Here’s some facts about the moon. Did you know the moon is slowing us down? Eventually, the moon will cause the earth’s rotation to slow so much that a day will last a month. Unless you think you can stay up a whole month without sleep, we need to do something about the moon.

Capitalist Propaganda: “200”
From 1975, proof that at one time, not all hippies completely hated America. This funky little number was paid for by the government and animated by Vincent Collins, who is still alive and well and living in San Francisco and going by “Vince” these days. Most internet sources refer to it as 200, but at 2:46, it’s clearly titled “BI CENTENNIAL”
The music is chipper & upbeat, the images are all positive and patriotic. My only complaint is the stupid peace sign on the flag.
It was weird to watch, because I kept waiting for Mount Rushmore to morph into a 3-headed Hitler who sends his eagle-morphing-into-a-vulture flying into the ghetto to devour screaming, helpless minorities or something.
Never happened.
It’s all good. Right down to the cornucopia spewing out cars, hamburgers, TV’s, hot dogs & baseballs.

Obama is so useless and ineffective as president that…
Award!
Wolfman George of Monkeys on Horses! has honored IMAO with the “Monkeys on Horses ‘You Blew It Up! Award” Award.
Why did IMAO blow up the Statue of Liberty? Several reasons:
* Because replacing the statue costs less than having Obama do fly-by photo-ops over it.
* Anything to prevent Letterman from calling her a slutty airline stewardess.
* We didn’t blow it up, we just “restructured” it.
Besides, Obama told us that if we didn’t blow up the Statue of Liberty, he’d declare IMAO “too big to fail” and have it come out of bankruptcy as a cat blog.
FINE PRINT:
To join the exclusive club of blogs who honor IMAO and have your award featured on our sidebar with a link to your blog, make up a fancy award image honoring IMAO, blog about it, and drop a link in the comments.
Keep it PG-13, and if it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, your award will be duly noted in a post (Current estimated wait time – 1 Award posts), and placed in the sidebar with a link to your site.
As added incentive for people to honor IMAO with worthless, made-up awards, those who do so may proudly display this worthless, made-up Participant Ribbon:
If you don’t have a blog, then send your image to harvolson-at-gmail.com and include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts.
For the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint
Or try the free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. Please make sure text is at least barely legible at that size.
Now get honoring!
Random Thoughts
Illegal immigrants do the jobs that we won’t do because illegal immigrants are already doing them for less money.
Palin is as smart and capable as her supporters think, but they’re going to be disappointed when they one day find out she’s a politician.
Anyone try that search engine Google? I think it gets me a lot better results than the others.
Tiller was like a hitman but for babies. Much lower risk than taking out hits on adults and more profitable. Plus, as long as the baby didn’t have any friends, the cops won’t even care.
When Tiller was assigned a hit, did he get a name or was he secretly slipped a manila envelope containing a sonogram of his target?
Anyway, it was pretty paranoid for that one guy to shoot Tiller. He was at no risk; Tiller only killed babies.
Know who is silly? Poor people. Why don’t they have more money?
The economic crisis is because we don’t have enough money, and the biggest offenders of not having money are the poor. I blame them.
I bet the next season of Lost will do a lot better in the ratings if they somehow make it a procedural.
I need to secure my Facebook user name before… Oh! Too late! I’ve already stopped caring.
I pity the North Koreans for when Obama finds out about them weaponizing plutonium. No one wants to be in the path of his righteous anger!
Maybe we should grade Obama on a curve and say we approve of his job performance as long as no one is getting nuked.
So is what’s happening in Iran basically what liberals’ feverish imaginations thought happened here in 2000?
My guess is Obama is reacting to to the Iranian election by thinking, “What would JC do?” JC, of course, is Jimmy Carter.
Obama didn’t play golf today; that’s just what he wanted Iran to think. Just wait for his decisive action tomorrow! You’ll be stunned!
Feel so impotent reading all the stuff happening in Iran. I should have got Tiger Wood’s Golf ’10 for Wii so I could pretend to be president.
As soon as the Palestinians get their own state, we should declare war on it. That would be hilarious.
I was so hoping Iran would get a president with a name I could one day hope to learn to spell.
Hey, liberals. I heard that Ahmadinejad is against abortion. Unleash your full wrath upon him! Also, not a supporter of gay marriage. Ahmadinejad is certainly no friend of Meghan McCain.
You’d think liberals could put at least half the anger they aim at Prop 8 supporters towards someone who has executed gay people.
Letterman should totally make a joke about raping Ahmadinejad’s daughter. No, that’s going too far.
Remember back in the olden days when dictatorships didn’t even feel the need to have a sham election? We’re progressing.
Everything in the world collapsing is a change… and it leaves a lot of room to hope for things.
At what point is The Atlantic Monthly an accessory to mental illness?
