Should Sean Connery Be the Official Actor of IMAO?

Apparently he wanted to blow up the moon. Apparently Sean Connery’s movie contract stipulates that each movie he’s in has to have a bigger explosion than the previous:

“In ‘The Rock’ he’d blown up an island, and he was demanding in ‘The League…’ that he blow up Venice or something like that. It would have been the moon in his next movie.”

I have to put some doubts on the article, though. They say they’re quoting Alan Moore, the director of League of Extraordinary Gentleman, but Alan Moore was the author of the graphic novel and probably wouldn’t have touched the movie production with a ten foot poll. So either they confused the name of the actual director of the movie or the article is total bull.

They Should Call it WhySarahPalinIsSoFreakingAwesome.Org

Here at IMAO, we usually focus on the negative. And mock it mercilessly. But today I celebrate the positive.

Celebutard Ashley Judd (Who? I have no idea. I’m guessing she’s one of those no-talent, casting-couch pass-arounds that’s famous for being famous.) has offered her imprimatur to a site called EyeOnPalin.org. Upon hearing the news, I assumed it was just another Palin slander site like SarahPalinExposed.com or ABC.

Boy was I ever wrong.

This site has everything a Palin fan could want. Except maybe significant quantities of frequently updated content. But that tiny flaw aside, what it does have is magnificent.

Start with the header banner:

She hates wolves! She hates ALL wildlife! Plus that picture that makes guys with a librarian fetish go weak in the knees.

And it gets better. She’s got a freakin BODY COUNT!:

That’s right. Sarah Palin not only kill wolves, she kills them FROM A MOVING AIRPLANE!

Not quite as cool as belittling Democrats from a stationary podium, but a close second in my book.

Plus the site give all these great reasons to vote for Sarah Palin if she blesses us by running in 2012. These headlines practically write their own campaign commercial:


* Palin battles for ANWR drilling

* Palin does no favors for musk oxen

* Palin supports in-state gas line

* Palin Fights Endangered Listing for Belugas

* First wolves, now polar bears

* Environmentalists Assail Palin


This awesome Palin video wasn’t on the site, but was available at the link above:

I love that headline at the 12 second mark.

Oh, and there’s something for the kiddies. A pdf drawing of a wolf for your wee ones to print out and color. Please note they have to draw in their own airplanes and streaming bullets, which is probably just the site’s way of encouraging children to develop their artistic skills.

But if I had to choose the thing I like best about the site, it would be the fact that the WORST picture they could find of Sarah Palin looks better than the BEST picture they could find of Ashley Judd.

Consider this one bookmarked.

As Usual, the Rest of the World Still Has Some Learning to Do

We may be all cool with having a black president, but I’m not sure the rest of the world is quite ready. C. Raja Mohan, one of India’s leading foreign policy analysts, recently said this about Washington’s decision to lay off of the Kashmir region:

“You kill a chicken to scare a monkey. We killed the chicken and the monkey got the message.”

Dude, not cool. That may have been a perfectly cromulent statement when Bush was president, but now that crap will get war on you.
