Saving the Planet: by John Edwards

as told to IMAO.
John Edwards recently suggested that American’s give up their SUV’s in order to save the environment. Sometimes, quotes can be taken out of context. We felt it only fair, in the interest of balance, to air this Public Service Announcement.

Ronin Profiles: Hebert

Hebert

Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Hebert.


What’s the story behind your name? My parents named me Hebert. It’s from the Bible.
Where do you live? Tacoma, Washington.
How old are you? 22 years old
Tell us briefly about yourself. I have a hilarious job (well…the disconnect between what I imagined my job would be when I was a kid and the job I ended up with is hilarious) that pays much more than I’m worth because I have a degree from an expensive school which I couldn’t afford. The system works!
I don’t think I like you. Why is that? There are lots of possible reasons. You might resent the fact that I’m funnier than you. And smarter. And that I’m better looking than you and that my girlfriend is prettier than your wife. Or, you may just resent my malignant narcissism.
However, if any of those are the reasons, then an additional reason would be that you’re crazy, because most of those aren’t even remotely true.
Maybe the reason you don’t think you like me is that you just don’t think about me at all. Which is fine. Nobody else does either.
Whatever the reason, should I assume that you do think you don’t like me? (Gets out pen and list of names…) Just curious…
How long have you been reading IMAO? Umm…two years, I think.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? I like Frank the Artist. Also, whenever the crazy monkey posts (not spacemonkey, the dumb monkey.)
[Not spacemonkey? -Ed.]
What’s you favorite political issue? Imperialism! For fun and profit! Like this:
“Everything looks good from here… Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive.”
( Stegosaurus) “We will rule over all this land, and we will call it… ‘This Land’.”
(T-Rex) “I think we should call it…your grave!”
(Stegosaurus) “Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”
(T-Rex) “Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh…now die!”
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Yes, I have a myspace page that I put together in High School. At least, I think I do, but I can’t find it.
If you could fire liberals out of a cannon, what would fire them at? Uhhhh….Helen Hunt, maybe. Or the Bahamas. Probably the Bahamas.


If you commented in the original post that you want to be included, you’re still in the running. Eventually I’ll have another post asking for who wants to participate, so keep reading. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!

Bonus Fact from Anonomouse Reader:
John Edwards had to stop using his Clapper because of the severe bruising he suffered from just using it one time.

Stuff Needs Washing

I don’t get why putting in foot baths for Muslims at schools is such a problem. I guess its because most people don’t really see the point in washing their feet. Well, why don’t places just start putting in bidets. Muslims can use them to wash their feet and everyone else can use them to wash their bums. Everyone is happy. That’s synergy, people.

Just Because


One of my favorite Scrubs moments.

Math and Reading SAT Scores Drop, Democrats Rejoice

WASHINGTON (AP) – Average scores on the reading and math sections of the SAT test declined slightly this year, indicating that America’s teenagers are dumber than ever. This news was greeted by jubilation from Democrats across the country.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained her party’s barely-suppressed giddiness. “The fact is, Democrats have nothing to offer the average intelligent, self-sufficient person. All we can do is take advantage of drooling idiots who want to put their lives in the hands of the Nanny State. Our only shot at political power is the votes of people who are too dumb to think for themselves. This time, it’s the jackpot. Think for themselves? Hell, these pierced & tatted Avril wanna-be’s can barely think at all!”
Ms. Pelosi took time out to dance a merry jig of happiness before continuing. “If current stupidity trends continue – and, like global warming, there’s no reason to think this trend could be just a minor statistical blip based on bad data – the US will be solid blue, ocean to ocean, by 2015, which my mathematical skills tell me is an election year. The only obstacle currently standing in our way is the fact that the word ‘vote’ is longer and more difficult than ‘cat’ or ‘dog’.”
However, some people objected to being called “mega-tard-tastic” just because of piss-poor standardized test scores. Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Upton (Miss South Carolina) explained her point of view:

Afterwards, Ms. Pelosi danced another jig.

Frank Idea for Attorney General

I was thinking I would be neglecting my civic duty if I didn’t offer some suggestions for Attorney General to replace Alberto Gonzales. According to Wikipedia, the United States Attorney General is “the head of the United States Department of Justice concerned with legal affairs and is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States government fart poopie boogers.”
So who best fits that description?
Robocop: Robocop was my first reaction. He is part man, part machine, all cop. Robocop is good at enforcing laws. Also, he has a gun in his leg. He would be programmed with these directives:
1. Serve the public trust
2. Protect the innocent
3. Uphold the law
4. (Classified)
I’m guessing the fourth one is something that would allow him to break the other directives in the case of helping a Bush-Cheney dictatorship, but who knows.
“Dirty” Harry Callahan: I think it would be perfect for the chief law enforcement officer to be a rogue cop who doesn’t play by the rules. Of course, this could be trouble for him at his confirmation hearings as Democrats would proclaim, “We can’t confirm him! He’s a rogue cop! And not just a rogue cop; a rogue cop who doesn’t play by the rules!” Callahan would then say, “Rules are made to be broken, just like your nose!” And then he’d punch the Democrat in the face, because that’s what Callahan does: He punches liberals in the face when they get in the way of justice!
Horatio Cain: C.S.I. from Miami, notable for often committing more homicides than he solves. I’m not even sure if C.S.I.s usually even carry guns, but he’s always running in ahead of S.W.A.T. teams and what not shooting suspects. Anyway, he has a great analytical mind. Also, he has sunglasses. If someone got in a legal dispute with him, he be like, “That would be a matter for…” Dramatically puts on his sunglasses. “…the Supreme Court.” Steps off to the side while a song by The Who starts to play.
Well, that’s all the ideas I have for Attorney General. It’s kinda a boring job. Maybe it would be more interesting if the Attorney General got some sort of jet copter so he could fly around and quickly enforce laws. The jet copter should have missiles. “Aiee! It’s the Attorney General!” criminals would yell upon site of his jet copter breaking up their drug dealing. Now that’s U.S. justice!
