Have you seen the video of the school children being taught to sing a song praising the leader of their country?
No, not in North Korea.
No, not in Mao’s China.
No, not in Saddam’s Iraq.
No, not in Hitler’s Germany.
But in the United States, in this day and time…
I wish this was a joke.
The good news? It is. If you voted for Obama. Because if you voted for Obama, the joke’s on you.
UPDATE: Fox News and CBS News are on the story. As, now, are overseas news outlets.
A liberal blogger pointed out what we all basically knew, that Democrats only supported the war in Afghanistan out of political calculation. So all that talk of Bush going to war for less than honorable intentions was really just projection.
But if Democrats don’t even honestly support a war when America was directly attacked, when would they ever approve of a war? Well, looking at when liberals legitimately get angry, here are things that could motivate them to start a war:
* Asking a tough question of president Obama.
* Giving aid or comfort to an attractive woman who is a conservative.
* Questioning how smart they actually are.
* Putting a plastic bottle in with regular trash.
* Suggestions of America’s exceptionalism.
* Being mean to terrorist masterminds.
* Mentions of God.
* Pointing out the extreme liberal bias in the media.
* Israel defending itself.
* Disagreeing with them. On anything.
Every time there’s a flashback to guy driving a car, he’s always listening to a song from that year. No oldies stations in the past?

Rich Galen of Mullings observed:

If a Republican were the Secretary of Health & Human Services and, as part of the national effort to control swine flu had given the advice to “cough into your elbow” that would have been the national joke for the ensuing six weeks.
And he’s absolutely right.
Comedically speaking, there’s no difference between “plastic wrap & duct tape” and “cough into your elbow”. They’re both serious advice for real problems that can be very easily taken out of context.
For example:
“Where are you more likely to hear the phrase ‘plastic wrap & duct tape’: a Department of Homeland Security Briefing, or an episode of Dexter?”
and
“Overheard in the Clinton Oval Office: ‘I wouldn’t have been impeached if I’d done that into my elbow'”
Anyway, I encourage people to reduce this administration to a tasteless punchline whenever possible, so make today “_______ your elbow” day.
To get you started, I recommend adding the phrase “in your elbow” after every fortune cookie fortune you read. For example:
* “You find beauty in ordinary things, do not lose this ability.”
* “Your everlasting patience will be rewarded sooner or later.”
* “Something you lost will soon turn up.”
* “A pleasant surprise is in store for you.”
* “You have a deep appreciation of the arts and music.”
* “Look for new outlets for your own creative abilities.”
* “Smiling often can make you look and feel younger.”
* “You will inherit some money or a small piece of land.”
* “A thrilling time is in your immediate future.”
* “Plan for many pleasures ahead.”
* “A secret admirer will soon send a sign of affection.”
* “Love always and deeply.”
As always, leave your elbow-mockery in the comments.
