Daily John Edwards Fabulous Fact

john edwards fabulous.jpgJohn Edwards’s last trip to sporting event was doubly disappointing. Not only did the Charlotte Sting lose, but the lines for the ladies’ room were just unconscionable!
Bonus Fact from Jim:
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country” – John F. Kennedy

Osama Tape Transcript

Provided as a public service from IMAO, because the Lamestream Media is too chicken to do it:


Hey! What’s this lyin’ around s@#$?
You think this war’s over just ‘cuz Bush dropped a surge on Iraq?
What?
Over?
Did you say ‘over’?
Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hell no!
And it ain’t over now!
‘Cause when the going gets tough… the tough get going!
Who’s with me? Let’s go!
What the @#$% happened to the Al Qaeda I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts? Huh? This could be the greatest fight of our lives, but you’re going to let it be the worst. “Oh, we’re afraid to go with you, Osama. We might get in trouble.”
Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this!
Bush? He’s a dead man.
Howard? Dead!
Brown? Dead!
You know I’m right.
Psychotic, but absolutely right.
We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives.
No, in this case I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
And we’re just the guys to do it.
Let’s do it.
LET’S DO IT!
Go! Go! Go!


I think this speech might have worked, given this photo recently taken in Baghdad:

See If You Miss Me

I’m going to be away on business until late Friday night without much access to a computer, so I’m leaving the blog in Harvey’s hands for the rest of the week. If something major happens, though, I don’t think I ever gave him administrative access since I don’t trust him on account of him being godless. Since many of you mistake his and other’s posts for mine, you probably won’t even know I’m gone. Also, facts will still be posted at their regularly scheduled times.
I’ve gotten an advanced copy of Michael Z. Williamson’s newest novel Better to Beg Forgiveness… to read for my trip. I like advanced copies because I like having things other people can’t (like SarahK; BTW, none of you better try to woo her away from me while I’m gone).
Also, if you want more reading, don’t forget SarahK’s Snark Raving Mad blog where she snarks all the TV shows we watch together. Cadet Happy also blogs there on reality TV shows.
Be honorable, ronin.

Osama Versus Obama: You Decide!

Ladies and Gentlemen, there’s nothing more embarrassing than having a presidential candidate confuse a Democrat with a world class terrorist. Such a mistake was made by presidential candidate Mitt Romney. I don’t know how this happens. On the one hand, you have somebody who has pledged that all American troops will withdraw one day from Iraq in shameful, humiliating defeat: on the other hand, you have Osama Bin Laden.
Osama. Obama. The names are so much alike. But are the men alike? It’s time to make sure we truly understand the differences between these two characters once and for all. That’s why IMAO is launching a new series called
Osama Versus Obama: Never Shall They Be Confused Again.
Today’s lesson. American Patriotism.

You decide. Which one is it?
Look at all the clues and post in comments.

Sanity Check

I’ve now had a number of people over the month or two I’ve been doing this who I e-mailed questions to, but never got a response. Has anyone e-mailed me his or her answers and not had a post in Ronin Profiles? I might be missing some e-mails… because it’s hard to believe that people would receive an e-mail from me, the great Frank J., and not respond immediately. Don’t you people understand that my time is much more important than yours?

Ronin Profile: Luipaard

Luipaard

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


What’s the story behind your name? I write a lot of fiction; “Luipaard” is a name I gave one of my characters. I ended up liking it so much that I decided to use it online!
Where do you live? I live in…A CITY…in the state of Texas. (TEXAS, YEAH!)
How old are you? I have aged a specific set of years, set at a point in the space-time continuum.
Tell us briefly about yourself. Oh, there’s not much to know about me. I like to write books, read books, chew books…. Oh, that was the Terry Pratchett in me, sorry. As stated above, I live in Texas — and I probably suffer from an overdose of pride, in that area. Sorry folks. sweatdrop
I have yet to complete my secondary education; take from that what you will.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Hmm. It was in fact my father who discovered it; he read out loud a post concerning ninjas that gave the whole family a giggle. I think that was about five or six years ago.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Know Thy Enemy; Fred Thompson Facts; Frank Reads the Bible; and Frank on Guns.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Hmm, this one’s tough…. Ah! Energetic, Awesome, and Kewl. (Yes. Kewl. Not Cool. Kewl.)
What’s your favorite political issue? Just one? Well, my top one is the Iraq war; then its gun control, and then gay marriage. (Which, actually, I’m in favor of; I think gays should be allowed to get married. I’m sorry. That’s just the way I feel.)
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I have a blog/journal, but it’s rather personal, so I don’t think it would be a good idea to give it out.
What do you think is the best way to kill a monkey? Trap it, and then shoot its head off with my Mateba auto-revolver! Disgusting creatures, monkeys, grrr….


If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.

Glenn Beck: America Haters Deserve Fire

I found this through a site called carpetbagger. (H/T to Salon) . According to this post, Glenn Beck says that those America Haters have now had their homes burned. Now, this might seem like an extreme view to some, but I have to say that Glenn and I see eye to eye on this.
I mean, if your viewpoint on this (or on anything) is different than mine, then the only proper punishment is to have your home burned along with all of your worldly possessions. It’s probably one of the best ways to end any arguments. I find that people put up much less of a fight when they’re sleeping out of a cardboard box.
Does anyone disagree with me on this one? (Ducky pulls out his lighter and starts taking note of the commenters’ names.)
Excellent. As long as we’re having a rational discussion, let’s talk about the REAL reason those America haters, all half a million of them, have been pushed out of their homes while the fires get put down: They have angered the Oink the Pig God.
Sounds crazy, but they probably deserved it. Please look at this overhead shot, provided by ABC news.

Do you not see it? Here, let me help with some outlining.

See? Evidence.
Let us be like Glenn. Let us NOT have compassion on people who are on the verge of losing everything they own. Their America Hating has angered Oink, the god of Pork.
I hope that my ample evidence has hardened your heart enough to keep you from caring. Remember, it’s easy to think we’re all in this together.

Time for the Tide to Turn

We had a great debate that made me more confident in all our frontrunners. The “defeat at any cost” crowd is losing steam. Pete Stark once again demonstrated how whimpering and weak the Democrats are. Now Fred Thompson has just released a new enforcement-centric plan on combating illegal immigration that’s sure to please the base. I’m starting to think the Republicans getting some momentum.
Of course, with all the seats they have to defend, Republicans are going to need freight train momentum just to keep things as they are, but we should never overestimate (underestimate?) just how weak the Democrats are no matter how much power they hold.

Beg! Beg for Mercy! Kneel Before Zod Bush!

Pete Stark, slandered both the President and the troops when he said:

“You don’t have money to fund the war or children. But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.”

It was an idiotic non sequitur when arguing for the latest liberal hand out, sCHIP, but he originally stuck by his statement and the hateful little goblins of Kos gurgled with glee and shook their tiny fists triumphantly while exclaiming, “He speeks twoof to power! Twoof to power!”
It didn’t last. Not only has Stark now apologized, but he has apologized in the most pathetic way possible:

“I want to apologize to my colleagues, many of whom I have offended,” Stark began. He then apologized to “the president and his family” and “the troops.”
“I hope that with this apology, I return to being as insignificant as I should be,” he concluded though a voice cracking with emotion.

He did everything but admit he is President Bush’s bitch and then tuck his tail between his legs to conceal his tiny genitals before sulking off.
Let that be a lesson to you, Kos Kids: You are all weak and pathetic and should not even imagine standing up to us Republicans. Learn to live with disappointment.
