Something funny but true to start the weekend

From The People's Cube:

* * *

Update: On the heels of my posting these two "charts" I was sent an article on American Thinker that refers to The People's Cube. More importantly, something a lot of us have been noticing is covered in the article: the ominous parallels to Soviet posters and iconography found in Obama's campaign collateral:

Oleg [Atbashian] was steeped in Party, but never a Party member. He worked with the Party Organizer, formerly known as Political Commissar. Commissar kept watch on political correctness. Because of his background Atbashian is the perfect code breaker to decipher the nonsense that is the left, the Democrats and especially Obama. Think of the phrase "been there, done that." Oleg has seen all of it since childhood, waded in it and got out. Oleg helped create these feelings and imagery. If anyone knows what he's talking about when it comes to Obama, it's Oleg.

I spoke with Atbashian by telephone, and his work for the Party ought to send a chill up yourdamn spine. He said he immediately recognized Obama's work with ACORN, where Barack was a 'community organizer'. From the description of Obama's ACORN job Oleg snorted and said, "For all intents and purposes that's the same job as a Party Organizer."

He said there were three top people in any organization; what we would think of as a Director. The Party Organizer, what we think of as Commissar, and the Union Chairman. Union bosses were mostly concerned with social situations involving workers. Working for the Party Organizer, Oleg created posters, banners, art work and slogans the Party deemed necessary to pump up the volume. Party enthusiasm, Party loyalty, Party heroism, the struggle for all things the Party urged on its workers. The very term 'worker' our media so freely uses today was the backbone of Soviet agitprop.

Read the whole thing. Very, very interesting.
