* As you can see in the Village Voice post Harvey linked this morning, some liberals seem to be having trouble understanding what’s so funny about the president eating a dog and why the right keeps making jokes about it. I’ll try to explain: OBAMA ATE A DOG!
* Obama still hasn’t addressed the American people about his dog eating. There are many unanswered questions, such as is he sorry about it, and how many dogs has he eaten, and when did he last eat one, and will he promise to America’s children whether he’ll stop eating their puppies. People need to know, yet he stands there silent… perhaps digesting a dog.
And hey, Obama, it’s either talk about this or about what a lousy president you are.
* Got a fund raising email from Newt Gingrich touting how he’s the last conservative left in the presidential race. Come on, dude. I mean, there’s being positive, and there’s being a crazy psycho. You’re kind of teetering over the edge there.
* So how is everyone adjusting to the knowledge that Romney is our nominee? It could be worse. He’s well-spoken, he has economic knowledge, and he’s never eaten a dog. We could win this.
* Zimmerman is out of prison on bail. I notice how many on the left are super hopeful they can turn this Zimmerman thing into a push for more gun control — as they were the last couple high profile shootings to no effect. They don’t really think these things through. Like, how many people are honestly worried about getting shot by the neighborhood watch? I’d think most of those people are criminals, and they don’t usually turn out in large numbers at the polls despite how much that would help the Democrats. Yet, hopeful liberals are always thinking that anytime a tragedy happens people will just throw up their hands and say, “That’s it; let’s give up on this freedom idea. Liberals: You tell us what to do to keep us safe.” Not going to happen; not while there’s a few people left who call themselves Americans with pride.
* Here’s an interesting idea: Have people for Congress chosen at random. Like jury duty (BTW, I just got a summons for jury duty — it sucks!). I can see a lot of advantages to it, as this whole electing people give those idiots an inflated sense of pride that wouldn’t happen if they were just chosen at random. And it’s not like we could accidentally find anyone too dumb for the job — it’s just voting yes or no on stuff. It’s worth consideration; random means less of a chance we end up with sociopaths as our current election system seems specially designed to weed them out of society and put them in positions of power.
* Wisdom of the Day from Jim Treacher:
To all my liberal friends: Just imagine how much fun you’d have had if George Bush was a dog-eater. Then double it. #ObamaEatsDogs
* Jay Leno has noticed that Republicans are more willing to laugh at themselves than Democrats are. I’ve certainly noticed that; at times, one could almost perceive IMAO as making fun of conservatives as we find it funny to laugh at our stereotypes. I don’t see the same thing very much with the left — part of that is because they consider their politics super serial, and the other is they lack self-awareness.
That’s okay. They don’t have to make jokes about themselves; we’ll gladly do that for them.
Did you hear that the president ate a dog?

