… you think that, once Senator Gregg is confirmed as Commerce Secretary, Governor Lynch will pull a double-cross and appoint a Democrat.

Oaths Are Hard
I guess we need like simpler oaths or we’re going to end up in a Constitutional crisis. Maybe just something like: “Me be good to America.”
Obama’s Ideas for Dealing with North Korea
North Korea is going to be testing a new missile capable of hitting the U.S., so this could be one of Obama’s first real tests as president. Here are some of the options he’s contemplating for dealing with North Korea:
* Send unicorns to give them hugs.
* Nominate North Korean leaders as his cabinet members to expose their tax cheating.
* Settle everything with a smile contest.
* Really listen to Kim Jong Il’s whole Communism idea.
* To show cultural understanding, get really poofy hair.
* Give them some of our nuclear missiles as a gesture of good faith.
* Bomb his own country to show North Korea he knows who the real enemy is.
* Tell Kim Jong Il he knows the hurt that comes from having a funny name.
* Fire rays of hope at them from out of his butt.
* Talk. Really talk.
* Illegally spy on North Korea and rendition its people to be tortured by proxy (I’m not saying Obama will do that, but he is leaving the option open).
Useless Politicians
Whose idea was it to give Democrats a bunch of our money to spend? I’m guessing FDR. If I ever ran into him, he’d be extra crippled. I guess I should also put Woodrow Wilson’s head through drywall to be fair.
You know the Dilbert Principle? That’s where the useless people move on to management because you can’t spare promoting a good worker to management because then he’d no longer be doing the work. Politics seems to be governed by the same principle, as the majority of politicians are people who have never done anything useful outside of politics. Most of them are lawyers, who pass more laws so we need more lawyers. So how smart is it to give them power to dick around in a multi-trillion dollar economy?
I’m not really convinced we can come up with a system where we won’t mainly get useless people running for office, which is why it is so important to limit the power of politicians. They should be able to send out the military to destroy other countries — things we don’t care about — but they need to keep their hands off our money.

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.
