Patriotic Battle of the Bands

Here’s “We the People”, by Lloyd Marcus – a conservative with some vocal talent – who bills this as “the NEW Tea Party Unity Song”:

The title (NOT the actual content) of the above song put me in mind of an old Schoolhouse Rock short called “The Preamble”:

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.

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.

Obama the Sociopath

Posted by on

Okay, I can see an argument for not more forcefully condemning Iran and for not breaking off negotiations with them — I mean, I hugely disagree and think we have a sissy for a president, but those arguments at least exist in my universe. What I don’t get is this not rescinding a party invite. For the first time since 1979, Iran is being invited to our Independence Day barbecue. And I guess we’ll hand out moist towelettes on the way in so people can wipe off the blood of the oppressed.

This is so horrible, I expected it to be debunked on Snopes. I don’t mindlessly believe anything bad about Obama; if someone came up to me and said, “Do you know Obama has a secret rape room in the White House where he sodomizes puppies?” I’d say, “Did you know you’re a moron?” And this inviting a oppressive regime in the middle of brutalizing its people to a barbecue sounds made up. It’s like if Kim Jong Il nuked someone and Obama wouldn’t rescind his standing invitation to him to come over and play Rock Band. And to put this in perspective: It was Carter who first stopped inviting Iran.

Obama has finally done it. He’s become more of a capitulating sissy than Carter.

I haven’t even heard how liberals are planning to defend this one, but so far their answer to all of Obama sissiness is that he’s just being smart and not letting emotions let him do anything rash. At what point, though, does turning a blind eye to the suffering of others makes him a sociopath? Isn’t it always the bad guy in the movies who let’s horrible things happen for the greater good?

I hope he’ll at least reconsider inviting Iran over to celebrate America’s Independence. Maybe he can do something less anathema to the spirit of the day, like urinating on George Washington’s grave.

Random Thoughts

A house bit me during the full moon. I hope it wasn’t a werehouse.

One of the main features of mammals is hair, but we, the most advanced mammal, have relatively little hair. Weird. I guess hair is great and all, but once you can figure out how to sharpen a rock to use as a tool, there’s just less use for it. And futuristic people and aliens are often portrayed as bald. The more advanced your technology, the even less you need hair.

In this situation, we should ask ourselves, “What would Ron Paul do?” And then what to do if kung fu fighting invisible ninjas doesn’t work.

So how many dictatorships has Obama saved or created?

That’s it! I’m running away from home and joining the Dick Cheney Assassination Squad!

My stupid dog has no appreciations of fine wines. You don’t just lap them up, idjit.

Kangaroo courts are as bad as they say. Prosecuting kangaroos get to badger witnesses and ask leading questions. Also, lots of hopping.

If being a man is too much for Obama, could he at least aim for butch lesbian?

For all we know, Sanford could be being attacked by a polar bear as we tweet. Did they check the shadow of the statue?

We’ve gone from: “You can’t expect Obama to speak out” to “You can’t expect him to not negotiate” to “Let’s have a fun party together!”

Best 4th of July celebration would be personally strangling the bastards.

Brutally murdering people isn’t enough to lose a party invitation from Obama. Kinda puts his relationship with Ayers in a new light.

New hard line from Obama: If Iran continues its brutal behavior, no sprinkles at the ice cream social.

Can we all calm down and admit that nothing that’s happened in Iran is worth people’s feelings getting hurt over not getting a party invite?

Obama’s actions remind me of all the great leaders who stood silent during massive atrocities.

It’s so wrong to find it funny that Perez Hilton got beaten up, but I CAN’T HELP IT!
