Fat Tony *Heart* Mark Udall

For those readers who want to see the seriousness behind the Simpsonized satire, go here. Thanks to the imaginative creator of Marx Udall for the use of the graphic - you can see more Simpsonized Udall cartoons on his site.

Communist Party Joins Mark Udall in Support of Anti-Secret Ballot Bill

Boulder liberal Mark Udall, Big Labor bosses, 20 percent of the American voting public, and now the Communist Party are all in agreement. What's the issue? Why, the so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) - which deprives workers of a secret ballot in union elections.

What's the connection?

• Mark Udall took $75,000 from union leaders to put his name as a co-sponsor on the Employee Free Choice Act, despite admitting to "serious reservations."


• 8 out of 10 American voters, including 8 out of 10 Democrats, believe the EFCA's approach of robbing workers of the secret ballot is wrong. Opposition to this bill includes majorities "of every age, race, geographic group and both genders."


• Today's big news? Communist Party USA has given its hearty endorsement to EFCA, saying the upcoming elections "must be about working people’s vision — our vision of a new direction for our country." A new direction that apparently includes no secret ballots for workers.

I guess this website's humorous theme isn't quite so far off base, after all.

Marx Udall: A Bit Over the Top But Finds Clever Way to Make Accurate Points

It looks like someone not on the Left has finally gotten around to putting together an effective humor site in Colorado's U.S. Senate race: Take a look at Marx Udall. Someone skilled both in satire and graphic arts has created the site, which also has a prominent link to this blog.

The theme of the blog is a little over the top. No one can seriously claim that Boulder liberal Mark Udall is as far Left as Karl Marx. But the site accurately and cleverly highlights prominent examples - including many covered here - that depict why Udall has earned the Boulder liberal moniker.

At Schaffer v Udall, we may be brighter and more industrious, but we have nothing on Marx Udall in terms of cleverness and pointed wit.
