Just in time for the end of the 2012 election PlanetPOV presents the new Periodic Table of Dangerous Elements. There are plenty of new infamous characters added but there are still many golden oldies on the table. Two Willard Mitt Romney elements were added for the real RMoney that hates almost half of America and one for the Moderate Mittens that was unveiled during the debates. Some more notorious international figures were added as well. Pick out your favorite villains to revile and despise.

If anyone has any recommendations for changes or additions I’m always open to suggestions.
KQ, You just about broke twitter with this post 😉 No kidding we got a bunch of on the post many from peeps I’ve never seen before. Cool, eh?
Hmmm … I just thought of something
AnchorBabyum
I just had the time to really look this over.
**** 4 Stars
This is so clever and SO much work.
It took me a while to break out the family groupings in the color chart in the lower left- incredibly funny and poignant.
Any chance of providing a link to this so it could really be fully enlarged?
Again, I thank you for the work. Imagining this and then producing it….WoW…Impressed.
Murph, all you have to do is click the graphic and it will enlarge, still not big enough hit ctrl++ you should be able to get it large enough that mThe pimple on Mitt’s nose shows.
The Blov and I have laughed non-stop about Wigatron. SO love it. think the Dumbold needs to see it himself…….
Romnium + 47%ium = Mormonite + H2S
Hey Questinia!
Of course, a derivative of that would be Magicunderwearium.
Radioactive decay!
To go along with the moral decay of Romnium.
😆 I know that smell anywhere.
Huckaboson!
With all their bluster, I suppose all of the elements can be combined exergonically? Hopefully after 11/6 they’ll go endergonic into oblivion. Love this KQ!
Cheers Q I knew you would be someone who appreciated this the most. The series are off a little from the first edition just because it was too hard to keep them all consistent without reordering the whole table.
KQ, a brilliant update to one of my favorite POV posts of all time!
Love many of them including godsplanon and 47%ium and the accompanying picture of Mitt who looks like he’s splitting in two…or going through Mittosis.
A real keeper! Thanks for the laughs!
Adlib , i’m reminded of the old song “two faces have I” !
Mitt is trying to have it both ways. He is two faced and you will have to toss a coin to figure out which one is the real one.
AdLib and Nirek–I believe we’re all being a little too harsh on romney. I think he has a “brilliant” strategy going for him. IF (and I shudder at the thought) he does get elected, he can take any position on any issue and still say he campaigned on that position.
For example, many republicans/tpartiers are saying that President Obama promised to reduce the deficit, bring unemployment down, close Gitmo, and other things. Of course, many republicans/tpartiers won’t acknowledge their “personal responsibility” in obstructing President Obama from accomplishing these things, but that is beside my point.
My point is that if any Democrat or Independent points to a promise that romney made on the campaign trail, romney will be able to point out that he also said the opposite. In essence, romney would be able to say that he kept campaign promises, because he’s been on both sides of every issue. So, it’s not being “two-faced” or lying; he’s just implementing a campaign strategy. 🙂
Glenn, well, I might suggest the flip side and say that no matter what Mitt would do if he became President (which he won’t), it would be true to say he broke his campaign promises.
That’s the problem when taking both sides of the issues.
It’s a moot point though, Romney will lose and IMO, he’ll lose very decisively in the electoral vote and by a clear margin in the popular vote.
Then he will have not kept ANY of his campaign promises and that’s quite a feat when you’ve promised both sides of every issue.
That’s the danger of a Romney presidency. You have no idea what he believes. All he will do is do anything to get reelected which could include starting a war or two. Most likely he is going to ride what Obama did accomplished, raise the debt with more government spending and lowering taxes with no offsets. While Obama had real courage and told people exactly what he wanted to do and did what he could to achieve those objective. I don’t call it brilliance it’s absolutely the most cynical presidential campaign in history.
No wonder Mitt always roots against Batman, his hero is Two Face.
KQ, looks like you got them ranked just right! I don’t think I could offer any improvements except maybe the communist hunter Allen West.
Believe me the GOP and the right wing gave me a plethora of bad actors to pick from and I wish I could mention them all. Indeed Allen West at least deserves honorable mention.
Thank you K for adding that arse Cameron who will no doubt go down in history as one of the worst Tory and in general, PMs ever, a dithering fool of a man. He has good company because messing up the economy and leaving more “poor” people in their wake is their forte. They are bloody marvelous at it.
It was a delight to see this again, and kudos on the new additions, I was laughing over here when I should be taking out the trash. Thanks a bunch for making my morning. KillNHSide. 😆
See you later.
Cheers K. Cameron definitely is worth putting on the list of most dangerous elements by any standard. Cutting NHS to the bone as you well know is just one part of his policies that hurt people in the UK.
Hi K, cutting child benefits, benefits for the disabled, and care for the elderly are three more on a growing list. Osborne just stole a billion pounds from the NHS fund, I posted the story on this morning’s MB. Thieving bastards!
KQ, I didn’t think that the PTODE could possibly be improved upon, but it’s better than ever. I think Joe Walsh and Scalia are my current favorites.
Thanks so much for revisiting the table and the collection of all the damaging things conservatives have done throughout American history. You couldn’t have picked a better time to do this.
Actually working on these two updates I was considering that I should really make the positive case for progress next time I make a list.
Frankly I probably couldn’t do a positive version of the Periodic Table because I couldn’t fill it with our current cast of characters in politics, the media or even internationally with the shift to the right. In fact with the current GOP and other right wingers in the media and internationally I could probably fill up two tables now.
Alas I always have to give credit to the Periodic Table of Criminal Elements that was obviously my inspiration for the PTODEs. You’ll even notice there are even a few characters on both tables.

😆 😆 😆
“Heckuvajobium” !
Yeah that’s one of my favorite golden oldies as well.
Bravo, KQuark! You did it again. I’ll be sharing this one far and wide! First, I need to get my vision fixed because after looking at the 47%ium, I can’t see straight. I am cross I ium
Thanks Patsy I’m glad you liked it. Sorry one of the limits of using a periodic table format is that the font is pretty small.
Ha Its not the font size, its that two faced image of Romney!
😆 yeah that is kind of a weird optical illusion that plays tricks on your eyes.
The new edits are 47%ium (Romney name change), ModMitton (new Romney), Antimuslim (Peter King), Witchhuntium (Issa), Batshitcrazon (Bachmann name change), Homophomic (Steve King), GOPslutium (Limbaugh name change), Polutur (A Koch brother name change), KillNHSide (Cameroon Kalima should like this addition), Hesbackium (Putin because of his reelection), Buyelectium (Sheldon Adleson), Deadbeatide (Joe Walsh), Teabagen (Cantor new name), Bombiranide (Bibi new name), Godsplanon (Mourdoch) and Legitrapium (Akin).
Oh, KQ – thank you SO much for using your outstanding scientific background and wit to make this up for us! It actually clarifies! And it’s roll on the floor funny! Great contribution to us all.
Cheers CL. For comedic purposes the GOP and other right wingers are the gifts that keep on giving. But unfortunately the jokes on all of us when they win elections or influence people through the media.
