London 2012 Olympics editorial cartoon about all-around gymnastics Gold winner Gabby Douglas by cartoonist Chip Bok

The London 2012 Olympics has become, in many ways, a no free speech zone in order to protect the branding rights of “approved global sponsors”. Here’s a helpful list of words to avoid.

Harry Reid


Funny political cartoon by Chip Bok. Harry Reid accuses Romney of not paying his taxes for ten years

Harry Reid repeated unsubstantiated charges, on the Senate floor, that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. Nearly the same amount of time the Senate hasn’t passed a budget.

Wimp




Newsweek’s cover asks if Romney is too big a wimp to be president. Back in May a front page Washington Post story asked if Romney was a bully.

Animal Farm


The going is getting weird. Chick-fil-A owner, Dan Cathy, expressed an opinion he shared with president Obama until a few weeks ago – namely, that marriage is between a man and a woman. This so outraged a newly sensitive Chicago alderman as well as the mayor of Boston that they threatened to destroy his business.

Meanwhile, Romney, hoping to avoid further display of his financial success, refuses to watch his ballet horse perform in the Olympics.

UPDATE: Cow wins, horse loses. Chic-fil-A had a record setting day Wednesday. Ann Romney’s horse, Rafalca, didn’t win a medal.
