Yay! House M.D. is back tonight! If only I didn’t have to wait through American Idol. Actually, we’ll probably watch it tomorrow. God bless the DVR.
Oh, I’d just like to thank the Earsore for all the traffic her skanky prom dress has gotten me over at mm today. And no thanks to Vote For the Worst. I thought their voting for the worst was comical, but now they’re backing the Earsore, and really, do we want her to stick around so she can make me want to pour acid in my ears every time I hear her? So boo on you VFTW peeps. Yer killing me.

You Trailer Trash Hitler Hicks!
Found this comment to my short post on illegal immigrants from “wiseguy”:
all you posters are just some low life trailer trash hicks and are a poor excuse for human beings. reminds me of germans that rallied for hitler. maybe trying to combine your carrot brains and buying a history book might actually open your diluted eyes.
Apparently, if you read the history books, the Nazi’s taking over Germany came about from anger over their trailer park getting hit with a tornado and the government’s inability to do anything about it. Naturally, the Jews were blamed.
Without trolls, how would we learn anything?
They Made Me Work!
Sorry for the lack of posting today, but, right after I posted my promo for the new shirt designs, I got called in for an all day meeting.
Yeah, no excuses; I should plan better. Anyway, I’ll try to have a good In My World™ tomorrow to make up for it.
Anyway, I appreciate the feedback on the shirts. I saw some complaints for lack of graphics, but I couldn’t think of any to go with those new designs plus the back print shirts already have the IMAO moon logo on the front. I and the rest of the IMAO staff will keep adding new designs as we have time (I have tons of ideas… including some with graphics; who wants a S.M.I.T.E. t-shirt?).
UPDATE: BTW, here’s the editorial one of shirts designs came from. I plan on turning more editorial titles into shirts.
Plagarizing myself is fun!
Springtime in Paris
France may not have gotten the nod for the 2012 Summer Games, but they’re doing a fine job of hosting the 2006 Mayhem Jamboree:
Hundreds of thousands of protesters packed the streets of French cities and stalled the transportation system Tuesday, protesting a controversial labor law that would allow employers to more easily hire and fire young workers.
As the day wore on, police were ordered to clear the Place de La Republic, a large square in central Paris.
On one side of the square, police fired tear gas and on another side of the park, police used water canons to fire jets of water at the protesters.
This is standard procedure for French Riot Police, because nothing is more offensive and demoralizing to a Frenchman than forcing him to wash.
Illegal Immigration – Shmillegal Shmimmigration
There are some people in the U.S. illegally who don’t like the U.S. immigration laws. That’s a real shame. I feel sorry for them that they feel so unwelcome. That is not good. People, even hard working law abiding criminal type people, need to feel welcome. And they SHOULD feel welcome.
I want them to know, as far as I’m concerned, that they ARE in fact welcome. TO LEAVE.
My message to them: “Thanks for visiting leaving! Come back anytime when you’re legal!”
Don’t worry: You’ll have an opinion some day.
Let’s talk about the issues.
Illegal immigration. Gay marriage. The war in Iraq.
I want to know what you think. Tell me.
(Two second pause)
Ha ha!! Fooled you. You’re not a pro — so I don’t CARE what you think.
I say this because professional crackpot (and syndicated columnist) Molly Ivins has chimed in with something I’ve long suspected: you bloggers should not be allowed to have opinions.
Don’t believe me? Follow this link.(Hat Tip: Betsy’s Page) Here’s my favorite quote:
I have long argued that no one should be allowed to write opinion without spending years as a reporter — nothing like interviewing all four eyewitnesses to an automobile accident and then trying to write an accurate account of what happened. Or, as author-journalist Curtis Wilkie puts it, “Unless you can cover a five-car pile-up on Route 128, you shouldn’t be allowed to cover a presidential campaign.”
You’re probably thinking: Isn’t Molly Ivins the one who said the United States had killed more civilians than Saddam Hussein? Then she ended up eating crow and apologizing to all those people who risk their lives so she can skip her medication and sit at her computer?
Shows you what YOU know — that would be a fact, not that you’d know it because YOU’RE not a professional reporter. Thusly, you’re not allowed to have an opinion unless you can report on a five car pile up.
So would you like to try?
As a guide, I’ve compiled a collection of “professional news organizations” and how they would cover the same event.
Your opinion please: A Primer on Being a Real Reporter–
CBS News. It has been reported that there is a five car pile up on highway 128. We believe that’s the exact highway that President Bush would have used had he ever bothered to report for his National Guard service during the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the technology does not exist to know if the cars involved were modern cars or cars from 1972. We apologize in advance for not having details but we needed to get this story out ASAP.
SF Chronicle. In a surprise that was a surprise to no one, 5 cars piled up on Highway 128 yesterday afternoon. Said one witness, “It was amazing. One car stopped. Then another one plowed right into his rear end. And then another guy piled right into his backside.” The incident was caught on film and has been nominated for an Academy Award. “We feel it should stand a good chance unless the Academy gets a sudden bout of homophobia.” No drivers were hurt in the accident as they all practiced safe driving.

We have to ask ourselves. How much of this did the White House know about? And why weren’t we told about it sooner? This five car pile up was hideous. Did we kill any Iraqi babies in the process? Why isn’t anyone giving us honest answers?

First Nofziger, now Weinberger.
Sources say that Sean Hannity will be flying his hair at half-staff for the rest of the week.

Okay, so there was a protest
Well, it turns out that Houston wasn’t totally absent from the mass protests by illegal aliens across the country against the Immigration Reform bills in Congress, waving their Mexican and Aztlan flags. There were a few hundred students who walked out of classes and marched on the Immigration Office on the North side of town.
The kids who skipped classes will be disciplined for cutting class without an excuse. However, I think that as an additional punishment, the student who was quoted as saying this on the radio during the walkout needs to be beaten with the Irony Stick:
“We all want an education, we all want something in life.”
Let me get this straight: you all want an education, so you walk out of classes? The classes that the nation you’re in illegally provides you for free, and in your own language when you can’t be bothered to learn the primary language of commerce and education in that country?
I guess if you’re stupid enough to walk out on your education to protest that you want an education, you’re stupid enough to open your mouth and let everyone know it.
What’s next? Abstinence protests against teen pregnancy? Hunger strikesprotesting obesity?
Welcome to Houston: Here’s a diploma. And a leafblower.
Support the Separation of Church and Murder!
Tolerance shouldn’t be a substitute for convictions, and many people are starting to realize that the backwards beliefs of Islam need to be attacked themselves – even if it isn’t “nice” to speak against religious beliefs. To make money off this movement, I’ve come up with three designs so you can show you support the separation of church and murder.
Buy now, or I’ll taunt you for being a coward!
