Well, well, well! It seems the Republicans in the Senate just may have grown a pair by promising to stand united and filibuster the Dems’ Hurry-Up Offense flurry of Progressive wish-list legislation in advance of their turning over the keys to the House in January. At least until the looming massive tax-increases on absolutely everyone who pays taxes are stopped and the government is kept funded until the next Congress can pass an actual budget (something the Dems thought was trivial and not worth their time and effort despite it being one of the few responsibilities of the Congress enumerated in the Constitution! — See Article 1, Section 9, the part about “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”)
After all, the voters decided to evict Nancy and the Donks from the Big Chair for just such abuses of power as, well, rushing through unpopular and possibly unconstitutional legislation that does nothing but screw up the economy and destroy the fabric of the country in order to serve their special interest groups and nutroot kooks…oh, and of course, The Dark Lord Soros instead of concentrating on what’s best for the country, like jobs and the economy and people’s ability to do trivial crap like feed their kids and pay their mortgages. So, naturally, the Democrats schedule a last-gasp effort to do the former again at the expense of the latter. Go figure!
So, what could be so important that the Democrats need to hurry up and pass it with their collective dying breath before bothering with a budget and saving the populace from the untold economic misery from a massive tax increase even most of them agree we can’t afford in the midst of one of the worst recessions in history?
New powers for the Food Police that will cause food prices to skyrocket; Gays serving openly in the military; Free goodies for illegal aliens…the really, really important stuff the whole country can’t wait to see passed!
So, since they seem intent on making asses of themselves, let’s help the Democrats out here by helping them fill in some more important agenda items that need to be addressed before the Republicans can block it in the House and they need to concentrate on all that mundane, necessary stuff like budgets.
Now it’s your turn! What else can the Democrats do in the lame-duck session before the clock runs out on the Progressive Candyland Grab-a-Thon? Have at it in the comments!
Trick-or-Treat! Happy Halloween, IMAOans™! In recognition of this cherished holiday, I have pulled some of my classic horror movie posters out of the vault and reposted them here on IMAO (for the first time) for your amusement. Have a happy, fun and safe holiday!
First up, from November 7, 2008…. the most horrifying story of all time. Thankfully, with your help, it’s two-year engagement is finally ending on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the damage inflicted by this ugly beast will take years to repair.
Next up, my 2009 Halloween Halloween Cavalcade of Horror…
Sweet dreams! Muwahahahaha!!!

