Oh, My: Next (Taiwanese) Animation Makes It Official; Depicts Romney Pummelling Dunce-Capped Obama
The Onion, Jon Stewart Pounce on the Pigpile

Well, it's actually a schoolboy's cap with a whirligig on it (a propeller beanie, commenters tell me) but they intend it to be a duncecap. Or a schoolboy's cap.

They mean it in a bad way.

I won't give away the funniest part of the animation.

I'm liking the potential for a viral hit, here.

Oh, No: And now, the Onion.

Following last night’s nationally televised presidential debate, President Barack Obama’s 11-year-old daughter Sasha reportedly asked her father why he was “acting like such a goddamned pussy up there.” “Daddy, how come you were being such a little bitch?” asked the sixth-grader, who told the president she was “genuinely worried” that maybe somebody had “cut Daddy’s balls off” right before he took the stage.

And Jon Stewart... is wondering exactly how smart Obama is.

This is bad.

There is the Gatekeeper Narrative and then there is the Real Narrative.

The Real Narrative is getting a little ugly for Obama.

Also Very Funny: "Ronnie Ferocious," Mitt Romney's punk-rock debate alter ego, at The Onion.

I linked this earlier. I think it's much funnier than the Sasha piece, which I don't think is funny at all. I didn't link that for the humor, but to establish the shifting pop culture narrative.
