Swiss bank accounts

So That President (previously known as “That One”) wants the U.S. to adopt the “Swiss model” for banks.

That’s what the Financial Times reports:

Barack Obama, the president, who has tried to avoid panicking lawmakers and markets by entertaining the idea, has recently moved more towards what he calls the “Swedish model”

Ignoring for now the bunch of RINOs that are reported to be supporting this, I must say that I’m not surprised that Obama favors the Swiss model for banks.

After all, all the mob connections he has have been using Swiss banks for years.

Oh, wait. “SWEDISH” banks. The SWEDISH model. That’s different.

If it comes with the Swedish girls volleyball team, I’m all for it.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:

Yes, he’s looking down the barrel of a gun.


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.

Land of the Lost

You ever worry about dinosaurs? I know we’re supposed to be worrying about the economy and socialism right now, but I worry about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs ruled the earth for 160 million years — far far longer than humans have been around — and then suddenly disappeared 65 million years ago. But no one rules that long and suddenly just disappears. I don’t buy it.

I mean, how do we know they died out? The only reasons scientists believe that is because they haven’t seen one alive… but that’s not scientific evidence. Some scientists say they became the birds, but if you were a t-rex, would you be happy being a sparrow? And how do we know a t-rex couldn’t already sing pretty? I just know dinosaurs are out there and plotting something against their arch-nemeses — that mammals!

You know that dinosaurs were probably dismissive at first of mammals. “Look at those ridiculous little things with their stupid fur. And how can they possibly eat enough to keep up with their metabolism. They’re wasteful and absurd.” But then they realized the mammals were hard to kill because they’re wily. After a while, dinosaurs finally began to fear that mammals would take over and there would be a reckoning. So the dinosaurs went into hiding and patiently began plotting.

So what are they plotting? What is one thing all mammals have?

No, not the four-chambered heart. Something else.

That’s right! Hair! All mammals have hair. So this is what I’m guessing the dinosaurs are working on: It’s like an EMP blast, but it disables all combs. That’s right, the dinosaurs are going to take away our combs and leave us no way to control are unruly hair. Then the dinosaurs will emerge from their hiding places and point and laugh at our stupid hair. If aliens land and wonder who is in charge, do you think they’ll believe it’s the mammals with their mangy hair or the giant dinosaurs laughing at us? We’ll have effectively lost the planet.

Someone better ask Obama whether he has a plan for dealing with the dinosaurs. I bet he doesn’t because he’s stupid.

Or maybe he is one!
