A reader writes, "In an obvious spoof of the Sarah Palin vice-presidency, the cartoon ad touts tentacled monster Nurglon as the "folksy, white, pro-family" candidate who's a 'mother of 5,000,000'." NURGLON In 2008!

We would do better to leave Nurglon trapped on that Island in Nowhere, Alaska.

I heard that when Nurglon was mayor of Waftgh'ln, a small town of 157¾, she tried to have all the books in the public library replaced with copies of the Necronomicon!

Actually, Sarah Palin is the secret identity of Nurglon. BB has unmasked her at last! Still think she's a VPNILF?

Nurglon is a truly superior hunter, and has devoured innumerable hoofed mammals. As an aspect of Chaos itself, Nurglon is also a proven maverick.

As a progressive moderate, I would go with the above-mentioned Shub-Niggurath, because she only has a thousand young, and is black. Plus, living in the woods gives her down-home country appeal.