It’s a demagogue eat dog world. He just did it to get a head.
Do you serve roast dog with a tennis ball in it’s mouth?
Obama walks into a bar, bartender says, sorry, we don’t serve dogs, especially ones who eat them.
“As you can see in the Village Voice post Harvey linked this morning, some liberals seem to be having trouble understanding what’s so funny about the president eating a dog and why the right keeps making jokes about it. I’ll try to explain: OBAMA ATE A DOG!”
And, the other hilarious thing is that it’s his own campaign that started this when they tried to make an issue about Romney’s dog riding on his car roof in 1983, when it turns out Obama ATE a dog!
This really is the “Man bites Dog” thing they talk about in journalism school. Times 100 because its the president.
Nothing invites ridicule like the inability to take a joke. And anyone who takes himself so seriously that he won’t acknowledge his own folly deserves derision.
If liberals had simply admitted that the whole Seamus story was a lame attempt to gin up fake outrage; if they had fessed up to a “fair cop” by Treacher and pled “No Mas” then this would have run its course in a couple of days. Instead they’ve tried to justify their entirely insupportable position. This only compounds their foolishness and attracts additional and well deserved scorn.
BTW: Obama ate a dog.
All of us closeted All CAPPERS can rejoice. OBAMA ATE A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG HE. ATE. A. DOG!!!! THANK U OBAMA. U ROCK!!! FREE AT LAST.
Treacher has liberal friends? STONE HIM!
They’re not so much friends as pets.
How long until OAAD joins the pantheon of internet acronyms alongside OMG and LOL?
Now to be fair, marxists have no sense of humor simply because they are pathetic and miserable, and their messiah ate a dog! Treacher the magnificent, was just trying to make them FEEL better by reminding them that HE AT A DOG! OMG the dude ate a DOG!!
BTW, that one ate a DOG!!
FrankJ was going to write a book on how that that one was the Greatest President in the History of Everything, but the DOG ate it and then that one ate the DOG!
WHAT’S THE VERY BEST?
O will forever think that EVERYONE is thinking about him eating a dog.
And he’ll be right! From now on people will see his mouth and and think that HE. ATE. A. DOG.
This is both funny and rewarding because we, who feel as Dohtimes “Free at last”, can sense justice shining the light of truth. O uses ridicule (through his underlings and the media) as a potent weapon and he has fallen by his own tactics, words and mean-spirited campaign. The spell is broken.
May Jim Treacher be blessed. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
(BTW, I am a somewhat of a dog expert and photos of Bo seem to show him uncomfortable with O, O’s hands often seem to be on his neck or otherwise dominating him…Poor Bo. As Treacher said, we probably won’t be seeing new photos of Bo for awhile…and those frequent “fun” photo ops of O eating are on hold as well, I suspect.)
All the posts are so so funny. I am truly sorry for the DOG/S. HE. ATE. but at least the life/lives were for a noble cause.
The lefties wanted to make fun of Romney because he was puttin’ on the dog, and then it turns out their man ate a dog. Then they think maybe they should make fun of Romney because his grandfather was a polygamist or something. Which means it’s fair to start making fun of Obama’s polygamist absentee father. After we finish the dog jokes, of course.
Bo, I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. And eat you. OK, I’ll tell you.
Bo says, EAT ME!
BTW, there’s a commie in the white house and he eats dogs.
The Zimmerman/Trayvon incident is an argument for gun control? Because Americans don’t want to be armed when a violent hood-rat beats their brains out?
Frank you should read up on the old Venetian form of government, that had the system you basically described for about 600 years. They did okay for themselves
They really get annoyed when you mock their attempts at insult and go back to the topic of the post.
Did you hear that the president ate a dog?
What president? Does the United States have a president? I thought that the office had just been vacant since January 20, 2009. I was probably confused because the president has been eating dogs since then.

Think of how wonderful the President is! Now kids don’t have to use the lame ‘My dog ate my homework’ excuse – instead, they have the MUCH more heart-wrenching excuse: “I didn’t do my homework because Obama ate my dog.” It’s beautiful man!
Second – That’s an excellent idea for how to pick congresscritters. Set them all up with a 1 year term and ever year we randomly pick new ones. As you’ve pointed out, I really don’t think we could do worse and the very size of the body would help minimize the effect of any real lunatics. So instead of having folks like Pelosi, Reid, Obama, et. al. all at once, we’d likely only have 2 or 3 spread across all of Congress. Can we write an amendment do to that?

I am wondering why nobody noticed or at least mentioned the dog eating before now. Did nobody read the famous autobiography? I thought it was a best seller.I thought the Obama’s got lots of money from it. Is that wrong? Or did Ayers not only write it but also buy up thousands of copies to create the illusion of a best seller?
The public deserves to know when Mr. Obama stopped eating dog meat. We want to be assured that he really has stopped. Surely many dog lovers won’t vote for him unless he tells the truth about such questions.
Daniel – the boring, honest answer is that in 2008, Republicans wanted to avoid the imprimatur of racism, so they wanted to take the high ground and ONLY criticize him on policy matters.
3 years later, Obama has shown that any petty ad hominem attack is fair game for his supporters to bring up, and Republicans have finally found the guts to play by his no-holds-barred, fist-to-the-balls version of dirty politics.
Yes, we know it’s irrelevant, but it makes him look bad, so we’re playing it to the hilt, because that’s EXACTLY his criteria for waging this campaign, and we will no longer fight with one hand tied behind our back.
