In other words, nothing unusual happened today.

Obama’s Birth Certificate
My official stance on the Obama birth certificate issue is I don’t care. Thus, I haven’t really followed it closely enough to know if there is anything to it, but it does have the whiff of a conspiracy theory. Even if there is something to it, I think the rule that the president has to be a natural born citizen is stupid. What’s it supposed to protect against? Electing someone foreign who doesn’t have America’s interest’s at heart? If someone like that was about to get elected by the American people and the only thing stopping it was a little rule in the Constitution, we’re pretty much screwed already, as there are plenty of people without America’s best interests at heart who are natural born. Frankly, I’m for letting the American people elect whomever they feel like electing.
Furthermore, Obama was elected pretty resoundingly so, it doesn’t help conservatives to try to overturn that on some technicality. We actually have to win on the arguments one of these days.
Rick-Rolling Hitler
A Nobel Laureate said he thinks the internet might have stopped Hitler.
Well, the internet didn’t stop Bush.
Bush = Hitler
Ergo, the internet could not stop Hitler.
That’s basic science logic. A Nobel winner should know that. I mean, the internet couldn’t even stop Obama, so how is it going to stop Hitler? Through rude, semi-literate comments on his YouTube videos? Humiliation by LOLcats renderings of his pictures (“mushtash — ur doin it rong!”)? Oh, I know — an internet petition telling him to not kill the Jews.
Know what would have really stopped Hitler? A satellite that shoots lasers from space. That’s what we need to focus on.
Prescription Strength Firearms
Constitution Arms is making a 9mm pistol for the elderly and those with arthritis (it fires using the thumb) and apparently they’ve gotten it classified as a medical device which means a doctor will be able to prescribe it and then medicare or private insurance should pay for it.
DOCTOR: What’s the matter?
PATIENT: I have a cough and I keep getting mugged.
DOCTOR: (writing prescriptions) Here’s something for the cough and here’s something for the muggers. Take the cough medicine once daily. As for the muggers, just apply this directly to their face. Persist until symptoms subside.
And this could also mean a new setup for action movies:
DOCTOR: You seem angry. It’s adversely affecting your blood pressure.
PATIENT: Punks killed my family.
DOCTOR: I recommend vengeance, then. I’m going to write you up a prescription for two guns… oh and something for your joints so you can leap through the air while firing them.
lolterizt! Part 70
This week terrorists, next week That One. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com
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.
NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.
From Brian:
This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
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@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.
