It’s okay to hang Sarah Palin

I’m sure you’ve seen the stories about the house out in Hollywood that decorated for Hallowe’en by putting up an effigy of Sarah Palin … hanging by the neck.

Some have criticized the display, demanding it be taken down. Others don’t like it, but say it’s all in fun. And then there are those that wish it was really Sarah Palin hanging there.

Me? I’m a supporter of Gov. Palin, and I think the display of her being hung is … perfectly fine.

Question on Murtha

Does he have the temperament to be in Congress?

Who am I kidding? There’s tons of embarrassing loons in the House of Representatives. I don’t know why that district in Pennsylvania needs one, though.

Thanks for the memories. And the truth.

I miss Bob Hope. He was a comedic genius.

See. Told ya.

The NYT Becomes Even More Evil

The Puppy Blender has an op-ed in the New York Times about whether Biden or Palin is right about the role of the Vice President (HINT: It’s the one who is sometimes a little flustered in interviews because she’s not so good at just making stuff up). I forget if I’ve mentioned this before, but what kind of middle name is “Harlan”? Or is it racist for me to even mention the Puppy Blender’s middle name?

Anyway, for those keeping track, the people allowed to write opinions in the NYT are:
* The extremely liberal.
* People who put puppies in blenders.

Sorry, McCain, you don’t fall into either category. No op-ed for you!

I Shouldn’t Vote

If only the military voted in the election, McCain would win in a landslide of 68% to 23%. That makes sense, because the more that someone likes this country, the more likely he is to vote Republican. So someone who likes this country enough to fight for it is going to be very Republican. I may think I really like this country, but if I explained how much I like this country to someone in the military he’d be like, “You’re pathetic!” and push me down in the mud.

To which I’d say, “Maybe, but pushing me in the mud was a little over the top.”

Anyway, maybe we should consider following the Heinlein principle of only allowing those who’ve served in the military to vote. Sure, I’d lose my vote, but if I really missed it I could stop being so pathetic and join the military. Even if I don’t, though, stop pushing me in the mud.

Frank Explains Things to Syria

The Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moallem demanded an explanation for the raid by the US on its territory. Being that IMAO’s main job is to inform, I’ll try to explain things to him. Here’s the facts we had about Syria:

* The country is foreign, which is suspicious.

* The country is in the Middle East — also very suspicious.

* The country is full of Muslims, and, while we don’t like to profile, that is quite suspicious.

* We heard there are guns in the country, which is certainly a cause for concern in light of the other points.

So, adding that all together, Syria is a foreign country in the Middle East full of Muslims with guns. Sounds like they’re up to something to me, hence the raid.

I hope that explains things for you, Walid.

Caption any politicians, candidates, elected officials or campaign talking heads you want, and send ’em in.

Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolterizt! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.

#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.

HAT TIP: Snapped Shot for handy links to ripe-for-captioning photos.

Send your submissions to lolterizt-at-gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

Investment advice

A friend of mine mentioned yesterday that he’s investing in gold.

He seems to think the whole world economy has only begun to go to hell in a handbasket. He thinks the worst is yet to come.

Because he thinks Obama will win the election.

And Obama might.

Yes, my friend is right: If Obama wins, things will only get worse.

And perhaps my friend has the right idea: invest in metals.

Only, I don’t think I’m going to invest in gold.

I’m thinking steel, brass, and lead.