Since Frank is obviously too busy changing diapers and trying to remember what it felt like to sleep, I figure someone ought to step in to amuse you folks for awhile, so here’s my poor imitation of a “Random Thoughts” post for you to play with. Now, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges of my wit (or is that the rough edges of my unrefined attempts at humor)!
• I used to fantasize about living to see the day the Democrat caucus in Congress was so small, they could hold a party convention in a phone booth! After reading stories the last few weeks about polls showing that so many Democrats, including such vile and long-thought-to-be-permanently-unbeatable Democrat leaders as Barney Frank, John Dingell, Harry Reid, Russ Feingold, and Steny Hoyer (among others) were in serious trouble, I actually thought for one brief, shining moment, that my dream may actually have been on the verge of coming true!… Then I became disheartened when I realized that, alas, it was never going to happen… there’s no such thing as a phone booth anymore!
•Who says Dick Blumenthal has no idea how to create a job? If you ask me, he seemed to be making serious progress during that debate last week at getting Linda McMahon hired as a United States Senator!
•You’ve got to admit, God has a pretty good sense of humor. First, he gets the people of the Orlando, Florida area to elect a man who is, quite possibly, the most toxic, evil, maniacal dirtbag ever to serve in the U.S. Congress in Alan Grayson. Then, when the man who bears a striking resemblance to the Devil comes up for re-election 2 years later, he finds himself running against a man named Daniel Webster. Did Stephen Vincent Benét own a crystal ball?
•Speaking of Krystal Ball… I don’t think that’s what the old song meant by “reindeer games”… but I could be wrong!
•Krystal Ball? Seriously??? Good job, parents! Real clever! I’m sure she never got teased in school or anything. She fit right in with her classmates: Bobby Pinn, Mike Raphone, Rob Banks, Phil McCracken, Jean Splicer, Shirley Eugeste, Patty Khake. Anita Mann…
•I wish people would leave Obama alone about all the golf he’s been playing the last couple of years. After all, since O.J. got locked up in the pokey in Las Vegas, somebody had to continue his search for the “real killers” on every golf course in America!
•By the way, I think I have a great campaign slogan for Obama’s re-election effort: “‘Fore!’ more years!”
Well, howdy!!! Seems the folks over yonder at the DNC, or as they preferred to be called nowadays, “The Circle D” have come up with a fancy new brandin’ logo to paste on all them mindless cattle what like to vote for ‘em. Mercy sakes alive, they’s even tellin’ the cattle to pay to brand themselves for ‘em! What a riot!
Trouble is tho’, their new logo really ain’t all that fancy at all. In fact, it seems downright bland if you ask me! But, seein’ as how our very own Harvey noticed a certain similarity ‘tween their “fancy” new logo and Sir Thomas Crapper’s great contribution to human civ’lization, I got to thinkin’ maybe they’d like some help mooovin’ that there merchandise they’s a-sellin’, so I whupped up a few bumper stickers fer ‘em based on Harvey’s much more eye-pleasin’ redesign! Let me know what y’all think…
Ya know, one thing keeps on a-botherin’ me about that new logo. It seems a might too familiar…
I knew I’d seen it somewhere’s before! Them Democrats is as sneaky as rattlesnakes and twice as slipp’ry! Best mind yourselves when wanderin’ near ‘em, I always say.

Sen. Harry Reid on Delaware’s Democratic Party U.S. Senate candidate Chris Coons, a self-described Marxist:
“I just think the world of him. He’s my pet.”
Well, at least he doesn’t shed.

A new post has appeared over at America is an Obamanation! from our good friend, Former Vice-President Al Gore, which I would like to share with all of you here as well…
Greetings, my fellow Americans. As you have doubtlessly heard by now, my wife Tipper and I have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage. While understandably sad at this development, I also see it as an opportunity to explore a whole new world that I could not have freely explored before.
For one thing, I decided to get myself a new makeover! The trouble is, I have had it done several times already, but just can’t decide which new look is best for me. So, I have decided to leave it up to you, my loyal subjects.
Please indicate in the comments which of my fabulous new hair-dos best reveals the real me, you know… the one that will have all the ladies just begging to release my second chakra!
Hugs and kisses,
Al

Turns out President Obama’s seemingly out of touch reaction to the Gulf oil spill disaster was all the result of a simple misunderstanding.
When his advisers told him he needed to spend more time on the “Gulf Coast,” he thought they said that he needed to spend more time on the “Golf Course.”
Oops!
As you all must know by now, America is in the midst of a disaster of massive proportions due to a giant hole that has, for far too long, been spewing toxic waste into our environment and wreaking further havoc on large sectors of our already severely wounded economy.
Until now, little if anything has been done to seal up this hole and contain the damage. In response to this crisis, Our Great Leader stepped forth and boldly demanded, in a manner befitting his vast leadership skills, that someone, “Plug the damn hole!”
And, at last, someone did…
In recognition of the 65th Anniversary of Hitler’s “supposed” death…
After careful research into the claims of many leftists that President George W. Bush is, in fact, a carbon copy of infamous German dictator Adolf Hitler, we here at IMAO were more than a bit disturbed by the many eerie similarities we were able to uncover between the two world leaders.
Seeing as how George W. Bush was born into the world on July 6, 1946, a little over a year after the death of Adolf Hitler on April 30, 1945, we must agree it is quite possible that he is, in fact, the very reincarnation of history’s greatest monster!
Consider the evidence:
