old scroll, women and men blow each other off the page with typhoon-like flatulence. Toss this in the face of any philistine who claims that art history is boring.
Ancient Japanese art is a gas – but my hoax-alert antennae are twitching with the reference to “He-Gassen” even though I found another source here. [Found here, h/t Princess Natasha.]
And like a fart in the wind, we’re cranking out an early Saturday edition of
The Overnight Open Thread.

No, they didn’t have blogs back then, but they had media. Big ‘ol honkin’ media that would take your head off if you dared to argue contrary opinions not approved by the blogmeister.
Digital Library of the Real Jardin Botanico of Madrid has Pierre Sonnerat‘s Voyage aux Indes orientales et a la Chine.
BTW, that’s Vishnu in the picture. Don’t piss him off, especially not here, because it’s time for The Overnight Open Thread.
