The Blob Blog: Post-election Malaise
Listen up ya heels! Dis is da Blob talkin, and youse gonna listen -- or I'll bust ya right in chops! Look, I may be an evil mutant, but I aint no chump. I know that George W. Bush was worse for this country than Magneto and Mister Sinister put together. This immovable mutant is an Obama man, all the way -- Barack is the real homo superior.
And when Obama won the election, I was so happy I cried, tears landing in my comically large ice cream sundae. Just like a dame I was with the waterworks. But now, two weeks later, I feel empty. I feel... depressed.
It's weird. After eight years of Bush, feeling like democracy was a sham, and the country had lost its mind, you grow hard to the world. You gird yourself for the worst -- so you won't be hurt by the next Republican crime against humanity.
But now, it's tough. I thought everything would be different now. But the world hasn't changed. It's still messed-up. How do you let yourself feel again? Sure, all those Obama posters said "hope." But to let yourself hope is to let yourself be hurt. And I don't know if I can take that again.
Okay, ya bums! Shut your stinkin' traps! Da Blob got stuck in a pity puddle! What of it? Obama's gonna kick ass in da White House! And we's all gonna work hard to make this country great again! Or you're gonna get a poundin from da Blob!!!
(And one more thing! I already gave my maximum $4600 smackeroos (from me and the Toad) to the Obama campaign! Now that he's won, why do I still get emails askin' for more money! Of all the noive!)

Are you sure that's not a promo shot for The Wrestler?

I was always baffled by the Blob's bizarre accent, especially in the original X-Men animated series of the 90's. One of all-time favorite Wolverine witty comebacks came because of the Blob:
BLOB: Eat some sidewalk!
WOLVERINE: Needs salt.I recall you mentioned Dan Greaney graduated on the same law class as Obama (on one of the commentaries). I'm guessing any dirt on our new president is safely buried on the Simpsons rewrite room.
